P3Dv4.5 MakeRwys 4.90 fails to make data

[a340500]

Hi Pete,

When I run Makerwys 4.90 with the lorbi-si program installed I receive the messages:

• Failed to make all of the data files!
• Failed to make FStarRC RWS file!
• Total airports = 0, runways = 0

both LorbySceneryExport.exe and MakeRwys.exe are in the Prepar3dv4.5 root folder.

In my case, D:\Prepar3D v4

What am I doing wrong?

Regards,

Mario

Hi,

did you follow the note from Instructions PDF, running MakeRwys.exe as Administrator?

NOTE that you should run MakeRunways “as administrator”. This is especially true on
Win10. The best way is to mark it needing admin privileges in its (or its shortcut)
“Properties – Compatibility” settings (right click on the EXE or the shortcut).

yes - I still get the error. I ran Version 4.835 perfect. I repalced it with v4.90 and I'm getting these errors.

Then best show me the "Runways.txt" file, which will show what has happened with a little more detail than you are giving us. That file is the log of what MakeRunways did.

i worked it out. I downloaded the latest Lorbi SI Organiser. It set the add-on.xml as precedence over scenerg.cfg while exiting the program.

Re-ran MakeRnwys.exe and its running fine now.

Could you ask on the Lorby-Si support site, please? MakeRunways simply asks that Export program to make the file, but I've no idea how it works it all out. Oliver, the author, will know the right things to ask you to check.

I had the same issue and found incorrectly formatted entries at the end of my scenery.cfg. After removing them, the exporter ran and so did MakeRunways 4.90.
