ATT and water runways –

Quite a few of my scenery packs have airports with both land and water runways such as Juneau and Ketchikan Alaska for example. I’m in the process of creating custom ATC plans for them but I’ve noticed that most of the time, the land based aircraft try to taxi to the water runway.

Is there any way to tell the ATC engine to ignore water runways? FWIW, my plans DO NOT provide taxi routing or runway routing for the water runways.

If this is a bug, I’ll file a bug report. If this is a “Missing feature”, then I feel it is important enough to address it in a quick patch.

Thanks.

In reply to Tom Curtis. The rivers need to be areas.

I’ve spent quite a bit of time the past few days working on adding lakes in Southeast Alaska. Once you get going, things progress at a fairly fgood pace, but I have a question regarding placing rivers in OSM.
Rivers can be drawn as a line, and then designate the line as a river, stream etc…. Will your algorithms read these lines as water and then cut them into the dsf? or do we need to actually draw the banks of the river/stream and designate the body of water a lake?

I really like that you guys have invested some time in making the sim more approachable to novice flight simmers like myself. I find the 3D cockpit mode very usable with a mouse, letting me easily switch between using the mouse as a joystick and as a means to change where my avatar is looking. I also like the quick scenario set up menu that appears at the beginning. My biggest gripe with previous versions was the lack of a simple interface like this.

I hope that you continue spending effort towards polishing the interface. It makes the experience that much better.

In reply to rogertux. I think we're still a little behind on Linux performance because pinned memory isn't working. I don't know if or when this will be fixed; it may depend on ATI.

What about the low fps because of the clouds and ati?(I’m in linux, I don’t know if this affects Windows too)

In reply to Lozz.

Yeah – I think there was an import bug too – I just don’t know what happened.

A recut isn’t “scheduled” at all. It’s something we want to do, and will get to after we get 64-bit out the door.
