Confirm, choose a random helipad in the mountains, I have rocks
As a pilot I know that you must overfly a non prepared runway, but boulders over concrete are a bit unrealistic

(With the runway and helipads database it should be straightforward to remove them, I book the idea for an addon )

Btw, I witnessed rocks on glaciers too, if it is a feature I would take the opportunity to do some cleanup on in my mountains addon (skiers won’t like boulders on pistes)

A side comment to this: The airport diagram for WY32 states this should be a gravel runway (confirmed with latest bing/google map data).

Yeah, it shouldn’t be too different from what’s pictured behind the Kodiak at the actual airport:

I can confirm this at several of my airports

Same here for all my custom airports

It is better but there are still some rocks in the runway (SKAR)

Also, is it possible to do the same and remove the autogenerated dirt (wear & tear) in the parkings and taxiways? (2020 Packages) we made a post relating this in particular Excessive autogenerated dirt/wear/grunge

Hello @vpilotfs

Can you create a dedicated report for weathering being too strong please?
