Editing default airports / Runways

Hi

I like to edit 2 things if possible.

  1. runway usage . For example i want to exclude RNW 36L for landings.

  2. assign my CRJ to certain parkings on the airport

Stuf like that could be done with afcad if i am not mistaken ( old days ) … but not sure how to do it in fs2020

  1. I’m not sure if you can exclude landings but allow takeoffs. If you can, it’s in the runway definition in the interface.

  2. You can assign an airline(s) to a parking spot. I can’t check, but, I’m pretty sure I needed to edit the XML to do it. I can check when I get home.

Wow that would be great … no clue where to start.

Hi,
Look under> Runway> Properties - No Primary Landing.
When this option is enabled, the primary landing area of the runway will be disabled, meaning that aircraft will not be able to land at that end. When activated, aircraft can land on the primary end.
Maybe this will help you.
I wish you success

The best place to start is

Airport Design Editor is an amazing tool for creating projects, from which you can edit either in-situ or edit it in the Developer mode Scenery Editor.

Also:

https://www.google.com/

That’s where I learned pretty much everything, along with a smattering of here, avsim.com, sim-outhouse.com and other common google locations.

Here’s an example of a parking spot with assigned airlines. Now, typically, this is for AI I think? You’ll probably want to go to FS Developer and ask about it there…

<TaxiwayParking displayName="FedEx" 
groupIndex="2051" 
index="758" 
type="RAMP_CARGO" 
lat="41.25878580340769" lon="-70.06509719595574" heading="106.000000" radius="12.000000" 
name="NW_PARKING" number="12" suffix="NONE" pushBack="NONE" 
numberMarking="FALSE" numberBiasX="0.000000" numberBiasZ="0.000000" numberHeading="0.000000" 
airlineCodes="WIG,FDX"/>

Come to think of it, I might have even been able to add the airlineCodes in the advanced section of the parking object, I forget. Here’s another example

TaxiwayParking groupIndex="2211" index="40" type="RAMP_GA_LARGE" lat="41.25737724236070" lon="-70.06237296320823" heading="226.000000" radius="21.000000" name="N_PARKING" number="1" suffix="NONE" pushBack="NONE" numberMarking="TRUE" numberBiasX="-13.500000" numberBiasZ="-13.000000" numberHeading="226.000000" 
airlineCodes="JBU,DAL,RPA,EGF"/>
