Hi Fred,
IIRC, when I was using FGSD and TaxiDraw to get the "new" NZWN layout. When
I laid it onto the processed raw data, in parts it *sunk* below the terrain
because the terrain wasn't expecting (read suitably modified) to accomodate
the airport. At that stage I thought that the terrain had to be marked as
*airport* so the elevations generated by the TaxiDraw output would over-ride
the terrain elevations.
Subsequently I have come across some-one that had trees growing in the
middle of the runway; even when the TaxiDraw output sat on the terrain ok,
but the underlying terrain was not marked as *airport* but *forest (or
whatever)* and *random objects* were enabled.
This was quite a few months ago so I may not be up with the *current*
play...but I believe this is still the case ...yeah?
Regards
:-D ene

Quoting "Buchanan, Stuart" :

4) Use Taxidraw to design your taxiways and runways and then load the
generated
file in FGSD SVN ( CVS is dead ) to rebuild your tiles from raw data to
have
instant scenery.

That's surprising. I will look into that
