Either the airfield has not been properly flattened (check the HFD), or the tile's tag value is other than 0, most likely set to 1. Use gerwin's TFDtool, to check. The Latest versions of TFDtool can fix the tiles' tag values, which sometimes are wrong even on stock Thirdwire terrains. Wrong tag values can bring to a number of issues: airfields not treated like perfectly landable areas, the possibility of landing over water instead of sinking, etc.

The surrounding tiles also have the TAG value set to 0? I have no clue as to why this is happening. Make sure to remove any _HM.bmp files and their relative entries from the _DATA.ini, it might help!

Also, which terrain is that? I am asking because some SF1 terrains upgraded to SF2 standards need some changes to the _DATA.ini; for instance, if you find the following inside the _DATA.ini, remove it completely:

[NoiseTexture]
Size=256
MinColor=207
MaxColor=255
Frequency=1.7
ResolutionFactor=4.0
StartFadeDistance=200.0
EndFadeDistance=500.0

The NoiseTexture must not exist in the DATA.ini for SF2 terrains. Its function has been deprecated and can cause this kind of issue you're having.

To be more safe than ever, also copy and paste the following entries for the terrains' _DATA.ini, replace the original values:

Just did. Removed the _M.BMP with no success. The other DATA.INI tweaks already done. Same result. I believe it has relation with the airfield itself. I´m pretty upset...
