I'm using FSX....tried a reinstall of GSX and airports also...I will try and take a screen shot of this problem and post it...thanks again for all your help...
No need for a screenshot, it's a known FSX bug ( however it would be useful if you said WHICH FSX version, exactly ), and it's caused by wrong graphic tweaks or settings. You can try removing the FSX.CFG file here:
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\FSX\FSX.CFG
the sim will recreate a new one with all default settings, but you'll have to reinstall GSX after that.
