Flight plan converter, FxmlToFLT, FxmlToFlt.zip
This utility, written and copyrighted by John Nunez in 2014, converts the new format "FXML" flight files into the older format "FLT" for use by unmaintained programs such as RCV4 (Radar Contact version 4). RCV4 provides restart options from saved flights but can only read the old FLT format.

Make Runways utility version 4.872 MakeRunways 4.872
-- For P3D3 and P3D4, this version uses a Lorbi-SI's AddonOrganizer derivative called "LorbySceneryExport", (included with MakeRunways) to create a scenery.cfg fil it can use even when the scenery add-ons are distributed according to various XML file. 
Please see the document included in the MakeRunways ZIP!

-- Version 4.835 just adds a new command line option, used by SimStarterNG, for programs which pre-generate the MakeRwys_Scenery.cfg file, so not needing MakeRunways to call upon the Lorby program..
-- Version 4.84 fixes a problem with getting runway threshold offsets. [Note this may still not work with sceneries compiled using the latest P3Dv4 tools]
-- Version 4.85 adds the command line option /Jetway to make the Gares file to include a flag for those gates with a built-in jetway (i.e. one in the AFD BGL).
-- Version 4.86 uses a special version of the program from Lorby-Si to generate the MakeRwys_Scenery.cfg file. This version is included in the ZIP, with kind permission.
-- Version 4.861 improved the reliability of using the Lorby program output.
-- Version 4.863 removes the use of  P3D4AddonOrganiser, depending only on the included exporter instead.
-- Version 4.864 puts more information at the top of the log (Runways.txt), including any error information relating to the use of the Lorby program. The documentation also now reminds you to run MakeRwys "as administrator".
-- Version 4.865 handles Taxiway names of the maximum of 8 characters better (only a Logging change,  i.e. runways.txt)
--  Version 4.871 fixes runway MagVars to match Airport ones when the latter have been updated by a later BGL containing no runways -- eg by FSAerodata or Herve Sors update pacages.
--  Version 4.872 includes a fix for a very obscure bug which causes it to crash after completing all the main files, but whilst assembling the Comms frequency files, f4.csv and f5.csv. It occurs when a scenery folder contains many AFDs re-defininig the same airport data and accumulating those frequencies. For the earlier data duplicates are rooted out early. Comms were dealt with differently, by search a built list for selected frequency types.
