Is there a way to configure FSBuild 2.4.0.18 so it does not automatically insert a runway when you enter the airport code in the departure/destination boxes or not include runways when you build the plan?

FSBuild enters the sid/star information automatically, but you can add excl_sidstar to the cfg and they do not get added to the plan when you build the plan. I would like to be able to do the same thing with runways.

Right now I have to delete the runway information out of the departure airport box so the departure runway does not get added when I build the plan.

No, it will always include a runway.

This is to ensure a correct Export, as for some addons the export file will not load correctly without a runway. So if a user forgets to select a runway there is always one exported.

Why do you need to exclude the runway ?

Regards.
Ernie.

Because I choose the runway and sid after I span at the airport then enter them directly into the FMC after I have loaded the company route (XXXX.pln).

Thanks for the explanation!

I still don't understand why you need to exclude the runway.

You can always change it in the FMC after the ,pln is loaded.

It is not that I need to Ernie, it is that I wanted to.

When I look at the flight plan in the FMC I was use to the first enty being the airport (KLAX) rather than a runway (25L).
