Hello Gentlemen. May I ask some help on my CFS2 sceneries?

I used to make several simple sceneries for CFS2 by FSSC.
However, so far, I could not make "taxiway" appeared on my sceneries.
Some settings must be wrong. May I ask which part?

1.Scenery Properties/Dimensions/Altitude 1.7m

2.FlatArea1/Area16N(BGL)/Altitude(MSL) 1.4m

3.SurfaceArea 1 Type "Smooth"

I know 2. must be lower than 1. about 0.3m. Otherwise, "runway" disappears.

So, I select New 2D Objct/Taxiway as an attached thumbnail shows
Taxiway is made between two runways!!
But, after compiling and scenery settings inside CFS2, this taxiway never appears at all. Which setting is wrong for me?
I am looking for your kind suggestions.

Kind Regards,

try experimenting with the visability settings and bring the taxi way to the front (should be an option on the right click) if all else fails try making the taxi way using a textured polygon or us the same runway object you used for the main runways resized for the taxi way...

Thank you so much, Bortdafarm!

1.I'll try to change "visibility" on taxiway popup.
From "auto", how many meters do you think appropriate?

2.May I ask the meaning of "bring the taxiway to the front"?
What sort of action or procedure do you specify?
I could not follow this section of your kind advice.

Kind Regards,:wiggle:

have to admit i don't use the taxi ways much so i can't be precise...try just setting the visibility to 1000000ft (or as large as it will go) as see how you go from there..allso look at the layer entry mine came up as 16 try reducing it to layer 1....for the bring to front option check the ORDER option on the right click window there is the bring to front option ..wether this is just a visual aid in FSSC or wether it actually effects the produced scenery layering i don't know
