Yes, I understand that. My vision was the flag would be set before genapts is ran. Or are all airports generated at a single pass? If that's the case perhaps genapts should use the literal runway number from apt.dat, and apt.dat can be edited to replace the leading zero with a space on US GA

I think I may have found the problem with the Center Runway texture not showing, but I'm not at all confident with my C++ skills, so someone will have to fix TerraGear for me. However, I've found this code in /terragear-cs/src/airports/GenAirports/rwy_*.cxx: int len =

Looks reasonable to me. Are you actually building these airports? The attached patch is untested... Ron No, I'm not currently in the process of building any airports - though I am generating shapefiles to be used in the default scenery, and Seattle is in the area I'm currently working on
