The problem is in the definition of KVUO in apt.dat. It is specified as having non-precision markings, but there is not room for those marking. It should have basic marking instead. The runway is 3263 feet minus 762 feet for the overrun so its only 2500 feet left for the runway. We need something like 2600 feet to draw non-precision markings. 1 25 0 0 KVUO PEARSON FLD - 10 45.620454 -122.656491 08x 98.220 3263 0000.0762 0000.0000 60 231331 01 0 2 0.25 0 0300.0300 + 10 45.620454 -122.656491 08x 98.220 3263 0000.0762 0000.0000 60 231331 01 0 1 0.25 0 0300.0300 http://data.x-plane.com/file_specs/Apt810.htm#RwyMarkingCodes Also, it is very important to clean up before running genapts. The following directories need to be manually purged. $work/APTBoundary/ $work/AirportArea/ $work/AirportObj/ Right now your *.stg files have two instances of each airport because you ran genapts twice. That is probably the source of your elevation problem around the airports since it looks like you had no elevation data on the first run.
