Hi Lawrie - the scenery looks great, but one thing I thought you might want to know is that the main runway at Mercer is actually sealed (there's a grass runway directly alongside it). I assume you based this scenery on the AIP? Mercer airport owners haven't updated their AIP page for a long time (costs too much!) so it only shows a grass runway.

Edit - I found this photo I took last year, you can see the sealed runway coincides with what you have as a road in your scenery (I think in the AIP it's shown as a sort of taxiway) and then the grass alongside it. Most aircraft operating here in real life use the seal.

Realise it's not meant to be a super accurate scenery, but just something I thought you'd like to have in mind if you ever re-did it.

Actually, i based it on a Google shot, and the AIP chart. Ok, well i could do an update, and change the seal taxiway to a runway, and use the grass one as a taxiway ........... ????? Would that suffice ???

Hah, don't feel pressured to change it, I suppose it does look a bit like a taxiway from the air too.

Going by the old AIP chart i had, and especially by the Google aerial pic, it definately looked like a taxiway !
Thats what i took it as being :lol:

Thanks for the info and pic,................... i suppose i should really make it right...........................
