Santiago SCEL

Featured Replies

I am planning a flight from Santiago (Chile) SCEL to Madrid Barajas (LEMD) through FSBuild.When I take clearence for take off the ATC assigns me to runway 17 but does not clarify whether it is 17L or 17R.I am using latest navdata, the LatinVFR SCEL airport and have rebuilt scenery DB.Any ideas why is this happening?

First, be sure you are using the current version of makerwys.exe in your FS folder. It is available here: http://forum.simflight.com/topic/66136-useful-additional-programs/ After installing it rebuild your scenery database again from within RC. If it is on the same PC with FS you should see it start executing from within RC. If you do let it finish and OK the boxes that pop-up. Close RC. Go into your FS scenery folder. Check the properties modification of r5.csv and the modified date should be the date-time of the scenery rebuild you just did. If that is OK then right click on r5.csv and open it with word or wordpad, not the suggested Excel or other spreadsheet application. Search for SCEL. If 17L and 17L are in your scenery and were pulled from it into RC's database then you should see 0171 (for 17L) and 072 (for 17R) in the SCEL list. Default in FS9 is just 0170 and its reciprocal. If it is not their then in your FS folder is a file called runways.txt. Right click on that and open it in Word (it is huge). That is a log of the data extraction process. Search for SCEL. You will find a section first for the default. Move your cursor past that section. Search again for SCEL. You should come upon a section pair consisting of deletions followed by another section of the runways, taxiways, etc. At the beginning of that section you'll se a path to the installed scenery for that add-on. See if that points the the Latin VFR scenery. Examine that second section to see if that runway pair is in there. If it is, move your cursor past the second section and do another search for SCEL. If you come upon another add-in note the path to what it is. In the second section of that pair see what the runway listings are and note the file paths.. The last add-on pair in runways.txt for SCEL has priority. If the path is not to the afd file of LatinVFR's scenery than you have the priority out of order or there is a higher priority afd type file which is causing a conflict. It is the last add-on section for any SCEL afd (like AFCAD) file that gets into r5.csv used for RC's airport information. Some traffic add-ons install afd/afcad/AFX type files that could be conflicting.
