• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FS2004 No Runway Starts Required

Hi all,

I have an ADE9 file of KPDX (1960 version) that has lost some of its runway starts over the years. I want to add activate runway 10L/29R again, so I tried to add some runway starts to it. I got the message "No runway starts required".

Here is the list of runways:

and the list of Starts:

My question is there anything I can do to convince ADE to let me add a start location?

I've attached the AD4 file to this message.

Thanks,

Hi Tom,

Try opening the runway and then add the Starts.

ADE sees no need to add Starts to closed runways.

cheers,
Lane
 
Lane is correct. However if you don't want to open it then you could use Add > Other Start and manually select Runway type and set the runway etc
 
While that runway was indeed closed to takeoffs and landings, changing that made no difference. I went into Raw Data View and found two "named" starts. I deleted those and then I could add starts wherever I wanted.

Thanks,
 
Hmm - I was able to add starts after opening the runway. Main thing is you fixed it Tom :)
