ontheair Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 "Navdata 07C and 25C rwys could not be assigned to FSX rwys" Fine, but what is the correct rwys assignment for EDDF ? Navdata rwys (where has gone rwy 36 that is missing ??)

GG_Flyer Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Maybe runway 36 is closed for early Oktoberfest celebrations and everyone is expected to use runway 18? That's interesting what you have there. 25R/7L should be the same. The others would be gueses... but can runawy 18 be active without 36? That's a new one... and it's in airac 1107 as well....

trisager Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Runway 07L/25R have been renamed 07C/25C (a new runway is under construction to the north-west of the current airport). You can fix the issue with the scenery by adding the following lines to the Runways.txt file in the Documents\AivlaSoft\EFB\UserData folder: EDDF 07L 07C EDDF 25R 25C EDDF 18 18 EDDF 07R 07R EDDF 25L 25L Runway 36 is not in use.

ontheair Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 Thanks Travis & Tom ! EDDF rwys assignement from Tom : EDDF 07L 07C EDDF 25R 25C EDDF 18 18 EDDF 07R 07R EDDF 25L 25L after I've applied the above assignements I still have two rwys that overlap : 07R-25L and 08R-26L ??????? rwy 36 is not in use. Fine ! Is it important or not to always define ALL runways from an airport, whether they have changed or not ??? "Maybe runway 36 is closed for early Oktoberfest celebrations and everyone is expected to use runway 18?" Interesting hypothesis that could have make sense....

trisager Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 What scenery do you have installed for EDDF? FSX Default? Thanks Travis & Tom !"it is important to always define ALL runways from an airport, whether they have changed or not " "Runway 36" only exists in the sense that it is the opposite end of rwy 18 Take a look at it in Google Earth and you can see that it has none of the threshold markers, numbers, touchdown zone markers, or tyre marks that you find on a runway that is in use. Runway 18 is only used for southbound departures, not landings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ontheair Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 "What scenery do you have installed for EDDF? FSX Default?" FSX default I did not write what you quote. Let me remind you what I wrote : "Is it important or not to always define ALL runways from an airport, whether they have changed or not ???" and it's related to an EFB recommandation located at the beginning of the rwys.txt file Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisager Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I did not write what you quote. You most definitely did - I sincerely hope you are not accusing me of "doctoring" that quote? Maybe I was responding while you were still editing your post. When I load the default FSX EDDF, I cannot see all the eight runways that you mentioned in your original post - 07L 25R 18 36 26L 08R 07R 25L - hence the question about scenery. The ones I see in the "Choose runway/starting position" are 18, 25L, 25R, 36, 7L, 7R which correspond to the three physical runways at the airport. Maybe someone else can compare with their FSX installation. I have not seen any ill effects from leaving out rwy 36 from "Runways.txt", but for completeness you can add EDDF 36 36 / Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ontheair Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 "When I load the default FSX EDDF, I cannot see all the eight runways that you mentioned in your original post" From the FSX map I can see 6 rwys : 07L-25R 13099' 18 13123' 26L 8202' 07R-25L 13102' From EFB I can see 8 rwys (data source : FSX/Scenery/0601/scenery/APX50140.bgl) 07C-25C 13100' 18-36 13100' 26L-08R 8200' 07R-25L 13100' with rwys 08R-26L and 07R-25L overlapping. EFB is also providing an ILSDME apch for rwy 26L IFWL 111.35 CAT I IMHO, this is rather confusing .... My current rwys assignment is the following one : EDDF 07L 07C EDDF 25R 25C EDDF 18 18 EDDF 26L 26L EDDF 07R 07R EDDF 25L 25L Have we got the same FSX ? Does it really matter ? mine is the gold edition version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
