Thomas Richter Posted June 14, 2017 Report Posted June 14, 2017 Hi, this error will show in a message box if you didn't read the attached MakeRwys README.pdf file. It will tell you that you have to run the MakeRwys.exe inside the FS folder, depending which FS you use (FSX/ FSX-SE/ P3D). Thomas

Otherwise just run it twice. in 4.80 it wasn't always allowing enough time for AddonOrganizer to make the file, but it still gets made, so running it again works anyway. Pete
Richard Macdonald Woods Posted June 15, 2017 Author Report Posted June 15, 2017 Hi Peter, All now working. Many thanks.
shortspecialbus Posted June 15, 2017 Report Posted June 15, 2017 Edit: You say FSDT stuff doesn't work with P3Dv3, but this is with v4. Maybe you mean it applies to both. If it does apply to both, disregard this post! -- To keep replies in the topic you asked for, I'm seeing it create a MakeRwys_Scenery.cfg and then it creates the xml and other files. The MakeRwys_Scenery.cfg file correctly displays the FSDreamTeam, FlightBeam, etc airports. However, scanning both Runways.txt and runways.xml shows that the airports in those files are just the default ones, or potentially ORBX ones from their regions. Unless I'm misreading things. I ran MakeRwys.exe multiple times with the same results. MakeRwys.exe is 4.801, downloaded just a bit ago.

If you mean by this to just start the process over, than that also does not help.

Do you realise that you are posting in a thread which is 15 months old, and referring to a very old version of MakeRunways? You are lucky i spotted it! If you are using a recent version of the program, can you give a little more information please? * What version of MakeRunways? (The actual version number). * What version of flight simulator? (FS9, FSX, P3D1-3, P3D4) * What exactly is means by "it won't work"? Is there an error message, the wrong reslut, or what? The file named "Runways.txt", in the main sim folder, next to Makerwys.exe, will also contain useful informaation. Perhaps you could show me that, please? ete
noahjpn Posted September 13, 2018 Report Posted September 13, 2018 Hi Pete, - I used version 4.861 of Makerunways. - I use P3D - The picture below it what it show when I run the file as an admin is the main folder. Due to attachement size restrictions, I will send the runways.txt file in the next message. Thank you anyhow.

Pete Dowson Posted September 13, 2018 Report Posted September 13, 2018 If that is all of the Runways.txt file then you have a corrupted Scenery.cfg file. Check that. If there is more of the file I need to see the end part. But you have not placed the LorbySceneryExport program into the P3D folder alongside MakeRwys, so ay add-on scenery will not be scanned in any case. Please READ THE INSTRUCTIONS, especially the NOTE for Prepar3D versions 3 and 4 right there on Page 1! Pete
noahjpn Posted September 13, 2018 Report Posted September 13, 2018 (edited) Hi Pete, There is more of the file there, but I couldn't copy all of it. However, I do have the Lorbysceneryexport.exe is in the folder as well. But when I try to run the program, a winow opens for about 0.1 sec, and then closes immidiatly. In the notepad is says: ''Use the command line to start the app''. What is meant by this? I just found out I am not able to locate the prep3rd.exe file anywhere. I reinstalled the whole program, but with no succes. I have read the instructions, but don't understand what I am doing wrong. I read something about my avscanner that makes the prep3rd.exe file dissapear. I am able to run the program though, just without Proatc-X Edited September 13, 2018 by noahjpn

The expoerter is designed to be used automatically by other programs, like makeRwys. You do not run it yourself. The Lorby-Si "AddOnOrganizer" is the program you need to sort your add-ons out, especially scenery. That is worth getting, and it is freeware too. 23 minutes ago, noahjpn said: I just found out I am not able to locate the prep3rd.exe file anywhere. I reinstalled the whole program, but with no succes. I have read the instructions, but don't understand what I am doing wrong. Ouch. It does sound like your P3D install is messed up. I think you should uninstall it properly: use the Uninstall facility in the Windows setting "Programs and Features". Scroll down , find the main P3D entry, right-click and select uninstall. When it is completely uninstalled, try installing it again, but change its install location. Something like C:\Prepear3D would be good. Just not "Program Files" which can cause some programs all sorts of problems because of Windows protections. Pete
noahjpn Posted September 13, 2018 Report Posted September 13, 2018 Thank you so much Pete, I really appreciate it. I will give it a shot again tonight when I am home. I will let you know of the result. However, is it possible to run p3d even without the prep3rd.exe? Because I am able to run the program, and fly. Everything works fine, only the proactc-x part not.

