Hello L M,
There's an existing thread about disappearing taxiways on custom airports, but this also applies to default airports in v2.
The easiest reference is to look at PHOG - Kahului on the island of Maui, Hawaii. Similar effect can be seen at PHNL, PHNY, PHLI and PHMU airports. But this is not just a "Hawai'i thing", as a 10 minute slew job around the greater Los Angeles area shows the same issue at KRAL, KLGB, KHHR, KLAX, KBUR and KVNY. The gist of the issue is where a taxiway joins with another at an angle and the taxiways are not of the same width, then the display will be suppressed. The angle of junction appears to be 90 degrees. The work-around involves placing a "blocking node" on the junctioning path/taxi way at the a distance equal to the ~1/2 width of the suppressed taxiway. A picture is better than my terminology;

I would imagine this is a global situation, as this visual issue was noticed during one of my first flights in P3D2 up in Alaska.

Taxiways disappeared on default airports
Similar problem here, or at least at YSSY... no taxyway textures on twy G leading from Domestic Terminal to threshold Rwy25. Taxyway markings (yellow lines) are faintly visible but no texture....
Tried adjusting all scenery sliders to no avail.
Not a major problem by any means, just thought I'd mention it.

Eye of the beholder George,
In the grand overall scheme of things, given the number of airports portrayed, 100 yards of missing concrete doesn't seem to me to loom large....
Should this be symptomatic of a more widespread recurring issue then.... different story indeed!

Considering that there are more than 24000 airports, if just 10% have this fault and you are a student PPL at one of those 2000 airports, you will be very upset.

That sounds like they have fallen foul of their own fix which Jon has been fixing with Airport Design Editor's latest incarnations.
Maybe someone (not me - I'm here trying to find out why L-M have shut down my developer license subscription without telling me) can look at one of the default airports' XML file and see if the missing sections are set to not be visible? This was common practice with v1.4, where that line in the XML was ignored, but now they fixed it so that visibility works, that would explain why bits are missing.
