Vassilii, as far as I know the X-Plane format does not support waterways at conventional airports but it does support "seaplane bases" (record type 16) with water runways. Example taken from the FG CVS airport data : 16 1326 0 0 5CA9 Konocti - Clear Lake 10 38.977675 -122.717766 12x 120.00 3000 0.0000 0.0000 500 111111 13 0 0 0.25 0 18 38.980050 -122.716002 2 Light beacon I do not know of many mixed airports - Honolulu must be one of very few airports that has both hard surfaced and water runways.
