Can someone move a runway for me?

Featured Replies

I am going to place scenery at the Fort Worth Airport (KFTW), but the 6/27 runway is in the wrong place. Can someone move this runway or tell me how to do it?You can find an airport diagram at:http://www.naco.faa.gov/content/naco/onlin...ams/00159AD.pdf

Hi Wayne :-) I cant help you here, I have tried a few times now but never got the runway were I wanted it. Usually it ended off a few feet away from were I wanted it. If you get to find out how to do it could you please let me know. Cheers mate.Steve.http://mysite.freeserve.com/fly2theuk/aragon.jpg][/divTHERE'S A BIG WAVE COMING!Whats New!http://mysite.freeserve.com/fly2theuk/fly2theuk/whatsnew.htmMy United Kingdom Scenery.http://library.avsim.net/search.php?CatID=...&Go=Change+Viewhttp://mysite.freeserve.com/fly2theuk/avsim/bart.htm

HI Steve, I thought I read somewhere that you were going camping? Do you have a computer with you and did you take a TV also?I know it can be done (moving a runway) as I have read it some place. Hoping someone will do it for me, if not I will work with what I have.

Wayne,The KFTW airport has already been rendered by Allen Kriesman - he also included a fix file for the bad runway with his scenery and his program RWYFIX.EXE to run the fix with the package. As you can see from the links below, the scenery is well done, but his runway fix didn't work for me.Because the runway is still wrong (in fact, the other runways are also a little off, which you can see by the misalignment of the taxiways), I was going to move the runway(s) in a more traditional manner - edit the runway database and create a DEX file. Since Allen already made this scenery, do you want to try his fix, or would you like me to upload a DEX file as an option?

I've reset and updated all the runways to their current positions and identifications and produced a DEX file for the updates - here's 9/27 in proper position:

The link below is a shot over the new 34. The new FAA runway designations for KFTW are:--16/34--17/35--09/27Should I upload the DEX, or do you want to try Allen's fix? BTW, Allen made several Texas airports...I would check the library for his stuff before making other texas scenery (though I'm sure he left plenty for you). :-)

Thanks Randall, I did not find the airport in the Scenery directory, will have to check terrascene library.Upload the DEX file if you would.
