Thanks, Tony......it is rather frustrating when you need the daylight to
maneuver. Interestingly, what happens when loading fs, I first get a message
that it's loading terrain data. Very quickly, it flashes the aiport screen in
the correct daylight. Then it says it's loading terrain data again. It is
after that it shows incorrectly. Any idea why it's loading terrain data twice?
(maybe together we can resolve this!)
Thanks again...........
