PTO airbases.dat

Hallo to all,
in my CFS2 PTO i wish add eawwii_full scenery, there is a complete airbases.dat for PTO teatre with a correct sequence of entries?

Thanks in advanced.

Best regards.
 
A "complete" PTO airbase.dat would probably be too large. You'd have to make 2 of them and split the scenery into 2 areas. I have one with Maskrider's Solomons, DEI, Philippines 1 and 2, Micronesia, PNG (full). and of course the remaining stock bases. It has 341 bases on it in all. Do you want it? You would need to create a new one with MR's Formosa and all the eawwii bases in order to cover the PTO (most of it). You could switch back and forth between the two, depending on where you want to fly. :wiggle:
 
Sorry probably i have explain me in a bad way.
I search if is a list with the PTO airbases with the correct or ufficial unway and ID numeration so to add the new bases with the appropiate sequence.

Best Regards.
 
Stockplane,

If what you want is a copy of the stock airbases.dat file, here ya go:

If you plan to use it in the sim be sure to change the name.

Cheers,
MR

The stock airbases are not a problem, the question is for example:
[runway.xxx]
id=xxxx
name=Denpassar
base_lat=S08 42.15
base_lon=E115 12.78
base_alt=3
heading=120
allegiance=0
units_across=2
takeoff_start_pos=-000,0
takeoff_stop_pos=1325,200
landing_start_pos=5000,350
landing_touchdown_pos=550,0
landing_stop_pos=-250,0

what is the correct runway number and ID number for Denpassar base and obviously for all the others?
Or a similar codification there is not?

Thanks in advanced for any informations about.
 
The author did not fashion completed entries with his package. There was no need and its just too many ID entries to be bothered with anyway for such generous offerings. Instead, he elected to let the users construct their own runway numbers and ID entries, while he provides the coordinates and other pertinent miscellany for each base.

So to answer your question, there are no correct runway numbers and ID's for his works. You just plug them into the end of your current airbase.dat and ID them as you see fit. But the actual runway numbers sequence has to start where your current list ends (Gasmata is the last entry in the stock list):

[runway.123]
id=8050
name=Gasmata
base_lat=S6 15.77
base_lon=E150 20.22
base_alt=0
heading=223
allegiance=0
units_across=2
takeoff_start_pos=-400,0
takeoff_stop_pos=1600,200
landing_start_pos=5000,350
landing_touchdown_pos=500,0
landing_stop_pos=-250,0

[runway.124] <<< VERY IMPORTANT TO SEQUENCE THIS NUMBER CORRECTLY
id=8051 *** SEQUENCE NOT IMPORTANT HERE, BUT USEFUL ***
name=Denpassar
base_lat=S08 42.15
base_lon=E115 12.78
base_alt=3
heading=120
allegiance=0
units_across=2
takeoff_start_pos=-000,0
takeoff_stop_pos=1325,200
landing_start_pos=5000,350
landing_touchdown_pos=550,0
landing_stop_pos=-250,0

***NOTE: If the ID number is taken by another add-on base used in a mission, you'll have CTD issues when loading the mission. This is always a major concern as you continue to build your scenery library and you'll need to pay close attention to this detail going forward. Most scenery designers follow the same pattern as the author of this eawwii_full package by allowing the users to assign their own ID's. But occasionally you will download a scenery package with base ID numbers already assigned for use in a designed mission package.
 
Hi Stockplane,

Unfortunately we don't have a standardized set of airbase.dat entries for the PTO. Different authors of missions use different ID numbers for the same airfield.

Here's my list. I've tried to match the ID numbers with as many of the more commonly used aerodromes in missions as much as possible. There's nearly a thousand entries and it works OK. There's a number of spare airfields for future expansion. They are simply named "xxxx".
