SIMstarterNG: Some Airports are not showing in Google Earth

willow2111 · December 4, 2018

Hi together,

I made about 30 small airports with ADE 175. They are all shown in fsx and in the runwaysNG.xml from SIMstarter NG too. When I export the airports to Google Earth with SIMstarter NG two airports will not shown there. I don´t know the reason.

The Airports AY01 and AY02 are not shown in Google Earth. All the others AY3, AY4... and so on are O.K.

Can you help me please? Please excuse my bad English. I hope someone has a idea to help me.

Greetings and Thankyou for helping.

Hi,

looks like MakeRwys does not find a runway. You see AY01 and AY04 - right?

Hi Peter,

thanks for your answer. AY01 ist not showing in google earth, AY02 is allso not showing. AY03, AY04, Ay05, AY06 works fine. Im not able to find out what is the difference between AY01 / AY02 and all the other airports.

All Runways are shown in the fsx map and in the runwaysNG.xml file.

I hope you have an idea.

Hi Willow,

no idea so far. But I will try to have a look on this issue soon.

Can you please provide these files in addition:

runways.txt
runways.xml

from your Sim Main directory. Maybe as a download link because they can be very big.

Hi Willow,

I am very sorry but I have no idea why this happens.

When I look into "Runways Short.txt" I find that AY01 - AY03 have no <RUNWAY></RUNWAY> entry as AY04 have it. But I am not a scenery expert just reading the file. SIMstarter NG needs the related information for the starting position.

See the difference:

Hallo Peter,

thank you very much for helping me. What you say is right. I can see AY 01, AY02 and AY 03 on the fsx-map. And AY03 is shown in Google earth.

But is it o.k. now. Please do not waste your time. 55 of my homemade airports are shown in Google earth. Only 5 airport are not working. I will made their kml-settings by hand in Google earth. It not a big Problem.

Thank you again for your very friendly support. I wish you a good new year.

Willow
