Tauranga grass runway

A place to converse about the general aspects of flight simulation in New Zealand

Postby nzkingair » Mon Jun 09, 2014 11:05 am

Hi all,

I have a problem that has bugged me since FSX was released, and it now annoys me to the point of doing something about it.

My home airport is Tauranga - NZTG. The designations of the grass runway 07R and 25L are incorrect. and should be reversed! 07 Right should read as 07 Left --- and 25 Left should be 25 Right.

I thought that Orbx may have corrected this when they released NZNI but it hasn't happened.

I have been a hobbyist programmer for thirty years but, haven't a clue where to start other than I think it can be done with a .bgl file?

Can anybody help?

Cheers

Hi Warren from Ian Warren, you could create the specific runway using an AFCAD tool , AFX tool or a similar program, or you could buy and install RealNZ Tauranga , you then would really feel at home.

Yes, I can verify that RealNZTauranga fixes that problem for me. Just tried it with and without RNZTauranga present and now specifying 25R puts me on the grass.

Thanks guys -- got it fixed OK. Have turned off NZTG in NZNI and re installed RealNZTauranga
I had forgotten how good it is -- Have only been using NZNI and NZSI for quite some time
Cheers.
