kagazi 0 Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 What version of MTX do you own? What is the file date of the KTPA in your MyTraffic X scenery folder? I have the full version of 5.3a (not the 5.3a update) and the KTPA file I have is from March 2010. It does not utilize the crosswind runway technique and does not have any fake runways. Are you certain that the file you have is from MTX? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryant 0 Posted December 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 yes sr iam certain using afx tells me that is from my traffic x i will post a pic of afx showing that the airport name ktpa mod is from mtx ...thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kagazi 0 Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Have you modified KTPA using AFX? Comment out the MTX KTPA file by placing a .passive at the end, e.g., BR2_KTPA.BGL.passive Now use the KTPA that ships with MTX 5.3 - I'm only assuming you have v5.3 since you never answered my questions. The file date for KTPA should be March 2010. Whoever redid KTPA did not reinstate the crosswind runway technique so you won't have any fake runways. BTW, those fake runways are used to fool FS9/FSX into thinking that all runways are parallel and by doing so, FS9/FSX ATC will use the non-parallels at all times. If the crosswind runways are correctly placed FSX ATC will not see them and they will have no adverse effect on your flight. If they are not placed correctly then problems, especially on approach, will arise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kagazi 0 Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 The version of KTPA that shipped with MTX 5.3 full installer has three runways only. This is according to the editor. I confirmed with ADEX. It sounds as though your update did not update KTPA. Something for Burkhard to check in the morning. If you'd like for me to take a look at your version of KTPA, you will need to zip it first before you can attach to the post. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Burkhard 22 Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I checked that the version that comes with 5.3a does not contain cross wind support, so is using two runways only. This is sufficient for the number of parkings we have there. I attch here what I have after 5.3a installation, so just use that one. BR2_KTPA.zip Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In addition, All those MyTraffic airports that do support cross wind ( KSFO, KJFK, KORD ) as example have their fake runways near the south pole and do not get mixed up by FSX ATC. If third party ATC addons try to land a 747 on a 10m long grass strip 9000 miles away, I assume the rest of the software to be of similar intelligence. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
