I'm slowly reinstalling CFS2. I need to deal with the runway entries in the Airbase data file. The entries for the Maskrider runways (PNG or the Phillipines, for example) do not contain placeholders for the runway numbers or id numbers, i.e. "[runway xxx]" or "id=xxxx". Do I have to type in each entry or is there some easier method?

I have the "Add-Runways" utility, but will this work without the placeholders?

Alternatively, even with those runway entries which do have placehoders for the runway entries and identification numbers, once I run the Add-Runways utility (which numbers the runways consecutively), do I need to manually type in the ID numbers in order to have the airbases appear on the CFS2 inflight map?

Thanks.

Dang, I think I would just copy and paste the Maskrider entries into the data file and then manually add the id numbers. I am sure if there is a better way, one of the guys will tell ya. It was not that long ago that I typed the runway entries totally by hand (yes, I was that inexperienced) Welcome back!

Rami has a master PTO list. I thought he posted it. If not Jagd, has one in his mega patch upload. HERE: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=13484

Thanks so much. The MB Megapack saved an enormous amount of time and effort. I didn't even know it existed.
