Airport Runway Information

[777Driver]

Hi,

When updating the FSiPanel database, what is being read by the program?

1. If I have multiple add-ons (only 1 is active), which one's information is being used?
2. In which directories would FSiPanel look at? How about add-ons that are outside of P3D main folder?

Many thanks!

Hi,

FSiPanel is using MakeRwys to get all the runways information.
It will grab the data from the BGL files installed and active in P3D configuration.

A few questions...

1. Is there a way to look at what data is retrieved from Makerwy for a specific airport? Say accessing the custom airport database from Excel for an SQL queries?

2. How does FSiPanel determine the landing centerline and distance? Particularly regarding displaced thresholds. I discovered that some addon developers simply ignore displaced thresholds in the data while visually they developed the runway with displaced thresholds.

I constantly get a few meters off centerline while I am visually on centerline. I am wondering either the information in FSiPanel is not the addon I am using, or the visual runway and the actual runway data in the adddon is different.

I would like to have a method to verify otherwise the only truly data would be the landing ROD. Sorry for being paranoid but a good training requires accurate feedbacks from the simulation. Otherwise negative training would occur.

Much appreciated.

Hi,

Yes, you can check the information from the file produced by MakeRwys in your P3D directory.
The data are coming from runways.xml and runways.csv

2: FSiPanel takes into account the displaced threshold for the landing distance calculation.

Awesome, I would have a look on those files.

Thanks!
