Hi everybody,

for all who haven't found out yet how to add a missing Airport with RWY's to the 757's Database here's the way:

First of all go to the FS\Captain_Sim\navigation Folder and find the Airports.db and Runways.db files.

1. Now open the Airports.db File with Notepad. You see a list of airports (the ICAO Codes in alphabetical order) with the following format:
Elevation;ICAO Code; Latitude; Longitude
Place your curser in the list according to the missing AP's ICAO Code (f.e. missing Airport LEPA is to be placed between LEOC and LEPP).
Now open up your Internet Browser and go to http://worldaerodata.com and insert the ICAO Code in the search field for your missing Airport. You can now copy all the according data over to your Airports.db file.
F.e. LEPA:
27;LEPA;39.551675;2.738808
When done save and close the file but keep the webside open.

2. Open the Runways.db with notepad. You now see the list of RWs of the following format:
ICAO-Code; Glideslope Angle; ILS Frequency; Latitude; Length; Longitude; Name (f.e. 31L); Heading.
In your Internet Browser go down the page to runways and click at the according link to get the Coordinates, Length, and Heading of your runways.
F.e. RWY 06L:
LEPA;3;110.9;39.547147;10728;2.710728;06L;59
Since the page doesn't show the GS-Angle and ILS Frequency I had to take them from Flightsim Commander (maybe somebody knows a better link for Airport data, incl. ILS  Undecided).

If everything went right your 757's CDU should now have LEPA (with at least RWY 06L) in its database.

Good luck and best regards,
Mike.

BTW the whole RWY part for LEPA:

LEPA;3;110.9;39.547147;10728;2.710728;06L;59
LEPA;3;109.9;39.562503;10728;2.743194;24R;239
LEPA;0;0;39.541256;10039;2.731739;06R;59
LEPA;3;109.3;39.555339;9842;2.761528;24L;239.

Hi,  Smiley


Here is an example for the data used with CS“s database:

You can edit it with a text editor.

On the Airports.db
48;LEPA;39.3310;2.73333  
Airport elevation - Airport OACI code;Coords

On the Runways.db
Each runway should have a line with informations as bellow :

LEPA;3;110.9;39.547147;10725;2.710728;06L;059
Airport OACI code;CAT type;ILS frequency;LONGITUDE;RWY HEIGHT;LATITUDE;RUNWAY NAME;RUNWAY COURSE

found that one in a older Database but with that line it is not conform
with CS`s database.

This is LEPA:
LEPA ; Palma De Mallorca       ; 06L/24R; 058/238; N39°33'17.37; E002°43'37.06; 00032; 10768; 148; 119.25

This is VHHX:
VHHX ; Hong Kong Intl (old)    ; 13 /31 ; 134/314; N22°18'52.65; E114°12'16.63; 00000; 10980; 200; 000.00

Maybe as an example to VHHX:
10;VHHX;22.18526;114.12166

but not shure for that......


As you see the older Base ( for example LEPA ) is not conform to the new one
but maybe you can come along with it !?

cheers

Hi Mario

Thanks for your reply,I have just cut/paste the airport.db from your post and now i can enter VHHX into FMC,but the runnway.db (This is VHHX:
VHHX ; Hong Kong Intl (old)    ; 13 /31 ; 134/314; N22°18'52.65; E114°12'16.63; 00000; 10980; 200; 000.00) does not look like this in the file it looks like your LEPA;3;110.9;39.547147;10725;2.710728;06L;059.

I would not be able to convert,could i please ask you to do it for me if you have the time,It would be much appriciated.

Mark

FMC Data updates using Navigraph

Hi,

I know we can get free FMC data update from planepath,but they are not as good as the once from Navigraph.Are/will you be talking to Navigraph about help them make AIRAC cycle+TP for your great aircraft.

I think it would be a great idea.And i am sure lots of other people do to.

I agree!

It would certainly make flying the cs757 a lot better!

yes balaban, the airport names are in the database.

I've just tried brussels but there are no sids and stars available. This is the same for Maastricht and Amsterdam.
