Here's a good one in the "Anomalous Structures" category.......was checking out Albany NY (going there this week) and saw this bridge going across the river... think they padded the materials budget or what? Must be 6 bridges in there, all told! _________________ "Once your reputation is ruined, you can live quite freely."

You might have accidentally gotten some of that "Escape From New York" scenery

WEll I think I saw something that may explain it.....on final approach to Albany this AM I saw that bridge, and on the west side there is THE most complex interchange, cloverleaf over and underpass system I have EVER seen in my life!!!!!

Damn I wish I had time to get a picture......I pity the guy who had to model it and no wonder it came out this way....just a real can of worms I'm telling ya!

Seriously though, is that after you did the 9.1 patch? I havew just done the update but have not flown much yet. That patch is supposed to fix a lot of bridges. _________________ Do you realize that in about 40 years, we'll have thousands of OLD LADIES running around with tattoos?

I have the 9.1 update but can't tell if it was a result of the update or not, becuase it's the only time I've looked at that area. I don't know what it looked like before the 9.1 patch.

I heard that something happened to the person who was supposed to do the bridgesfor FS9 and that's why so many were originally missing. Then the 9.1 patch adds a ton of them.

It could be that the FS9 "Albany Anomaly" is a big clue to what happened......it appears a complete mental breakdown could have occured while trying to model the very complex real-life structures!
