• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSXA Airport Runway placement accuracy

I am using ADE9X to redo CYQQ. I have the latest Airport diagram from NAVCANADA loaded as a background in ADE. The runways have lengths and headings. I have added the variations and 12/30 lines up to backgrond nicely, but 18/36 is off a bit. Is the background diagram off or should I tweak the heading of the runway to make it fit?

I have ORBX Northwest installed and the runway headings and lengths are different.

What is the best way to set up the runways?

Thanks Glenn

When I look at it both in the AD chart and Google Earth, 36 looks OK but 30 seems off?





Note that if you adjust Rwy 12/30 you will have to fix the ILS and approach data / waypoints (the glideslope is messed up regardless).

Per DAFIF from 2006 runway true heading is 135.0. If you change to that, now the localizer is also 135.0 which makes sense, and if you position the runway over the GE or DAFIF image, the glideslope is in the location where the localizer should be. All suggest that the runway in FSX is misplaced.
