MakeRwys command line options

[JoeFremont]

I was wondering what the command line startup options are for MakeRwys.exe

I am playing with the MS2024 beta and found where the airport/scenery files are and would like to ask MakeRwys to scan all the *.BGL files contained in that folder (and sub folders) and was wondering if there was a way to do that.  I tried coping the MakeRwys.exe file into the base of the content folder but it still starts scanning the FS2020 files when I open the program.

I know MS2024 is not a released product yet so it may not be possible, thanks in advance.

The command line options are documented in the MakeRwys README.pdf.

No, there is currently no way to do that. MakeRwys will need to be updated to work with MSFS2024. However, MakeRunwys is no longer supported, now that Pete has retired.
I do not know much about MakeRunwys unfortunately, as Pete has always maintained this. I may take a look after MSFS2024 has been released, and I have updated FSUIPC7, but cannot guarantee this.

However, the source of MakeRwys is available if you, or anyone else would like to update this for MSFS2024:
