Roads running through scenery.

[skiflyzander]

Well, the title pretty much explains the issue. I looked for information in a few scenery development tutorials and couldn't find anything. I thought setting an airport boundary would help, but it didn't. I attached a picture of the issue. Any help would be appreciated!

Add an exclusion zone in WED.

Sweet, that worked. Thank you for the help!

Be sure to also jump into OpenStreetMap and adjust the source data, so that when Laminar Research updates the road data, you won't have to worry about the exclusion zone anymore.

(*And take a look around your local area too! Make sure local ponds, lakes, and roads all look about right!)

Such changes won't show up in X-Plane until Laminar recuts all the scenery files, but it can help refine the process!

Greggerm, how would I go about doing that?

You can start by looking at the OSM homepage at http://www.openstreetmap.org. They have a built in editor right in the browser called Potlatch which is suitable for small tweaks like what you're describing.

After you read a bit more about how it works and gain experience, you might find one of the stand-alone editors useful. I should warn you - it can become addictive to add in and correct data in the OSM world!
