Spectacular places
This page lists spectacular places in the default scenery of FSX. Some issues are due to bugs while others are real. The page will continuously be developed with new places.

| Major terrain mesh bug at Dagali (ENDI) in Geilo, Norway | Runway build on a platform at Knox Landing (15NK) in Sardinia, New York, USA. Others: 86T |
|
 |
 |
|
| Airport located in a hole at Armando Schwarck (SVAS) in Venezuela. Others: SLLJ | The 100 ft runway should instead have been a helipad, at Newcastle Westpac Base (YXFV) at New South Wales, Australia |

| Spectacular runway layout at Spencer NOLF (NRQ), Pace, Florida, USA, but even more spectacular transition from FS2004 to FSX (see right picture) |
FS2004 version of Spencer NOLF (NRQ), Pace, Florida, USA | |

|
| If you follow the glideslope for rwy 30 at Sentani (WAJJ), Indonesia, you'll eventually crash into the lake |
The 660 ft wide asphalt runway at 44CA is wide enough to takeoff from across in a Cessna 172 |
|

|
| Tower on the runway at Wattisham Army (EGUW), UK |
A road near the rwy 10 threshold at Norfolk NS (KNGU) make cars cross the runway | |

Airport located in a hole at Kasane (FBKE) in Botswana | |
 |
 |
|

The strips on Eastern Island, Midway Islands, are (in FS) apron of the adjacent Henderson Field (PMDY). Real-life they are old abandoned runways. | |

