To be sure I did not ask a question already asked I copied and followed the tutorial posted in the FAQ by oleandreason to be sure I did everything correctly. When I import the  NONILS data there is no errors and the computer does this very fast. Is there another way to get this done?

Fryman

If you have commas for decimal places in your language settings this may be the reason. We have published a fix for this - it has affected only 1 user so far, but I recommend, if you do not have standard US or UK English for your Windows settings, that you download and install the latest version of FSFS2009 from our web site and then  use that to generate the runway data.

Note that the data is not stored in the NonILS folder as 50,000+ files. It is stored in a single file.

Let us know how you get on.

In the flight plan screen the lats and Lons for the two airports are showing. Right beside the Flight parameters box above the box for "Generate Runway data for FRX & quit FSFS" The message is in Red FSFS2009 runways data not present. This is after I already have pushed the same button under settings. The box " Generate runway data for FSX" is grayed out

I am running Vista Ultimate. Do you have any suggestions.?

1. Did you download the latest version of FSFS2009 from our own web site?

2. Does your Windows system represent decimal points with commas "," or with periods "."

3. Please tell FSFS2009 to create the runway data again from the Settings page and watch what happens. It should take a few minutes to run the MakeRunways program and then take about 30 seconds or so to run a second program. Is this what you see - or is it different?

1. I down loaded the Demo from your site. Today I did the following:
1. deleted the down loaded FSFS 2009 file.
2. Uninstalled FSFS as administrator. The file folder for FSFS was removed in the uninstall.
3. Re-downloaded the Demo file from your site. Version 2.0.0.24
4. Installed as administrator.
5. Note I did not have to put in my registration data again.
6. Started FSX, Loaded Carenado Cherokee and Flight plan from CCR3 to CYFC
7. Started FSFS, connected to FSX.
8. Loaded flight plan from CCR3 to CYFC.
9. Loaded runway data from Settings screen. No runway data was loaded. I also did this from the flight plan screen rebouted and did it all again with the same result.
2. Changed keyboard and language settings to US and US English. Commas are used in Europe and I do not use them here.
3. When I create the runway data the Screen to do this flashes, only once, for no more than one second and then closes. No data is down loaded.

We can do this outside of FSFS by logging in as an administrator and going to the

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X

folder in Windows Explorer.

From here we need to run this program

MakeRwys.exe (the file extension may be hidden on your PC - just make sure it is a program)

and then run this program

FSFSRWYS.EXE

which should end in the creation of the file

FSFSRWYS.TXT

in the same folder.  

That file contains all the runway data - drawn from FSX - for FSFS20009.

Can you try this and let me know what happens?

They are copied into

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X

when they are invoked from the FSFS program. As you have reported, this did not succeed on the PC in question.

So - please just copy both of them into

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X

and then run them from there. This should work fine and the FSX runway data should be found and prepared (transformed) for FSFS2009.

Let us know how you get on.

Thanks you very much for the help and perhaps you can take a look at the install program to see why the files were not moved. I run Vista and always execute installs as administer to avoid problems.

Again thanks.
