I've just had to re-install FS2004 after a problem and this also involved re-installing RC v4.3.While rebuilding the scenery DB I noticed two things:- 1. After the initial build-up of number of airports & runways the figures remained static, while going through the Ultimate Terrain and FS Global files,at 23760 airports and 53329 runways. Then, when it got to the AFCAD files the number of runways increased far more than the number of airports ending at 23897 and 56942.2. The number of airports is significantly less than the 26,700 I had when running this previously.Are these observations anything unusual?ThanksIain Smith

First, make sure you have installed the latest makerwys.exe in your FS9 folder. It is available here:http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.htmlWith some criteria changes and the way airports are now counted, the displayed airport count is lower than with much earlier versions. Makerwys follows the order in your FS scenery.cfg so if you have added scenery make sure you have started FS to reindex the scenery (then close it) so makerwys will catch it.FS Global and Ultimate Terrain do not include airport scenery properties as such used by RC (runway, parking, and taxipath data nor navaids) so the count will not increase as these files are looked at.

In fact with the one installed with v4.3 the runway count reached over 60,000. The latest version ended with the lower figure I quoted.>>With some criteria changes and the way airports are now>counted, the displayed airport count is lower than with much>earlier versions.
