Adding a runway with AFX

[ryan78]

Hope this is the right forum,

Anyways, i've been messing with Airport Facilitator X trying to add a new runway to Punta Cana Intl Airport. They opened a new runway about 2 months ago aswell as 2 new taxiways. Ive been reading how to's and instructions on how to add runways using AFX or any other AFCAD program, (I have afx so thats what i use) and have tried many times without success adding the runway and linking the taxiways. So i've come here as a last resort. I would love if someone could update my AFCAD file for PUJ, if you are willing to help send me a PM and ill send you pictures aswell as specs for the runway's and taxiways, aswell as my AFCAD file.

Well, the typical method would be to create a new runway entity, and set all its parameters (lights, markings) and place it accurately. Then create a "runway" taxipath down the centerline with appropriate name (runway 08). Then draw your taxiways from the centerline path to where they need to go/intersect existing taxipaths. Add or change the nodes next to runway into "hold short" nodes, and finally add taxisigns.

I did take a quick look at that airport and experimented on a quick update if interested.
