Question. Ever since first playing MSFS, I have found that many but not all of the bridges worldwide, have dark skirts hanging down under them to the water or the ground below as the case may be. They appear as solid non-see through walls. In NYC for example, several bridges, but again not all, have this issue in my installation. If I try to fly under such a bridge, the aircraft will sometimes crash as if running into a solid wall. Has anyone else experienced this anomaly or is this a glitch perhaps unique to my installation?