Comments:
I've seen a few pretty bizzare things on FSX. I've seen trees on roads, buildings on the ocean. If you takeoff from CYAG, and head eastward toward a bridge, you will notice power towers on the lake. In real life, those towers are there, but they are supported by little islands.the runway with the cars crossing is hillarious
The runway with the cars is almost like that in real life. It really should be a tunnel underneath the runway. Check it out in google earth.
Put: KNGU in on Google Maps on 'sattelite', the road on runway 10 at Norfolk actully exists! LOL!
The Queen Mary is there in FSX (don't know about FS2004), fly heading 200 from KLGB.
Fly the Panama Canal in FSX and you will find the QE2 sitting sideways in the locks. Talk about "dry dock"!
For any serious sim adventurer you have got to get the GLOBETREKKER 1000 which has a list of 1000 of the most difficult and most challenging airports for FS-9 and FS-X. It also includes all of the known glitch airports and many many more not listed here! You can find it on E-bay or drop a line to Captannemo-at-earthlink-dot-net!
ENDI- airport looks just OK to my fsx. No mesh bug at all!
Sort of reminds me of the time my Mom was lost in England, and ended up driving down a really long and straight road, she has no idea how she got there, or how she got out, but she soon realised she was driving down an RAF runway!
lol why was she driving down the runway, where's she from??
lol the cars are the most hilarious thing ive seen on a runway!!!!!!!, the atc tower on the runway looks like the camera where you place the tower for planespotting
My mom had no idea where she was going. She thought the runway was the highway she was on. She's from England herself, but obviously not from that particular area.
which airprt has the power line tower in the middle of rnway?! Just sits by itself there w/no wires or anything attached.i saw it once by chance and then shrugged it off as odd.would like to see again.ideas?
Are you talking about the CYAG thing? That's on a lake east of the airport running parralel to a bridge.
The road at KNGU actually goes UNDER the threshold of runway 10 through a tunnel. I've seen C-5A Galaxies taxi over it.
The runways at Spencer NOLF in Pace, Florida are actually like that. The FSX version is correct. The US Navy trains helicopter pilots there.
fsx:i flew over nrq and it wasent as big as i thought but it was pretty butiful!
ENDI look really weird in FSX. Big gaping canyon around the runway "platform". If it was ok, then crew and passengers would need a heli to get there.
the scenery objects for Dublin EIDW in Republic of Ireland in FSX Deluxe is indeed very accurate - I am Irish and from Dublin & have noticed on APP to RWY 10/28 & 16/34 several famous Dublin landmarks when flying in the Dublin CTA near DUB VOR
etimesut TAF base in turkey trees on the taxi way
there are wonderfull places, but im angolan and i wont know more wonderfull places nearest of me. if you can give me a solution for it, i will be very pleased. my e-mail is celsopereira_13@hotmail.com
ive seen cars go across the brige like normal and then fall of and recover (p.s the brige is the golden gate brige in san francisco if you want to see it!)
The runway on Gibraltar has a road crossing it. It is the road from the mainland out to the rock. It has trafficlights to stop the traffic when the runway is used.
Try Kukla airport, Nepal. Just below Everest.
'Try Kukla-- should read Lukla o.k.
can anyone tell me how to record my flight on a CD..??is it possible at all...??
paulanna@bluemail.ch
Thanks.
the huge runway + cars R just weird
Try Trivandrum International airport (VOTV) in FS 2004.. VOR array smack right in the middle of the runway!!
have flight sim x..suddenly it stopped logging my flights...any suggestions..tks..eericatty@aol.com
Yah dude FSX Spencer NOLF is correct. Look on wikipedia
What about 0WN5? It clames to have a grass runway but all you can see is the begginning and end of a dirt runway...
I got the EXACT furthest place downward in the ENDI hole. It is -349.6 feet so far I've seen (you fall from 23,000+ feet ABOVE sea level).
At KNGU the road goes under runway 10 in a tunnle, not over it :)
44CA Is big and all but in wideness but you cant even take off in a Money Bravo Verticly!!!
I've just been to Lake Garda in Italy. There are two car ferries that cross the lake and they are both accurately assigned in FSX, you can even see the cars on the deck ! ..... and it adheres to the published schedule !
Fly heading 018 from Icy Bay (19AK) and you'll see a huge vertical cliff on top of a mountain. The cliff continues off to the north for a long distance. I assume this is a significant terrain mesh bug because it looks so unnatural.
en el MMZP ke se supone es la Escuela Militar De Aviacion De La Fuerza Aerea Mexicana, existe un error de maya, la pista esta volando en medio de la nada
actually, FV76 appears as on a massive platform surrounded by a hole in my game, like ENDI, its not floating, it just has a special platform for it...
HAHAHAHAHA!!! Floating runway!!!
At MMZP, go east and you will see a glitch! The runway is like ENDI
yeah FV76 appears on a platform for me too, but the platform is literally a giant pillar that at the bottom has an underlying crevice, so its pretty much a giant floating pillar with a runway on top
i crossed kngu with a airbus A-380 imagine being in a car and seeing this huge jet hurdling towards you!
Try going to weather.gladstonefamily.net/site/FV76 it will show what FV76 is really supposed to look like. The place actually has a hard runway.
I also found MM16 on Google Earth (25*35'31.35"N 103*31'03.27W). The whole river is dried up anyway plus the runway is at a slope.
FV76!!!
I like that one! XD
Anybody ever found Angel falls in Venezuela?
me and my cousin tried making a boeing 747 fall of the floating runway
I love the Road Near The Runway With The Cars On It
I Like To Drive With Them In A Car I Got From fsdome.com
It's Awesome
And also everthing else is to
Sometimes some of these anomolies may be a result of display memory problems. For example, several weeks ago I took a flight to Niagara Falls and all was well. Maid of the Mist was plowing toward the falls and roads were level. A week later, I went back and found roads going up and down sharp inclines an, bridges suspended in mid-air not in contact with either shore and the Maid of the Mist in mid-air. I flew under it. I rebooted FSX and all was well.
If you check out Iwo Jima, you'll find its totally flat
so is your mom's chest
Go to santorini Greece at around 1800 (8:00 PM) and look at the sky it is pink and purble, because of the sunset, its really cool!!
Where is an airport near the Panama Canal? And how do you get there?
if i was in my plane landing on that runway with the cars on it, i'd aim fer the cars
marcos a gelabert its just next to the panama canal
Floating runway... cool
as to the road on the runway.. Yokota AFB, Japan, home of C130's has a road that DOES cross an active runway. teh road has red lights that are controlled by ATC Tower when a plane is on approach. Google Earth: Yokota AFB, Japan .. the road crosses the overrun area of the southern end of the runway!!
