Adding 3rd Runway @ KSEA

[Randy Tyndall 1087023]

I have been searching all over for a scenery addon for FS2004 that has the new 3 runway configuration for Sea-Tac. I've found one for FSX. When all else failed I even tried to add it, but to no avail. I went to the West Wind VA site and found one that supposedly works for FS2004 (at the very bottom of their scenery download list), and it adds the airport proper and a flattened area where 16R/34L should be, but no runway or connecting taxiways show up. Just the flattened area. Another one (I've tried so many) adds the ILS files for the new 3 runway setup and I can fly an ILS approach to all 6 runways, but there are only the 2 runways (from default FS9) showing. If I dial in the NAV1 freq for ILS 16C (or 34C) the default scenery shows me on 16R (34L). If I dial in the new freqs for "16R" or "34L", I land in a default "neighborhood" of autogen houses to the west of the two existing default runways. So I'm landing where the new runway should be, but it's not there.

 

I downloaded RWY12 v1.2 thinking I could just generate a new runway and add it to the scenery file, but there is no runway in it's library to add. (Why would you call a scenery building program that has no runways Runway 12?)

 

All I want to do is add the third runway @ KSEA in FS2004 (FS9) to make my online experience more realistic.

 

I'm not a programmer, compiler, techno gee-whix guy. Just a "hunt-n-peck" keyboarder who got all his computer experience from sitting at the keyboard and crashing the system over and over trying to do things he shouldn't, so the simpler the better works for me! In other words, if I have to open files and make changes, I need to know what program opens that file. When Windows asks me "What Program do you want to open this with?" I always guess and I have NEVER guessed right.

 

Just a little help, huh?
