just checked again ricardo. the runways are sitting on a elevated plateau. right before the threshold of 33r 33l and 28 is a huge dip down canyon in the pics above. its gotta be the cvx. i took out the cvx lvfr and temporarily installed the cvx kbwi from avsim library from freeware Watsup Sceneries and the elevation problems went away but get some flickering of the ground textures.

Hi, because of the way we did KBWI, there is going to be some minimal flickering goin around. My apologies for that.

i dont get flickerings. i only get flickering when i use the kbwi cvx file from freeware Watsup Sceneries. i replaced the LVFR one (i backed up LVFR by the way) to check, AND all the elevations problems went away....but i did get the flickering. when i place the original LVFR KBWI cvx file back into the folder, i get the elevation problems.

Yes, please increase mesh resolution to 5 meters or higher. The less mesh resolution it will cause this.

I also have these "spikes" at KBWI, putting my mesh resolution to 2 meters instead of 1 meters fixes it but then my plane bounces around when I taxi over the area where the spikes used to be.

I usually keep my mesh resolution at 1 meters (slider at full right) and I don't mind moving it to 2 meters when I am at BWI. I was hoping there was something I could do to stop my plane from bouncing all over the place (it bounces pretty badly when I taxi over the area).

does that bouncing only happens when you put the mesh to 2 meters?

When I put the mesh at 1 meters the spikes appear and my plane bounces around when I drive over them, when I put the mesh at 2 meters the spikes disappear but my plane bounces like the spike were still there. I tried putting the mesh at 5 meters but the planes still bounces around and the scenery doesn't look right at 5 meters.

Can you show me pictures of the spikes please? they are supposed to be at the edges of the taxiways I believe.
