*Sigh...I have never seen this one before.  There is a waypoint of type "Runway" in the Sid departure procedure.  My code doesn't even attempt to handle these becasue it never expected them.   It should not be there period.  I am wondering if this will be a constant struggle with the nav data...always watching out for "abnormal stuff" and having to code around it.  I am wondering if we should try to code around it, or contact the provider for "fixing"?   If I simply open the XML and delete the offending waypoint altogether then this is what I get......and probably a lot closer to what you want Tom ;)

Does Aerosoft have this also ?

Maybe both, contact the provider and get it fixed, and code a rutine, for failsafe, that remove ID="1" from a SID if the type is runway. If it is so simple ;)

     <Sid Name="POL5R" Runways="23R">
      <Sid_Waypoint ID="1">
        <Name>RW23R</Name>
        <Type>Runway</Type>
        <Latitude>53.361319</Latitude>
        <Longitude>-2.259281</Longitude>
        <Speed>0</Speed>
        <Altitude>0</Altitude>
        <AltitudeCons>0</AltitudeCons>
        <AltitudeRestriction>at</AltitudeRestriction>
        <Flytype>Fly-by</Flytype>
        <BankLimit>25</BankLimit>
        <Sp_Turn>Auto</Sp_Turn>
      </Sid_Waypoint>

      <Sid_Waypoint ID="2">
        <Name>MCT</Name>
        <Type>DmeIntc</Type>
        <Latitude>53.357025</Latitude>
        <Longitude>-2.262289</Longitude>
        <Speed>0</Speed>
        <Altitude>760</Altitude>
        <AltitudeCons>0</AltitudeCons>
        <AltitudeRestriction>above</AltitudeRestriction>
        <Hdg_Crs>0</Hdg_Crs>
        <Hdg_Crs_value>233</Hdg_Crs_value>
        <Flytype>Fly-by</Flytype>
        <BankLimit>25</BankLimit>
        <DMEtoIntercept>3.0</DMEtoIntercept>
        <Sp_Turn>Auto</Sp_Turn>
      </Sid_Waypoint>

Did a content search in all files in SidStar folder. And got 219 hits in 41 files when searching for <Sid_Waypoint ID="1">\r\n        <Name>RW

I havent quality checked this result. The search requires that the next line after <Sid_Waypoint ID="1"> have 8 blank spaces before <Name>

So its 41 airports that have "runway" as the first waypoint in the SID, of the 6805. So I guess I was "lucky" that found one of them ^^

maybe it's to specify that this SID is Exclusive to that Runway… 

I think that is specified by the <Sid Name="POL5R" Runways="23R">

From KJFK

<Sid Name="HAPIE4" Runways="All">

Hi

I dont know your progress on this, maybe it is solved.

But I checked Navigraph cycle 1607, and there is only one airport that have changed (DTTF) from cycle 1606, concerning the runway as first waypoint.

The difference on one SID at DTTF.

That's only for Navigraph. I know Aerosoft includes many legs of the type "fix to an altitude" in their data for the X-Plane GNS430 GPS (e.g. LSGG SID procedures); not sure about their IXEG data.

That being said, "fix to <something>" where the first fix is the runway threshold is really not much different than a "course to <same something as before>" and the legs should contain enough information to magically convert it internally should the IXEG code require it.

I guess the issue here was simply that the format used by IXEG could represent "fix to <something>" so the runway threshold was incorrectly included as a normal waypoint instead…
