How to update airport in Pilot2ATC

Featured Replies

HI,
I have been using Pilot2ATC v2 for both msfs2020 and Xplane 12.  I must say it is an excellent ATC and flight planning software.

I have the VHHH - Hong Kong International Airport (from Taimodels) which has been updated to a 3-runway operation, however in Pilot2atc I can only see 2 runways instead of 3.
Wonder if it is possible to update the airport information in pilot2atc. 
Many thanks.

Hello Dave,
Thanks for your advice.
By following the instructions in the manual, I was able to import the taxiways in X-plane 12 successfully.
Unfortunately, I still could not get the new runway.
Further advice would be most appreciated.

Some 3rd party airport designers provide the visible scenery without providing the data needed to import the taxiways.  P2A looks for lines in the airport.dat file that start with 1201, 1202, 1204.  If these lines are not in the .dat file, then P2A won't be able to import them properly.

But since the import "succeeded" it sounds like you imported the original airport definition from X-Plane rather than the new 3rd party one.  Make sure your sceneries.ini file is defined correctly so that the Taimodels .dat file is used for that airport.
