• 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.

I am wondering where the code below gets the runway texture from.

Area( B N33:37:12.02 W084:26:01.75 50 )
LayerCall( :L000020 24 )
Jump( : )
:L000020
RunwayData( N33:37:12.02 W084:26:01.75
alt 312.770
heading 89.98
length 9050 ; in feet
width 150 ; in feet
markers 3F
id 10
lights 7
surface 1 <------------ which is concrete if I compile
ThrOffN 50
ThrOffF 50
ThrLightsN 01
AprLN 6
StrobesN 15
ThrLightsF 01
AprLF 6
StrobesF 15

)
Return
EndA


So where did the runway texture that shows up on the ground actually come from.

Is it a FS9 texture if I but the new runway in FS9 or is it a FS2002 texture made for FS9.

If I compile this code with scasm and place in FSX is the runway texture then coming from FSX?
 
Hi Jim,

The textures are probably hardcoded somewhere in the scenery engine. The following textures are used as far as I know:

runway00.r8 till runway09.r8

From runway10.bmp it continues as a bmp file, but I don't know exactly where it stops for the Fs2002 style runways. Could be these are for the XML style runways only.

These can be found in the main texture folder.
 
Thanks Arno

I made a FSX runway invisible and then compiled this old style type code to see what the results would be.

Once I had the code (SCASM) compiled, the runway showed all the effects of a default FSX runway (rain, snow, etc) so I assumed it is using a FSX runway texture.
 
So it looks like they mapped the old style runways on the FsX style in the scenery engine. Which is good news of course :).
