The failure to get past the splash screen is not a rendering issue, but
something more fundamental with the BVH failing to function terrain. Or
possibly we aren’t generating the terrain request in the first place.

I’ve seen it myself, but haven’t had the time to investigate the the issue
in detail.

As Scott already said, airports are loaded separately.  There is a package
of WS30 airports available that you can add to your FG_SCENERY.
