UH-60 Blackhawk Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Ok, so I checked out the x-plane wiki tutorials and followed the instructions to modify the airport. The only thing is, I can't import the new apt.nav data into WED. I changed it using textedit, and then saved as apt.nav and an rtf, to no avail. I am running a Leopard on a Mac, 10.5.8 to be exact.

Tonka Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 You need ot save as apt.dat, not apt.nav.HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UH-60 Blackhawk Posted March 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 You cannot save this document with extension ".dat" at the end of the name. The required extension is ".rtf"Anything with this? I can either use .rtf or both (.dat.rtf) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaphias Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Convert the document to plain text before changing the filename. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samen Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Also remember to only extract the apt.dat of the airport you want. Do not import the entire apt.dat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
