There are obviously some errors, but the only 2 things I have tried to compile from the above, is a runway and a texture around it.Best regardsHenrik, Denmark

Hi Henrik,You can not have only a runway in your XML file, it must be part of an Airport command as well. As I assume that FsArchitect has made the XML file for you, something must have gone wrong there :). I am not a FsArchitect user myself, but have you setup an airport as well (probably need to provide an ICAO name etc)?

If the world should blow itself up, the last audible voice would be that of an expert saying it can't be done.

Thanks for your reply, Arno!I have found the error. It was something with the coordinates. Maybe I haven't typed it right in, or I had deleted an ", then I wrote the coordinates.I found an tutorial, and compared it with my own scenery, and da-da, it helped me :-)Best regardsHenrik

Hi Henrik.I keep getting that problem with FS Architect, i'm still trying to find my way around those errors.I have tried searching the net for tutorials, but i can't find anything.The manual and starter tutorial are really appalling.

Does your XML file include the Airport coding, e.g.?80.75" alt = "3.901440058136" magvar = "3.3" ident = "KXXX"> 80.759499999897" alt = "60.96"/> 80.749999833333" alt = "3.901440058136" surface = "CONCRETE" heading = "180.0" length = "3048.0" width = "76.0" number = "18" designator = "NONE" patternAltitude = "243.84" primaryTakeoff = "FALSE" primaryLanding = "FALSE" primaryPattern = "LEFT" secondaryTakeoff = "FALSE" secondaryLanding = "FALSE" secondaryPattern = "LEFT"> http://www.microsoft.com/games/flightsimul...wnloads_sdk.asp , download the BGL COMP SDK. The readme will show you the nesting required. I would think Architect would automatically add the airport lines. It may be you haven't defined the airport location within Architect.W. Sieffert
