Failed to make Runway CSV

[victorjr]

hello all

 

I just bought raas pro, and they told me to run the make runway program.

So, I copied it to the p3d V2.5 ! folder, adn double clicked (also tried as admin) but it didn't work. it says it failed to make the csv fiels for runway/

 

Any advise on how to fix it?

What version of MakeRunways? Older versions don't understand P3D.

 

If the P3D folder a normal P3D folder, without some migration tool being used to change names and so on?

 

Didn't MakeRunways make a log file, called "runways.txt"? If  so, see what that says, as the beginning. It needs to be able to find your SCENERY.CFG file.

Well, the new p3d moved teh scenery file to programdata..not in the folder itself.

That could be the problem I guess?

I have only P3D v2.5 installed with both hotfixes ,it runs ok and produces correct all files.

The correct SCENERY.CFG is always in ProgramData, just as it is with FSX. That's where MakeRunways is looking for it. What does your "runways.txt" file log say?

Thanks Thomas. Hopefully the OP can clarify in a similar way.

Hello,

 

I see in my log it's searching the scenery.cfg in de P3D folder, not in ProgramData.

 

How can I change ?

 

Best regards.

I see in my log it's searching the scenery.cfg in de P3D folder, not in ProgramData.

 

It only searches the folder it finds itself in if it cannot correctly identify the program (FS version) it is residing next to. It cannot find the correct ProgramData folder without knowing the simulator version. Is the only FS application name is that folder "Prepar3D.exe", no "FSX.EXE" or other named version?
