Topic: changing runway numbers for KLAS

X life ATC still has runways as 07/25 and the new runways are 08/26.  How can I change them in Xlife ATC?

Thanks
Mike

X life is reading the runways number from .dat file located in the earth and data airport folder. That file can only be change in WED. Once .dat file is updated X Life will show you the correct runway number.

Re: changing runway numbers for KLAS

I am new to this.  airport folder in X Life or X Plane?  I see that in the KLAS folder in  X Plane the runways are listed correctly as 08R/26L and do forth.  My problem lies when X Life ATC tells me to land at the old 25 runway and my FMC has me landing at 26.  ATC tells me to go around every time like I am lined up to the wrong runway. 

Thanks
Mike

Re: changing runway numbers for KLAS

I am talking about the .dat file inside the airport folder located in custom scenary if you installed a pay or free version. Based on what you described it looks like the KLAS.xlf file located in.../x-life/airports it is not updated. For that you need X Life Editor. I'll do it for you if the Airport version you have its a free or default version. Please provide me with the link from where you got the airport , if it's the default airport you dont have to provide me with a link just let me know it's the default airport.
Thanks
