Yes they do look ugly, because the new textures expose problems that are hidden by the old ones. Here are some more: ftp://abbeytheatre2.org.uk:2121/flightgear/Terrain/KSFO-Textures.jpg ftp://abbeytheatre2.org.uk:2121/flightgear/Terrain/KSFO-Textures-1.jpg ftp://abbeytheatre2.org.uk:2121//Terraflightgearin/KSFO-Textures-2.jpg These are not ordering problems - these are errors. And they are not in any old airport which I happened to find - they are at KSFO. Who is going to find and correct all these errors? I think these errors, while minor, give our primary airport an unacceptable appearance, and make the sim look unprofessional. We have enough errors and omissions in our airports without actually introducing more I have absolutely up-to-date data and source from Git here - still no stopways. Is your data up-to-date? But I suspect that the error is local, since there are no other reports of this problem.
