well exxxcuuuuussse meee...i didn't take the photos, it's the best i can do. and don't give me any lip for you seeing what you obviously want to see...

maybe if you look hard enough you can find paint markings on kwajalein



next time, perhaps you should take note on whether or not i agree or disagree with something...it's usually very clear. what the op did not take into account is the way objects render in ah. perhaps you should take note. the aproach stripes or runway numbers would not be visible until the runway detail is visible i.e. if your system doesn't render the runway, you won't see the stripes or numbers.

The only problem I had is how you respond to someone who has been around long enough to have seen runways in the 1940's. You can make any point you want but when you respond to an 80 year old pilot you shouldn't be sarcastic. If making statements to belittle senior citizens is right and calling someone out who does it is wrong then I sincerely apologize to the entire community for being out of line.

Gyrene, I'm quite serious. I don't know what you're talking about. The only time it is hard to see is when there are trees and buildings obscuring my approach when I'm 10 feet off the ground (hey, I'm sloppy, it happens sometimes).

I've almost never had a hard time ever seeing a runway. I think, even hypothetically, that if you can't see the RUNWAY, you're not going to see the lines on it too well.

In all seriousness, please post a screenshot.

krusty, come on...you're acting like midway...different angle. under 3000ft on approach...the runway disappears unless you zoom in or get right on top of it.

Correctamundo!!  :cheers:

I'm not ususally flying at 30k over the base I'm gonna land at.

Usually under 2k on approach.

Anybody have a shot of THAT?

I'm with Krusty on this...I have never experienced any problem seeing the runway regardless of alt or glide slope angle.

A difference in "detail" being displayed perhaps?

even with your detailed terrain on - is your graphics that bad?

just leave the basic stuff on with the bump map terrain... much easier to ID anything ;)

My graphics are fine ..... I7 ...12gigs ram...ATI 5870. 24" monitor.

I'll mess with stuff to see if I can manage to see the runways any better than I can now.

As it stands, I have a REALLY hard seeing it until I"m almost on it.

Maybe my settings are screwy. But I don't think so.

I can understand that some guys have no problem seeing the runway....BUT..some guys can't.

I'm pretty sure they didn't paint the runways in WW2. These aren't airports, remember.  :devil

Our airbases do look a lot more like WWII airports than WWII airbases.

There is already a duplicate thread of this in the wishlist forum. FYI. That is the one that should be responded to.

Not just you, I have trouble seeing the runway under 1K as well. Although usually, just looking at my compass and lining up with the corresponding runway does the job.

It would help if you had maybe FRAPS of it or even just screenshots.
