Is "Fly KTPA" safe while flying online?

Hi, In the last few months, i been flying on a network using your demo, the default and your Tampa scenery do not match with taxiways ans specially:

Runway 36R/18L and 9/27 are not aligned with the default scenery for some reason. You probably know that this creates a BIG problem when you try to enjoy virtual air traffic with folks with no Fly-Tampa.

Can you tell us if this is situation is only present with your KTPA demo?

The mismatch you see happens with TPA and many other Airport addons as far as I know. The purpose we design these airports is to enhance realism. Knowing that, the default FS positioning for parking gates, taxiways and sometimes also runways are not accurate and therefore the mismatch.

At some locations the mismatch is more noticeable then others, depending on how accurate the data is. Also some addon airports match default runways regardles of their accuracy.
