Rex, According to Airnav's database ( http://www.airnav.com/airport/KSEE ) KSEE has runways 09L/27R, 09R/27L and 17/35. Like Martin said, there is no runway 28 anything at KSEE.
If you're running linux (or have a Cygwin console) from the FGRoot directory issue the command: zgrep -A3 KSEE Airports/apt.dat.gz On my system it looks like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/share/games/FlightGear$ zgrep -A3 KSEE Airports/apt.dat.gz 1 387 1 0 KSEE Gillespie Fld 10 32.827924 -116.972750 09L 102.15 5327 0.1306 0.0000 100 221331 01 0 2 0.25 1 10 32.823814 -116.972445 17x 179.62 4156 450.0687 0.0000 100 221221 01 0 1 0.25 0 10 32.826592 -116.971875 09R 102.12 2730 0.0000 0.0000 60 111111 01 0 2 0.25 1 There are the three runways available; 09L, 17, and 09R. Add 18 and swap R&L to get the other three numbers; 27R, 35, and 27L. 09L/27R is 5327 feet long and 100 feet wide, 17/35 is 4156 feet long and 100 feet wide, 09R/27L is 2730 feet long and 60 feet wide Flight gear must be started with both an airport and runway. Like this: fgfs --airport=KSEE --runway=27L If you just start it with an airport it will use the default runway which, as Martin said, is 28R at the default airport, KSFO.
