Basic Makerunways question(s)

MOVED FROM FAQ SUBFORUM

Hi Pete,

 I'm an FSX Acceleration (ab)user ~:)

I've used your awesome FSUIPC payware program for years,  and also Makerunways.exe,  WideFS / Client....

Tonight I suddenly realized that I don't actually know much about using Makerunways.exe.

When do you recommend that it be executed ?  When (if ever) is it required to be executed ?

Should it be executed following  Navigraph database updates ?  Or the installation of new

payware or freeware sceneries ?

  Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Ken Boardman

Only after any scenery additions,  revisions, or deletions. Or, of course, after an FS update.

As just stated, or never if you have no programs wanting to use the data files it generates. You don't name any such programs,

No. That data is separate from scenery (airport facility) data and Makerunways does not read it.
