Using the runway exclusion in makerunways for a specific airport


Recommended Posts

Hi Pete, is their a way to use the runway exclusion in makerunways.exe to exclude a runway at a specific airport? I am asking this since RAAS calls out runways no longer in use or existing at some airport scenery.

Many thanks.

If your scenery marks then as not in use (closed for takeoff and landing), then the reference in MakeRunways' generated data will show this -- see the format definitions in the documentation.

If they no longer exist, but are present in the default airport data, then they need excluding in an add-on scenery file. Then MakeRunways will no longer list them.

MakeRunways doesn't actually "make runways", it "makes runway data files". It can't change anything. For that you need something like ScruffyDuck's Airport Design Editor" (ADE).

How is this exclusion done, as this is where I believe the problem lies; in the default scenery. How does one create and exclusion in an add-on?

Thanks Pete.

I've never made one, but I'm sure it must be possible with ScruffyDucks' ADE (Airport Design Editor). If all you want to do is remove or close runways and you know which BGL file they are defined in, then I believe it is pretty easy.

But I am not the one to teach scenery design work. Have a look at ADE. i think much of it is self explanatory and there's good help I think.
