Dave19972123 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Hello and Good Morning, is it possible to switch the RHT in the Netherlands to LHT? If yes, how can i do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 In FSX this is not a per country thing. Each runway has it's own pattern defined. You can edit an airport with ADE (Airport Design Editor). With that, changing the pattern direction of a runway is very simple. Just click the runway in question to select it. Right-click and you get a drop box with options. Choose "Edit Object". In the propertis window that opens, click pattern, and set the pattern you want. Save the airport off as a separate file. Then compile the airport as a separate file. Do not overwrite the original file. You compile it, and the result is a .bgl file. This you install just like any addon airport. It will then show up instead of the original version. You should never overwrite the original airports. Those original files do not just contain one airport, but many more. Editing one would only save the airport you edited. The other airports in the original file will be lost. To use ADE you also need the FSX-SDK installed. It is best to install the SDK before installing ADE.

Dave19972123 Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share Posted June 17, 2018 I meant the road traffic, if you can change that in FSX, (like in Ireland we have LHT, but the Netherlands have RHT, and i want the Netherlands have LHT too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Correct, but I have to wonder if left hand traffic is how it is there in real life. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't help you with the answer but must ask why you would WANT to do such a thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdish Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Why you would WANT to do such a thing? WOW! Could you imagine doing this in real life? All the vehicles would have the operator controls on the wrong side. All the freeway ramps would become backwards. All the signal lights/signs would be backwards. Not to mention the chaos of motorists suddenly being required to make such a drastic change in driving habits.

Dave19972123 Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 Uhm, it is about FSX, not real life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdish Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Uhm, it is about FSX, not real life Yes, yes it is...but I couldn't fly overhead in a Cessna with a clear conscious thinking about all the carnage I created happening below with the AI.

Dave19972123 Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 And how is it carnage? And that is also not a answer to my question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallcott Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 And how is it carnage? And that is also not a answer to my question Because non-one has thought - in twelve years of FSX - how to make things even `wronger` than they already are. You will probably need to modify the LWfg.xml, but how you modify a single country from RHD to LHD is not something I've ever looked at. You WILL be faced with the traffic inside the airport driving on the right while the outside airport traffic drives on the left - a potential for conflict there which could impact on your sim, while as others have noted it will impact on the traffic changing, entering and leaving motorways and junctions. And non doubt there will be code changes requird to any files referenced to ensure they apply solely to the country and no other. or else you face the pitiful result of certain types of traffic driving on the right, while others drive on the left - and that surely will impact on your enjoyment of the sim - carnage!

LOL! Basically as you mentioned earlier about phasing in the changes...CARNAGE!!! Apologies to Dave about making light of his serious inquiry... but I can't remember ever seeing a stranger request in these forums myself. I'm sure eventually it will be topped though :) Gigabyte GA-X99 Gaming G1, i7-5960X, Noctua NH-D14, Crucial Ballistix Elite 64Gb, Nvidia GTX Titan X, Creative ZxR, Ableconn PEXM2-130, WD Black SN750 250Gb & 2Tb NVMe/Gold 10Tb HDD, Sony BDU-X10S BD-ROM, PC Power & Cooling 1200w, Cosmos C700M, Noctua iPPC 140mm x6, Logitech M570/K800, WinX64 7 Ultimate/10 Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave19972123 Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 I changed the LWcfg.xml and did all RightSideDrive on false, even in proplivingworld, but it's still the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
