– IATA Code: 99F

– Name: El Reno Airport (El Reno, Oklahoma)

– Category: Appears to be Closed

– Description: Airport doesn’t appear to be operational anymore. Simulator depicts housing where the circle indicating the airport is. The airport circle is labeled directly over the neighborhood; no runway image is even displayed. (see below)

EDIT: If I click on the airport circle under the name, it will spawn the plane on a brown grass (alright… dead grass) field just northwest of the house in the top-corner. There is even a row of 5 parked static planes just to the southeast of the field. The field has a hold-short line between two runway marker signs that light up at night. A very unlikely scenario. I don’t even know if this exists anymore in real life, but the airport is present in the simulator. It’s the airport circle that’s in the wrong location (over the houses), but if you click on it, it will send you to the “correct” place.

(This is not to be confused with El Reno Regional Airport, which is KRQO, further south, and still in operation.) (see below)

Westheimer, TX

Identifier: O07

Airport appears to be closed irl and in the game construction is beginning in the middle of the runway.

Identifier: KDWA
Name: Yolo County Airport (west of Davis, CA)
Category: Missing its runway designations
Description: Both the 16 & 34 designations are missing from the single runway.

Identifier: 8OK4 (2nd character is a capital “oh”, not a zero)
Name: Brandley Airport (south of El Reno, OK)
Category: Closed
Description: Both Brandley (8OK4) & Pellar Farm (28OK) airport circles, on the simulator map, occupy the same runway. Only one can be correct. According to data I searched, Brandley is closed, and Pellar Farm Airport is open.

Something else is wrong there, too. Those edge markings are completely incorrect - they look like centerline stripes (proportionally, but at the wrong scale) instead of being solid. And the centerline stripes look like something else altogether. I wonder if it’s similar to the issue we observed at KAVX, where the texture map for certain markings is being swapped for another. This is potentially worthy of a specific bug report - it would be good to know what’s causing this.

• Identifier - CYKQ
• Name – Waskaganish Airport
• Category – Runway
• Description – Runway description show as “Undefined” (should be Gravel) and the actual Runway in game is “usuable”.

[MelvinQuebec]

For the MS/Asobo teams :
Although in Quebec, may we expect a correction in the “relatively near” future?
It does seem as though everything over the 50th parallel is… erroneous.

Thanks!

– Identifier: O88
– Name: Rio Visa Muni (Rio Vista, California)
– Category: Improper building texture

– Description: At fairly far distances (but still visible as one approaches from any direction), the roof of the last hanger-- to the east side of the airport-- appears to have magenta “checkboard” markings.
As you get closer, the magenta disappears and is replaced by what looks like a flat white roof. As you get closer still, sky lights appear on the roof. (That is to say, everything looks as it should). Only as you get further away, is the magenta texturing noticeable, and it’s only that one building. All other buildings at the airport (though stock and boring) appear to be fine.

Identifier: 53NH
Name: “Moultonboro”
Category: General
Description: Please see link below of MSFS 2020 report, of incorrect ICAO and name of airport. The same issue is present in MSFS 2024, but doesn’t appear to be in this list.

Incorrect Airport Information (53NH/ 4MB)

Up in New Hampshire, there is Moultonborough Airport (4MB), looking for this airport, MSFS2020 incorrectly Identifies this as 53NH (in real life 53NH/ Meredith Bay is ~8.0NM @223 degrees and is a Private seaplane strip) [53NH,4MB] [NH]

Identifier: RJXN5
Name: Kisarazu Heliport Marina
Category: Missing Helipad
Description: Kisarazu Heliport Marina (RJXN5) helipad is erroneously replaced with a building. The building isn’t solid. Beginning a flight there results in the helicopter starting half inside the structure. Just North East of RJTK.

RWY 18L is marked 18R

[CharlieFox00]

Yeah, that’s not right. The runway is an average slope of almost 3% up to the northwest, and there are definitely some bumps as you can see in the pic below, but no 30’ cliff.

Interestingly, the Google elevation also shows a bump similar to that, but a couple dozen feet to the east of the taxiway - it’s almost as if it got extended out to the taxiway in the sim. You can see it in this pic as a leveled-off spot where RVs are parked:

Yet, no cliff on the taxiway. I can see another big rise near the opposite end. It’s almost like the airport is generally sloped correctly, but there’s a big flatten polygon where that ramp is, which creates another ahead of you. Wondering if the sim has the end elevations of the runway correct.

Also, I hope my analyses of some of these are welcome in the thread - it feels like it may be off-topic, but for me it’s part troubleshooting a plethora of errors, looking for commonality, and part bookmarking and giving meaning to what we’re seeing so we can fix it in the World Hub (if possible).

Adding more details to @meh1951 report for KDFW (MSFS 2024 Airport / Helipad Issue Tracker - #914 by MelvinQuebec):

All ground markings alongside RWY 36R/18L are wrong: they say 36L/18R
All ground markings alongside RWY 35C/17C are wrong, they say 35L/17R
Taxi signs are correct.

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
At YCES (Victoria, Australia) there are invisible taxiway bumps surrounding the grass ramp area south of RWY18, where if you attempt to taxi your plane will be destroyed. I’ve tried several GA aircraft types and taxiing in different directions towards the runway with the same result.

ICAO, coordinates, or specific location:
YCES, south of RWY18 ramp parking surrounded by invisible bumps

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
Still running STOCK MSFS24

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

Every time I’ve attempted taxing a GA plane at YCES (5 times so far.)

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

1.Spawn in south of RWY18 at ramp
2. Attempt to taxi slowly to the runway.
3. Run into invisible bumps.
4. Attempt to power over them when you get stuck
5. Results in the destruction of plane.
