In FS9 there is a raised airstrip here in the middle of Illinois farm fields, which looks to be at least 50 ft higher than surrounding elevation.
Google earth shows an old abandoned air strip of Hayenges Farms that can still be seen from the air, but it is now a corn or soy field with no runway and no elevation above surrounding terrain.
I found it when I was flying from Sprigfield to Shelbyville, touch and go to Decatur, touch and go to Lincoln, touch and go to full stop at Central Illinois Regional. I was going to T&G CIRA and go to Peoria and back to Springfield, but ran out of time before honey do errands.
Also, when I landed and parked at general aviation parking, I had a square piece of grey floating above the parking area about 50ft up. No supports, just hanging in the air above my plane and the semi-transparent AIs parked there......
Strange.
