Several months ago I noticed a big elevation issue at Needles airport (KEED) that generated a cliff-like drop off in the space between the perpendicular runways. I wonder if that’s still there.
But even more, I wonder what the root cause is for all of this - an errant flatten switch? Something throwing off a detection that imposes such a switch? Bad elevation data?
I don’t know, but it concerning. I’d never seen this prior to the beta.
That KMRY one is so bad. I have to think it’s an errant flatten switch. Some things to test - what’s the indicated elevation at both ends of the runway? Is it indeed flat? Because it shouldn’t be. It reminds me of the bad old days of P3D and FSX where runways would always be flat and generate a false “levee” on the end that should be lower or a depression on the end that should be higher, spending on which elevation measurement was used to generate the flat runway.
Hmm… it almost looks like the elevation of the ends of 10L and 28R are swapped. Both 28s should be on a plateau above the surrounding area to the east. That’s another possibility - an errant/swapped numerical elevation input.
Well, the totally nuts thing is it has the runway graded in the opposite direction of the actual elevation change that it naturally has. It’s lower at the 10L end IRL. In the sim it is a seriously steep grade climbing towards 10L. Something is totally jacked here.
Yeah, I realized that a minute after my post and added it. The ends seem to be swapped. If this is happening en masse, something has either corrupted the database or the code that reads it.
I just enabled Beautiful Model of the World’s KMRY (2020 version enabled in 2024) and it looks as it should, so the issue is definitely one related to autogen.
Ya, that looks a lot better, save for the errant glideslope antenna. I think there’s an RVR transmissometer there, but 28L does not have a glideslope. Another item for the scenery object thread I’m trying to get going.
Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes
Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• Can add EDVK to the list.
If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:
• Same setup (7800X3D, 4800 Super, 32GB RAM)
I just checked out EDVK, and it is indeed quite a problem.
Anyone else notices its worse in the last build?
I haven’t reviewed my known spots, yet.
I’m worried… this is still only feedback-logged that is a bad sign.
Several florida airparks were i normally fly have been improved on last 2 updates but still some did not.
FA81 still have two big bumps on the extreme south.
FD08 is missing night lights they have in reality over the border of the runaway, just white lights looking like garden chandelers, dont ask me how they got FAA approval for that 
Also LIRN got elevation issue , the entire airport filed is down the level of the terrain around
Add BGGH to this list. Now, I’m not familiar with this Greenlandic airport, but it looked… not good.
Quite the slope up to the runway.
Interesting PAPI placement.
Looks far from the impression I get from the chart.
This issue may have been started with SU1 unfortunately. Hope Asobo figures it out …
62FA Naked Lady Ranch, Florida
grass runway some slopes on west end
tarmac runway severe bumps on both ends in fact few metter outside the thresold line.
not major issues, avoidable when spoted but will crash the plane if not avoided
I see this is now bug-logged!
Heads up that KAPA is deeply errored. The ends of the 35s are 30’ or so lower than they should be and the 17s are 50’ or so higher than they should be. The runway should gently slope down to the north but instead it’s fairly steeply sloped up to the north. The south end of the airport is also depressed compared to the surrounding terrain and the north end is raised. Let’s get this taken care of - this kind of stuff is an absolute game-breaker.
Las Vegas KLAS and Nashville KBNA also have bad elevation issues around the airport. KLAS runway 26L and 26R are at vastly different elevations. KBNA has large ground craters around the ramp area.
