right,

quick question here. If im adding an airport to the airport list in TTools, what does the last number mean
eg:
KLAX,N33* 56.53',W118* 24.46',125
What does the Number underlined mean. ???

At first i thought it was the heading but looking at some it seems the have larger numbers than 360.
thanks Tongue

It's the Airfield Height Above Sea Level, ASL. You can find it in the sim, or in AFCAD. Thats the 2nd time i've been asked that!

I might be completely wrong here. I recently added my new test airstrip to the FS9 database to find out how all this works. I don't remember manually adding it to the TTools Airport text file. Try running CollectAirports.exe. I think this should do it automatically. Save the text file it creates under a different name & use this one to compile your new flight plans. Undecided

Copied from TTools ReadMe.htm
Quote:

CollectAirports is a separate program from TTools and is included in the same package. It will collect data for all of the airports in FS2004 or FS002, including add-ons, and will create a new Airports file listing those airports.

PS. This is TTools version 2.02 for FS9 & FS2002.

PPS. I just checked it out. For FS9 CollectAirports will create a file named Airports_FS2004.txt. Use this one instead of the original to compile your flight plans.

I would not think so you might want to check you punction out though you may have omitted a space or a comma: or add one where it does not belong try printing out the list as sometimes small errors can be hard to find. 8)
