RC moving my aircraft and no text block from FSUIPC

Featured Replies

Rather than retype everything the information below is copied from another thread on how to check the RC data was properly gathered and what runways.txt (a log of operations created by makerwys.exe when run by RC.:

 

-----------------------

First we will insure that the data files between FS and RC transferred Ok. In your FS folder look for r5.csv. Get the date-time of modification and size by right clicking on it. Now go to your rcv4\data folder and right click of r4.csv (a copy of r5.csv) whicjh should almost have the same date-time stamp and be the same size. If that is OK then go back to your FS folder and use word or wordpad to open runways.txt, a huge log file.

 

Search for your airport of interest such as "Airport KMCO" (without quotes). The first encounter will be the default KMCO and you'll see a path in the head of that section to the default folder and file used for the data. The file name will start with AP followed by a few numbers.

 

For each scenery add-on (including afcad types) there will be two sections to the same path, not necessarily together. We'll cal this a section pair. The first section regards deletions and the second has runway data and other information. If you have an add-on for KMCO continue to search for Airport KMCO. The last section pair you find in runways.txt has priority (as established by your library setup recorded in scenery.cfg) has priority and that furnishes the data to RC in r5.csv.

 

See if that last entry section pair points correctly to any add-on scenery. Again, make sure your makerwys.exe is current and you provided a correct path to your FS folder.

 

---------------------------------

 

Now go into your FS folder and open runways.txt in word or wordpad, not notepad, as it is a huge text file. Search for a problem California airport using its ICAO code instead of KMCO in the example below. Continue the search checking each hit as described until you get no more. The last section pair of deletions and additions has priority in the data going to RC.

 

-----------------------------------

Here is what needs to be checked that I've highlighted. This is for the default KMCO:

Note that the path to the add-on scenery both sections is the same. In your system, does this path-filename point to your KMCO add-on? It gets this info from your scenery.cfg as managed by your FS library setup. The last pair of sections (deletions followed by the additions) gets priority in creating the runway file r5.csv.

 

Now I did not quite understand your last post. It looked like an unfinished file too long for notepad. You need word or wordpad.

 

Are you sure you updated to makerwys version 4612 and then ran the scenery rebuild?

fsuipc.simflight.com/beta/MakeRunways_4612.zip is the direct link to today's version.

 

To see if the data copied go into your fs folder and find r5.csv, right click, and get the date-time modified and the size. Then get the same properties for r4.csv in your RCv4\data folder. The time should be close and the size the same.

 

------------------------------

 

Be sure the departure airport in your flight plan sent to RC matches the departure airport where you parked your aircraft in FS. If using FSBuild remember the steps are (optional auto generate), then set up the export chioices, and then build to export and place the plan file into the correct folder to load into RC.

I rebuilt the scenery files in RC again this morning and for the first time the program seems to be running correctly---now my only test flight problem seems to be the fact that the Command autopilot in the PMDG 737NGX--700 series will not engage untill I pass about 10 thousand feet---but of course this is a whole new issue for a different forum

 

Cheers
