September 23, 200322 yr jd, I am using Shez Ansari's Cleveland Hopkins KCLE scenery in FS9. I've noticed that RC3.1 tells me to taxi to r/w 5R a lot. The runways at Hopkins have been redesignated 6L/R - 24L/R with the old 5L-23R being used as a holding pad. I noticed that in r.txt the runways are still designated as 5L-23R and 5R-23L. I changed these to 6R-24L and 6L-24R. Current runways at KCLE should be: KCLE,6017,150,10,99,0 KCLE,8999,150,24L,237,109.9 KCLE,6800,150,24R,237,111.55 KCLE,6017,150,28,279,110.7 KCLE,6800,150,6L,57,111.55 KCLE,8999,150,6R,57,111.9 I believe that the 4th number should be the runway heading correct? I've changed these to match the heading in FS9. I noticed that most of the headings in r.txt are off by as much as 5 degrees. Example is KIAH where in FS9 (and 2002) r/w 15L is 147 degrees but is shown as 152 degrees. I am assuming that the first number is the runway length, the 2nd the width, the 3rd the runway designation, the 4th the heading (???) and the 5th the ILS freq. Am I off in my thinking here? Thanks,Steve
September 23, 200322 yr Commercial Member right on. the reason for the difference in headings are magnetic variationbut for rcv3.1 i use the runways.csv file, not r.txt :-)jd JD Read my blog
September 23, 200322 yr Author Oops. Didn't think about the .csv file. Are the readings in your files true heading vs magnetic on the Jepp sheets? (or do I have that backward?)
September 23, 200322 yr Commercial Member invariably i will say the wrong thing :-)i'm guessing :-) that the headings are magnetic, since they are the true heading +/- the magnetic variationjd JD Read my blog
