I'm having issues with our taxiways since it's a grass field and they aren't really marked just 'known' :-) I've also not been able to successfully compile terragear yet but I'll keep trying. I've got a few more things to try before I will be asking for help. All the best, Matt ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

I have gunzipped the runways.dat file and found the following line for EGNF: R EGNF 06 53.316990 -1.196100 60.00 1476 118 NAVNN 00 0 0 The AIP shows clearly the missing runway: http://www.matthewlaw.plus.com/EGNF.gif I'm assuming that I just add a new line under this with the correct values. What are the fields? I'm guessing at some here: ICAO ID, HEADING, LAT, LON, WIDTH, LENGTH... If these are correct, I make the width and length a little wrong. The easiest way to do this (and the method I used for Sherburn, and Newton) is to load up Taxidraw, and drop in a taxiway to represent the runway you want to add, get the size, position, and alignment correct, save the airfield, then edit the twy file to convert the taxiway to a runway. -- Jon Stockill [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
