Managing the Runway Database
Before using RAAS for the first time, or anytime you install new scenery, you should refresh your Runway Database so the RAAS unit can accurately read your airport scenery out of Flight Simulator.
To refresh your Runway Database, perform the following steps:
Download and install MAKE RUNWAYS by Pete Dowson.
This is a freeware utility.
For FSX and P3D V1, V2 and V3, make Runways is located in the FS2004 section on Pete Dowson's page:
Click here to go to Pete Dowson's Page.
For P3D V4 and above, click here to obtain the version you need.
Follow the directions included in the download zip.
But all you really need to do is this:
1. Drop the MakeRwys.exe into to your main Flight Simulator folder.
2. Run the MakeRwys.exe. It's a good idea to run it with Admin rights. Right click on the EXE and select 'Run as an Admin'.
3. That's it!
4. Every time you update your scenery, you should re-run the MakeRwys exe to update the runways database used by RAAS.
