adding airfields to info

is there a way of adding an airfield for mb without taking up space in the airfield.dat.
 
Well yah....you just won't have the big "X" telling you where it is. In addition, the "X" allows you to place aircraft smack dab on the runway.
 
Without an airbases.dat entry you can't select the airfield in MB and designate it as "Take off".

If the airbase scenery is installed but not entered into airbases.dat the field and runway will still be there. If you were to find it on the MB map you could zoom in and see the runway, buildings, etc., but as Rami says - no big X,meaning you can't select it.

You could design a mission starting airborne at that location, then go into the mission file and manually edit it to take off from the ground, but that is a lot of needless work. In less time than it takes to read this you can make an airbases.dat entry and solve the problem permanently. File size shouldn't be a problem unless you are running Windows 98.
