Isn't that where it is supposed to be? It should be about 2/3 down rwy08, near that mid-field taxiway.

Is that where it is? If so, I will increase the slope on the other side about the same.

If you post your scenery like you did before, I can take a look at it with the UFO

Unfortunately there isn't one single rise 2/3 down the runway. At each end there is a rise. One is up to 277 feet and as far as I remember the other is 274 feet. This is shown in the chart which I linked you already as well as the photograph of the runway.

No, it isn't. The chart you provided shows the threshold elevations and the highest point on the runway, which is 2/3 down rwy08. I see no other elevation data on the runway. If I am missing it, please point it out to me.

Edit: I went back to examine the airport charts, and now all are showing either error 403 (forbidden) or error 404 (not found) .

No. If you have access, check the airport diagrams, maps, and data to see if it does have a location for those "dips" or "rises" in the runway.

I'm looking at the chart right now and it says:

271 274 277 272

That is, 08 threshold is at 271 and rises to 274 at the TDZ, then there is a flat bit then a rise to 277 at the 26 TDZ and 272 at the 26 threshold.

Notice it isnt a constant slope from 274 to 277 but a flat bit (dipped down a bit) between them -- see the photograph!

The 84 metres needs to move further east, maybe about 4-5 squares and I would need 83 metres at a similar distance on the west. Leave 82 metres in the middle (as it is now). Thank you!

Here is the latest grade:

Here is the hgt file for that grade.
http://www.prolectron.com/flightgear/N49W003.hgt

If you want exact changes, may I suggest downloading that image, and use a image editor to mark where you want what, then post it here.
BTW, those squares are about 90 meters tall, and about 70 meters wide at that latitude.

Aaaah, that's better but the 83 needs to be far shorter and further west, the 84 needs to be further east and there needs to be 82 between them. I'll draw a picture shortly when I get home :)

Now we're talking! Download the image above and mark it with vertical lines to denote what elevation you want.
I'm going to be out for several hours. I'll check here when I return.

How is this? No 83 between the 82 and 84. Not too steep?

Perfect! Thank you :)

No, it shouldn't be, if I use max-slope properly.

If it needs a bit of fine tuning, let me know what you need.
