Ho op. It's been some time since I messed around with FSSC. This might sound too basic but it's worth mentioning. I think the altitude of the polygons is relative to the airport. No matter what altitude your airport is the polys at ground level would be 0 (zero) feet/metres. You might need to raise them a fraction to stop flickering.
PS. If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me.

Don't worry Doug, I think your right.
In the properties box there is an input box saying Altitude. Have a fiddle with that.
The help on that box says that it is relative to the scenery altitude. That could be your problem. And what Doug says about flickering is definatly true.

Late on this one huh? Tough to beat Hagar on a topic, lol.
All is true that Hagar and Dan mentioned. I will give you another hint that I learned when using FSSC.
As mentioned, everything you add is relative to the Scenery Altitude you set off the get go. When adding polys, objects, runways and taxiways, it is always good and strongly suggested to set it's altitude a fraction higher than 0. Say.... .01 or .02. This allows a better display, no flickering and eliminates any potential display problems.
Good luck op with your scenery. It's a lot of work, but fun to learn.
