September 17, 201015 yr I have attempted to ILS flights to VTBS and each time I do not receive vectors to any of the ILS enabled runways. I use the Afcad provided by the author(s) and all looks in order when viewed in AFCAD and FS Navigator. I have updated the database twice with the same result. What other steps can I take to resolve this?ThanksDom

September 17, 201015 yr Make sure you have installed Makerwys version 4.41 from the FS9 section (it works for FSX too) or better from the link posted at the forum top into your FS folder. In your FS scenery library make sure VTBS is near the top (position 1) of the scenery list. If not move it and restart FS so it reindexes the scenery file list. Shut down FS and from within RC, run the scenery rebuild. Make sure you are running RC with a shortcut with a property set to run it as an admin if using VISTA or Win 7 so its process can copy files from your FS folder.Go into the data folder under RC and check the properties of r4.csv so the mod time is your latest run of the scenery rebuild. If you still have problems open r4.csv in Notepad (after making a secure copy) and search for VTBS. Fields are separated by commas. First is the ICAO followed by a comma. Following is the runway number as field two padded to three digits plus another digit indicating a property where more than one runway exists of the same number (standing for none, left, right, center). Proceed to the eighth field. If it is a zero then there is no ILS in the scenery database. I do not have VTBS installed but here's another VT WITHOUT a localizer or ILS:VTBT,0050,13.238933,100.955116,1,50.000,3031,0,98,-1.000,13.241660,100.958336,0,,which is VTBT, runway 50, no ILS/LOC (0).The complete field lineup is here:R4.CSV (RUNWAYS FILE for RCV4, until 4.3): ICAO, Rwy*, Latitude*, Longitude*, Altitude*, HeadingMag, Length*, ILSfreq*, Width*, MagVar, CentreLatitude, CentreLongitude, ThresholdOffset** Rwy is nnn for runway number, then 0, 1=L, 2=R, 3=C, 4=W (water)some fields may have been added at the end for other properties.See if this helps.

These are the entries in R4,csv:VTBS,0011,13.671838,100.734482,5,15.500,12139,0,197,-0.500,13.687919,100.738914,0VTBS,0012,13.657135,100.751457,5,15.500,13123,0,197,-0.500,13.674520,100.756248,0VTBS,0191,13.691904,100.761040,5,195.500,13123,110.50,197,-0.500,13.674520,100.756248,0VTBS,0192,13.704000,100.743347,5,195.500,12139,109.50,197,-0.500,13.687919,100.738914,0So it appears that the ILS frequencies are there.DomDom
September 18, 201015 yr Rwys 19L and 19R have localizers. Rwys 1L and 1R do not.You should be getting intercept vectors to the 19's but for the 1's you get into the pattern but not get vectors to final I believe, just cleared for a visual approach.http://thailand.vatthd.net/downloads.html?task=finish&cid=84&catid=14&m=0shows there should be ILS/LOC on the 1's. Why they are not showing in your scenery I do not know. You can use the freeware ADE9X to check your FSX and FS9 airport layout and navaids for both sims. It is available from:http://www.scruffyduck.org.uk/filemanager/navega.php?id=2&PHPSESSID=00bcd978f683b805807b833803f1aa9fincluding tutorials and the manual.In your FS9 or FSX folder there is a file called runways.txt. It is a huge log of what the makerwys utility called from within RC found. You'll find for an add-on two pairs of sections for each instance off an add-on besides a section for the default scenery. See the last pair in this file, the priority one, for what makerwys found. It will give the path to the scenery files used so maybe you have a conflicting file somewhere. In a two section pair the first section are deletions/exclusions and the second section is what is entered in the RC database.We'll go from there.
