MakeRunways for MSFS 2020 Beta

[Dave-Pilot2ATC 870]

Pete Dowson has released a beta of MakeRunways for MSFS2020.

MakeRunways Beta version 5.00 for MSFS

This will allow you to create the files needed to import Taxiways and Gates from MSFS.

Pete could benefit from feedback from DVD install users, and those with lots of Addon airports or anyone experiencing issues.  

THANKS Pete!!

So I can use this tool to get real taxiways instructions from P2A when flying FS2020 ?

[Pete Dowson 558]

Taxiways were being generated with bad coordinates in MakeRunways Beta2. Please make sure you use Beta3, released this morning.

But when I try to import all the scenery that generated with Makerunways I don't have option to choose FS2020 in P2A 2.6.1.3..

How can I do this ?

[Dave-Pilot2ATC 870]

Check the type of import as P3D.

Point the P3D folder name in TaxiMnt to the folder where you have the MakeRwys files from MSFS.

Import the taxiways and Gates.

After it finishes scanning and creating all the necessary files, what is the next step to get it into Pilot2ATC?

Go to the Taxi Mnt screen and perform the above.  See P2A User's Guide for details.

It pops up a window saying it can't locate Prepar3D.exe? I'm using MSFS 2020 though. Do I just ignore it and just go to the next step?

[Dave-Pilot2ATC 870]

Yes, just ignore that message and continue.  When it asks if you want to run MakeRunways again, say NO.

With this tool is it possible to include in Pilot2ATC airports that exists in MSFS2020 but are not in the AIRAC database ?

[Dave-Pilot2ATC 870]

No.  There is no way to add new airports.  However, if they have runways or taxiways defined in MakeRunways, they will be imported when you do the import All Taxiways.

They won't have any frequencies associated with them as P2A gets all its frequency and ATC data from AIRAC files, but they should be available for flight planning purposes.

I've received a report of strange taxiways drawn across the airport. So far this has only been reported with MSFS default Atlanta (KATL). However, it is a puzzle as the data extracted looks correct in that it matches what is there. Currently I'm suspecting an error in the MSFS scenery file for KATL. But investigations continue.

Have any P2A + MSFS users here come across P2A taxiways drawn weirdly?  We need to know if this is general or just specific to that one airport or BGL file. We would be especially interested in an occurrence in a smaller airport -- KATL has several thousand taxiway points and is rather a nightmare to check 'by hand'.

I've just checked the T5.csv file. Seems that LFPG is omitted, which is very odd since the Taxiway data is all recorded, as shown in the log (Runways.txt).

I'll check this, see what is going on. Thanks for the report.
