Hi @BrianT,

I am having some strange issues moving the project to GitHub. It may be easier if I just add you to the Azure project for the time being. Could you let me know your Microsoft user name and email and I will try and add you. Thanks,

John

I've sent you a DM John

I will now handle this...

I have managed to clone the project and build it. You need VS2017.
Tomorrow I will transfer it to my GitHub account and give you access there. I'll post the new URL when done.

John

thanks John

Did you also login with your Microsoft account?

I have just checked, and the repo is still private. If you let us know your microsoft user account name, @Pete Dowson can either add you to the project, or make the repo public (it is up to him!).

John

 

I did yes, I've sent him a message with my UN, thanks for the advice

[Issue MakeRwys]

Just checked John and while trying to clone the DB git is asking for a username for Pete's visualstudio.com so I guess it's not public as of yet

The MakeRunways source is (or should be) available for anyone to download and modify. It is available from a git repository at the following location:
    https://petedowson.visualstudio.com/MakeRunways/_git/MakeRunways

So, to install locally, start VS and then click Clone a repository and enter that repository location. Make sure that you have Git installed on your PC.
If you get any errors, let me know (I am not sure if Pete has actually made this a public repo yet...). I think you may also need to authenticate yourself with a Microsoft account first.

I am also not sure what version of VS this is built with... you should be able to use this in all/most versions of VS, but you may need to install some older/newer libraries, but VS should prompt you with this - I wouldn't recommend updating the platform toolset if prompted.

John

Many thanks John I'll take look into it later today.

Sounds like MS has messed up the language files providing this data.

Sorry, but I'm not able to maintain MakeRwys these days. I've offered the source to anyone (needs to know C/C++) who wishes to take it on, but I have fully retired from programming.

Hi Pete,

As I've just retired, I'm looking to fill my time getting back to learning C/C++. I've been an avid Flightsimer and user of both "FSUIPC" and "MakeRwys" for many years and wondered if you would be prepared to share the "MakeRwys" code with me. I understand from a previous post of yours that this must only be kept as freeware.
I have the community version of Visual studio for Windows.
I totally understand if you would rather this only went to an experienced Dev.

kind regards

Brian

[msfs2020 make runways question]

Great, I will let RAAS take care of runways.

Other people have created runway files to use with it on flightsim.to which are free and you can import but it all seems a bit unnecessary to me when all the information is already there!
I'm not sure why FS2Crew decided to create their own database when the one from Pete Dowson I believe does everything they need but hey ho.

John, I was reading that PDF manual and it is exactly what you posted. My question now is, how FSCREW RAAS will read the runways ID if such information is outside the MSFS2020?

From the FS2Crew forum.

Reminder: Do not try to import Dowson's MakeRunway database - MSFS Version - The AVSIM Community

[FSUIPC 7-3-9 still downloads FSUIPC 7-3-8]

Hi Pete and John,

7-3-9 isn't available ... download 7-3-9 gives the earlier version 7-3-8.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Best Regards

Marc

I've just downloaded it and it's 7.3.9 for me, you may want to try clearing the cache on your browser

[Make runways - command line?]

Just stumbled across this while puling my hair out trying to create the same file 😀 so I asked the question over on the Aivlasoft board and the reponse was

"I'm afraid that Transition Altitudes are no longer accessible by third party programs as during the databuilding process they are retrieved from the ARINC dataset and - as being airport specific in many countries -  included in the airport.bin file."

So unless Pete has some more Magic up his sleeve I guess this is no longer an option. 

 

[Buttons for FS2Crew set with FSUIPC]

I think they're under "T" for toggle

[Profile Manager ?]

Looks like a good idea Charlie. I'd be interested if you decide to spread your wings as it were.
