• 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.

Hello, i installed the LatinVFR MGGT in P3dv4 and worked flawlesly, just the frequency of the VOR and the runway numbers were not updated, i used the ADE to change those two things and worked but P3d recognized the runway 02/20 and the VOR 114.9 the only issue is that the runway numbers are 01/19, didnt change.

So I hope some can help me with that.

Thanks

Fer
 
Didn't change where? How did you change the runway number
 
Hello Scruffyduck here is what i made, the change was done in the edit menu of the runway where it says primary it was 01 i changed to 02, and as you can see on the following pictures P3d recognizes the change but in the sim it has the same old numbers.

To be honest I don't have any idea why that is happening
 
Can we be sure that the newly compiled version of your ADE file has been placed in the correct P3D sim scenery folder?
 
Hello, sure i used the file in the picture, compiled it, and put it again in the same folder

I assume the addon authors are using a ground polygon for the runway texture. You would have to find that texture and edit it so it reads 2/20.
 
hello, Thanks and where can i find the poligons? i just found this textures.

I don't know of a way to edit existing polygons. You could try changing the one on the runway1 texture to a 2 (backup first), but if that 1 is used elsewhere then you can't do that. Or it could be the 1 in the runway3 texture - same thing applies.
 
and how can i do that i used the imagetook on the sdk folder of p3d, but there is no way to change it with paint, do you know how it can be done??
 
Are you talking about using MS Paint? Once you convert the FS bitmap to 24 bit format with Imagetool you should then be able to use Paint to copy the 2 and paste it over the 1. Save it. Then use Imagetool to convert it back to its original format.
 
Hello, thanks to all for your help , i managed to fix this issue following the instructions of tgibson, is not perfect but at least it has the correnct numbers.
