I'm doing an add-on for an airport in FS2002 with Airport 2.60, i'm almost finished and I'm getting these polygons of light streaking around like ghosts when I fly over the scenery. What's worse is when I fly at night and I see one of them flash by, my pc locks up and I have to push the forbidden button. Anyone know what's causing this?

Well i've been doing some more testing and it was Paul Harmons clearpad.api which was actually designed for CFS1, but despite it causing one error message during compilation, it was working really good. It must of been that error message trying to telling me not to use that pad. Its a shame I had to remove it but the flying polys are gone. Unfortunatly the seize ups are not! It's only at night and only when turning sharp, like in a helicopter or taxiing. I'm thinking it might be the frame rate going too low as this scenery has ALOT of macros. Any thoughts?

Hi
Have you tryed the latest ver of the scasm 2.86
from here http://www.scasm.de/
there are some changes or additions for FS2K2

As for the lockups what I do is set each type of macro to a different scenery level then run  the game.
ie
set buildings A to show only on very s.p.a.r.s.e (GRRRRRRRRRR type in Spa rse and get spbum:) ) then buildings B to show on s.p.a.r.s.e then trees to show on normal ect ( I use FSSC but airport should be the same)
then when in game change scenery to very s.p.a.r.s.e fly around then up to s.p.a.r.s.e ect until it crashes then I know which macro or addon is causing the prob
Also as its at night you might like to make sure the night texture is ok not sure how fs2k2 uses them but cfs2 fs2k used a _LM.bmp tag
Hope this helps

Yes, thats what i would suggest.