That is the heart of P3D. But it means the registry is all screwed up, so things cannot be found where they should be. If you look at the right-click Properties of the shortcut icon you use to run P3D you will find the path to it. Pete
noahjpn Posted September 13, 2018 Report Posted September 13, 2018 I finally got it! All I had to do was drag the p3d icon that was on my desktop to the p3d folder, and then restart my pc. Thank you so much Pete!
Swissdani Posted July 10, 2019 Report Posted July 10, 2019 Helle Pete Sorry for bringing that old topic back up again, but I am having the following problem. I tried to use makerwys.exe today for the first time after updating my RAAS Pro. I placed the makerwys.exe and the lorbysceneryexport.ext into the main Lockheed Martin/Prepar3dv4 root folder. However when I start the makerwys.exe I get the error message: Failed to make all of the data files. I did run the programme as administrator and I tried 2 or 3 times with the same result. From the manual I read that the Addon Organizer is not needed, still I installed it, but the result is the same. Any idea what I could be missing? Kind regards Dani

How big is that? Were any of the expected files produced? Also: are you using version 4.801, as per the title of this thread? If so then that will probably explain it. The current version is 4.872! If the Runways.txt file is short enough, or you can cut and paste just the first page or so, then please show us what it says. Pete

Just downloaded the programme yesterday. I saw that there was a new makerwys_scenery file (or similar Name) just below the .exe file. But there was nearlly no Information inside, just a few lines of text. Something with [AREA] if I remember correctly. I will post you the runways.txt file tomorrow or Friday, i will not make it back to my flightsim computer today. Dani

I am away from early tomorrow until the following Friday (the 19th), but maybe John or others can help. But you can also try Lorby-Si support, because the MakeRunways_Scenery.CFG file is built by the Lorby-Si scenery export program, and that needs to be correct for MakeRunways to process the scenery files added via the Add-Ons.XML methods. If you have the Lorby AddonOrganiser, run that free-standing and see if that finds all your sceneries okay. If not, then the problem is to do with your folders not found under the correct names. You haven't renamed the Prepar3D.exe file have yo? Just check that it is there is the same folder you placed MakeRunways into. I get the feeling that you are placing it into the wrong folder. Another test: if you remove the scenery export EXE from the MakeRunways folder, then execute MakeRwys, if the folders are correct it should find all of the default scenery layers and any add-on sceneries added the old way, via Scenery.CFG.

Pete Prepar3D.exe is where it belongs in the root Folder. The same place I put the makerways.exe and the Lorby.exe as well. Just to confirm you mean the Lorby Export.exe right? I can give that a try later this week. Yes, the Addon Organiser finds all my sceneries. Dani

Yes, the Addon Organiser finds all my sceneries. Well, the LorbySceneryExport program is merely a special version of that AddOnOrganizer which MakeRunways can call directly to do the same processing, -- generating the scenery list you see in AddOnOrganizer, and writing it out to the MakeRunways-chosen filename. The same sort of export can be produced also by AddOnOrganiser (I think you just right-click and select export). So, without being able to see the details in the log ("runways.txt"), I think you need Lorby-SI support to resolve your problem. Pete
Swissdani Posted July 13, 2019 Report Posted July 13, 2019 Hi Pete It may take a while until you read this but I got good news today :-) It looks like there was one duplicate entry for an FSDT scenery which the AddonOrganiser could solve. After that MakeRunways worked as expected. Thank you very much for your help.
Gleb Danilenko Posted October 27, 2021 Report Posted October 27, 2021 Hi Pete, I have a similar problems Make Rways 5.127. Failed to make all of the data files! Failed to make FStarRC RWS file! Total airports = 0, runways = 0 How can i fix it?
John Dowson Posted October 27, 2021 Report Posted October 27, 2021 What FS are you using? Is a Runways.txt file generated - if so, please attach so Pete can take a look - if it is large, you can zip it. John
