RC Position Problem

Featured Replies

This problem just started. I had to do a fresh install RC after having run time error 9.  Now when ever i press the execute button after I've loaded my flight plan I end up in the water. Happens with all aircraft. Any suggestion?

Update to the latest versions of FSUIPC and MakeRunways. Update the database and try again. RC places you in the ocean (Lat 0, Lon 0) because it doesn't know the position of the airport you have chosen.

Was there not an option or setting to stop RC moving you? Just started using it again and it is moving me from parking to the airport centre... Quite annoying!

 Not very much info to go on. Any changes of scenery require MakeRunways to be run and the RC database updated. If RC is placing you in the wrong place the data it is using is wrong.

Have run that, will see if it makes a difference. Been a while since I have used it, and p3d for that matter!...

Make sure you use the latest version of MakeRunways. Available at Pete Dowson's site. http://forum.simflight.com/topic/66136-useful-additional-programs/

Also, if any of your P3D sceneries are loaded using the add-on.xml method now specified as the standard by Lockheed Martin, you need to run Lorby-SI's Addon Manager and use it to temporarily export the sceneries to a copy of the scenery.cfg that Makerunways can use for the database build.  If you don't do that, those sceneries will not be included in the resultant runways.csv file, and any addons that use the database created by Makerunways won't see them.

Good advice Bob. When asking for help it’s important people state which sim they’re using.
