KBAM - The airport beacon is a military type showing two whites and a green. This is a civilian airport, so the beacon should show white-green

    Changed the beacon type from Military to Airport. Flash pattern is now correct white-green.

    Moderator Julian reports "Road network incursion on runway 03/21" but I don't see any roads. I am not an expert, all I did was change the beacon type. If the layout is broken how did this get in here in the first place?

    The only other submission was the default scenery and most likely it did not have an exclusion zone. It is good practice to include them in every pack you create to make sure autogen elements (trees, roads, etc) do not show up in unwanted places.

    Thank you Jennifer. I am just learning. I will elevate my object detail level and add the needed exclusion zone(s) as needed. Thanks for taking the time to help me.

    I maxed out "number of objects" and "number of roads". This is XP10.51. I can't see any road incursions. I apologize for beating this to death, but I really want to get the beacon fix into the system.. Here are screen shots of the airport and the corresponding render settings (attached)

    The issue may lie in the X-Plane version. Moderators and the X-Plane team are only considering things against X-Plane 11 which has newer, recut scenery so the road patterns may be different.

    Again, it is generally always good practice to include exclusion zones if you've already gone through the trouble of creating scenery. Make sure you set them to exclude everything (it might default to nothing or only one thing, so it may appear they aren't doing anything either).
