      Please note: There appears to be a limit to how wide a shoulder can be. If I make it wide enough in WED, when previewed in XP, it does not reach the wide portion of the taxiways A, B and C. Also, part of the turn nodes extend beyond the apparent allowable limits of the shoulder. The only solution is to use a taxiway surround to extend it to its proper RL width. I can see no other way to accomodate this limitation. Scenery re-submitted without any changes.

      Virtually rebuilt from scratch. Entire airport out of position. Some forest excluded as they overlay aprons. Restored within exclusion boundary only that required for a cleaner and realistic placement. Used taxiway tool for wider runway surround due to size limitations when using runway shoulder option. Standard shoulder width used in order to ensure upright runway edge lighting is used, otherwise they would have all been insets. Exclusions used to remove DSF errors: half buried com tower and empty (com tower) facade. Boundary adjusted. Some tracks added. New buildings and hangars. Corrected approach lighting type and added 4-box PAPIs emulated with 2x VASIs. 2 x AGLs used.
