MakeRunways 4.37 available with an extra facility

hi folks,I've added a new facility to the MakeRunways program. This is to produce an optional file listing all the Gates for a specific airline. To obtain this for your preferred airline, run MakeRwys.exe with a command line parameter such as (e.g.) /BAWfor the airline code BAW (British Airways). The gates are listed in sorted order of Airport, but not of Gate name or number -- the Gates are in their scenery file order. The file produced will be an ordinary text file named <airline code> Gates.txt. e.g. BAW Gates.txtin the above case. MakeRunways Version 4.37 can be obtained now from my Support forum updates announcementhttp://forums.simflight.com/viewtopic.php?...=457087#p457087RegardsPete

This is great stuff, thank you for this. So pretty much this will allow me to see all the United gates at every airport around the world? That is if a custom AFCAD file is in use, correct?

Yes, assuming as you say there's a custom AFD BGL provided for the airport which defines the gate usage according to airlines. I made it for my use with BAW as the airline initially, but decided to generalise it for all those other (lesser) airlines! <G D & R>RegardsPete

Pete, I'm confused, I really like this idea but I'm not sure I follow how to obtain this file from your eg. "To obtain this for your preferred airline, run MakeRwys.exe with a command line parameter such as (e.g.)/BAW"Do I go to windows START, makerwys.exe and run the program? Not sure how to generate the gate listing. I do not get a file for the gates when I simply run makerwys.exe.Regards,Tom

If you run it from "start" you'd need to typeMakerwys.exe /BAWelse how would it get the /BAW parameter?Easier, just make a shortcut to MakeRunways, the edit the shortcut to add /BAW after the "Makerwys.exe" part. Leave a space. Then that shortcut runs MakeRwys with /BAW as the command line option.Pete
