KORD's hilly runways

Hey fellow XP'ers,

 

I've got Ted's scenery for Chicago (http://web.me.com/theosdavis/xpfiles/downloads.html). When flying on VATSIM, I uncheck "runways follow contours" to prevent FSX planes from "hovering".

 

The downside with this is that some runways, specifically at ORD, are now lumpy. i.e. they are not flat.

 

Any ideas on what I can/should do in this case?

Aircraft "Hover" because either you have the wrong altimeter setting or they do, not because of runways follow terrain contours (Sometimes, there are discrepencies in ground layouts and altitudes).

No, they do hover because of the runway contour setting, as far as I know.

So I guess nobody else is having this problem with Ted's scenery package?

Oh, didn't know that Kieth. And I have other packages from Ted but have gotten used to aircraft hovering, especially at helicopter events.
