August 5, 201114 yr I have been using RC4 now for years and have noticed that in my London City X and Maderia, RC does not see them on my departureor arrival list. I am almost positive it worked before, or maybe it was on fs9. I only use FSX now and have updated all my paywareairports and aircraft. So as far as I can tell these are the only 2 airports that dont work in RC. Strange.. Thx Rick..
August 5, 201114 yr Commercial Member did you click "rebuild rc scenery database" after adding these third party sceneries? jd JD Read my blog
August 5, 201114 yr After reinstalling RC for FSX did you update FSUIPC and makerys.exe as noted i the pinned link. After updating makeryws be sure from within RC you rebuild the scenery database and if needed for a network (WideFS) setup where RC is not on the FS host be sure to run makerwys.exe first in the FS folder followed by the scenery rebuild from within RC. Also be sure you put in the correct paths now for FSX. If RC is installed for both sims it is easy to get confused and start the wrong RC or put in the incorrect path to FS from habit. If both sims are installed and the RC data was built from the wring path your ai and user aircraft position will not be correct for the scenery installation such as taxiway holding points and runway line-ups.
August 5, 201114 yr Author Yes indeed. I always run the rc update every time i install a scenery. I do not have fs9 anymore and I am on a fresh win7 64 install.Well fresh from maybe two months now. Im, not on a wide db either, but all fsx stuff is in my d drive, including rc4 and FSC. But like Isaid it is only the two airports. Could it be a afcad thing.... Rick
August 6, 201114 yr The current version of makerwys.exe today is 4.46 from http://forum.simflig...ional-programs/ (and for FSX FSUIPC is 4.719 from http://forum.simflig...pdated-modules/ ) makerwys from 4.41 onward fixed some scenery priority issues especially when an afd type file is included in the same folder as the add-on scenery. To see how makerwys treated EGLC open in word or wordpad (not notepad) the file runways.txt in your FSX folder. This is a log of what makerwys processed. Search for EGLC. Generally for any airport the first section will be the default listing runways, taxiways, etc. For all add-ons each one should have a section pair. The first section of a pair regards deletions and the second section would be the inserted runways with any approach nav equipment, taxiway information, parking, and all node coordinates. Therefore for EGLC's last sections (later has more priority) you would first see deletions for all EGLC afd data followed by EGLG afd data used to crearte the r5.csv database file (copied by the rcv4 rebuild utility to the data folder in rcv4\data as r4.csv and processed to create a4.csv). Same for Maderia. Note that each section shows the path to the afd type file used including the default APxxxx.bgl file. If there is some rogue file out of place the path will show it. You can with word or notepad, not Excell, examine r4.csv and a4.csv searching for the airports in question. Now you mention a departure and arrival list in RC. Are you talking about the controller page? I'm not sure what list you are referring to. All you do in RC is load the plan and the plan is shown in the rc route box. If you are talking about an aircraft FMC terminal database or flight planner database, RC has nothing to do with those. All it does is use data from your installed scenery and your flight planner. Please clarify and respond after checking those .csv data files.
