sidfadc Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Hi there So I've just purchased EIDW but notice runway 16/34 has X marked up and down the runway, which denotes its closed. However not according to latest navigraph charts, this is an active runway? Or am I mistaken? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Hello, I have no idea if you are mistaken or not but here is a 2020 satellite image. If you are using an MK Studios product, you could ask them. It says this on the product page Quote Up to date ground layout and stands according to the real-world changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidfadc Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 thanks Nick I clearly am! I just assumed it was active because there are approaches on the chart I never looked at sat image. Apologies if I'm in wrong place, I bought a product from Orbx Central so came here for Support. I never noticed it was a partner product I just hit buy and install!

Nick Cooper Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Hello, it's fine, we can answer questions like that one. Strictly speaking though, the Partners provide their own support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gulfstreamtwo Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Or, as indicated in the airport briefing pages in the TAXI tab, there's extensive construction going on on runway 16/34. In such a case, the approaches are left active (not cancelled or removed) but the runway NOTAMed out. It's not worth looking up historic NOTAMS for the airport at the time the baseline image was done, but here's a copy of a current NOTAM for EIDW: NOTAM A0169/21: Dublin Airport (EIDW) A0169/21 NOTAMN Q) EISN/QMRLC/IV/NBO/A /000/999/5325N00616W005 A) EIDW 2101120300 C) 2101160600 D) DAILY 0300-0600 E) RWY 16/34 NOT AVAILABLE FOR LANDING OR TAKE OFF TO FACILITATE APRON CROSSING POINT CREATED: 11 Jan 2021 16:08:00 SOURCE: EUECYIYN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gulfstreamtwo Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Sorry about the winking smiley face in the quote. When I came back to this thread after I posted the above, the copied "B)" got translated to this: and I didn't see it in time to edit it out. I also should have noted that it's in real life situations like a runway under "short-term" construction result in the approaches not withdrawn to avoid having to republish them when construction is ended. That's where the NOTAM fits in. ATC simply won't clear anyone for an approach to that runway for the duration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidfadc Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 yep noticed the notams after my rather hasty post - should have done my homework Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevo Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 will this product become available on the marketplace soon ?. I don't fancy having to install again every time msfs gets an update, as I believe it installs to community folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Hello, welcome to the Orbx forums. Thank you for your question about an MK Studios product and the MSFS Marketplace. Unfortunately, we at Orbx do not know the answer to that question. Your assumption that somehow, an addon must be reinstalled when there is an update to the simulator is not correct, so I would advise you that you can safely buy the product from Orbx Direct and you will not need to reinstall it.
