Airports with no scenery?

[CaptainCameronYT]

Background to the photos So i was randomly looking at Flightradar24 one night and went to check out tahiti for absolutely no reason.
Seeing a 747 SOFIA parked on the ramp got me intruiged to check out the rest of french polynesia, when i noticed 2 small dots in the ocean i zoomed in and found 2 different islands, each with an airport.
I then opened up Infinite flight to try and find these airports, and sure enough, i found both of them, NTGQ (Pukarua) And NTGE (Reao)
It would be awesome if the team could make these two airports have scenery again and possibly make them have 3d features…?

Photos!

Photos aren’t loading for me…?

[CaptainCameronYT]

Just imagine a runway in the middle of the ocean lol…

[Alec]

This is how it looks for me…

Based on what you are describing, try clearing your scenery cashe.

[CaptainCameronYT]

Cleared…

[Saudia263]

That is very strange. Try clearing scenery cache

Cmon IF, pls fix this

[InfiniteFlightDeck]

Reproduced so ut’s definitely an issue their end I’d imagen. Also, this should be in #general or maybe #support.

[Butter_Boi]

Those are what we call, aircraft carriers.

Cue the Top Gun reenactments.

[Saudia263]

Since you are reporting a issue/bug and not sharing your IF photos, this should be in #support

[SWAviator]

Well that’s interesting. Cool find.

I think they should keep it as an Easter egg tbh 🤷‍♂️

[AviatorRyan]

I like them both as an aircraft carrier! 😂

[Alec]

If you look, you can faintly see the terrain raise where the atoll should be. So it’s there, just the same color as the ocean.

[Ritesh321]

Me now wondering why you choose a Md-11 to go there
Also I didnt get what you said

@CaptainCameronYT

passengers go plop plop

These looks like autogen airports, are you able to spawn on the ramp at any of them? Or do they only allow you to spawn on the runway?

@CaptainSooraj

These looks like autogen airports

They’re all manually edited.

[CaptainSooraj]

huh.
well.
Scenery’s missing, then.

Cabin crew disarm all doors and cross check, prepare scuba diving equipment for passengers

[CaptainCameronYT]

yep it is possible to spawn on the ramp at both

Couldn’t find imagery for these islands. The airports seem to be in the right position.

Doing some research, Infinite Flight’s imagery provider, TerraColor Nextgen masks the oceans to cut out clouds, ice, and very small objects such as islands and ships. This would almost certainly be the answer to your question.

This means Infinite Flight cannot change this unless they changed the entire imagery providing source (to non ocean fill).
