I don't know but i'll try again this week end using SRTM-30 data instead
to see how it goes. For now I just generated the airport without terrain
at altitude = 0

We are adding/changing taxiways and runways unsing TaxiDraw and we are
trying to improve  the visual look intersecting taxiways by putting fake
squared taxiways with a uniform texture at the intersection. Btw how do
terragear compute which taxiway goes over other taxiways when they are
overlapping ? It uses the order of definition in the airport file, right
?
We also noticed terragear divide taxiways into two segments and that the
texture is not correctly aligned in some case (the centerlines are not
aligned).

If we have time we'll put some buildings, what's the easiest way to do
this ? 


The purpose of all this is to draw a specific HUD that we've done, that
helps the pilot for navigating on the taxiways/runways when the
visibility is bad (like drawing the centerlines in the HUD)
