Floating runway (Read 215 times)

Hello everyone

I am designing an airport for Flightsimulator, and am wondering how I make the runway stop sticking underground, and floating.

here are two pictures:

So, have I done something wrong?
Do I need level ground?
Can you please direct me to a terrain leveling program or similar?

Thanks

EDIT:
Could a scenerey.cfg edit fix it:

What scenery design program are you using?

From the pictures, it looks like the "Flatten Area" is not there, in the wrong place or you didn't add one properly.

When you set the ground elevation or add a "Flatten Area", check it to make sure it is in the correct spot.

Then when adding ground runways, ground textures etc., I always set them at .01 or .02, this helped eliminate any "flicker" issue with the ground.
