heathrow x runway problem

[mark_kam 0]

hi

i have recently bought mega airport london heathrow for fsx

as i am approaching the airport it is taking a while for the runways to show up but everything else shows up

i have tried the approach many times to see if it wasnt just a one off.

below i have put some pictures of the situation

here in spot view i can see most of the buildings but not the runway

its not till im this close when i can see the runways

but at this same distance they are not showing up in the cockpit

as you can see at 5miles they are still not there

then finally they show up around 4miles

is there anyhting i can do to solve this

and if yes please tell me

regards

mark

Hello Mark,

Try this to see what happens, turn down the scenery sliders to normal settings IE: use the default button and see if the problem still arises.

Also does it only happen in the season you are suing in the shots.

HI,

dont use a too high zoom in value. If you did not: At the Heathrow/Aerosoft support site is a patch to change the Approach lights to "more default" ones with higher visibility.

Or temporarily rename the fiel Heathrow/scenery/apron_fsx.bgl to apron_fsx.OFF and see if it fits better. This file creates an low texture overlay of the entire airport to provide larger visibilities of the airport, but sometimes it reduces the visibility of the RWY´s.
