Using Scripting, two airfields (at least) have missing runways!?

[TEMPEST.114]

Creech is missing 13/31

McCarran is missing 01L/19R and 01R/19L

 

These are the ones I've found... so far...

Sorry I am not sure the issue. 

[TEMPEST.114]

What do you mean?

How using scripting are these runways missing runways? And is this a DCS issue or a script issue? What exactly do you want us to fix. 

[TEMPEST.114]

local runways = Airbase.getRunways(airbase)

This script function returns all the runways for the airbase object provided. 

EXCEPT that it doesn't. It misses some out on some airfields. Some airports on most maps that have multiple runways and crossing runways, aren't getting them all reported when using this function.

E.g.

    Airbase "Creech" - misses 13/31.

    Airbase "McCarran International" - misses "01/19".

    Airbase "Ramat David" -misses "11/29".

    Airbase "Beirut-Rafic Hariri" - misses "16/34".

 

So, because we can't trust the results of this function, it is forcing me, to have to HARD CODE for every broken airport in every map, a giant IF statement that gets the airfield name and if there's a match, then add in the missing runways. And I only know which ones to do this for if I manually test every airfield on every map one by one and compare against the in-game F10 map. 

Therefore, the engine via the above scripting function is incorrectly reporting the runways for a given airbase and we can't trust what we get back as The Truth. 

And there are even runways being reported by this function that are not specified on the F10 map / Mission Editor map

e.g. Persian Gulf & "Quasoura_airport"

I tried my best to create a script listing each runway for each airbase but I'm at a loss. Please provide a MIZ file showing the issue.

I have attached a sample miz showing what I think OP is saying the problem is. Some runways are outright missing, some are mislabeled. Each runway should have one instance. From the below log, it is clear that something is awry. Creech for example is showing runways 8 and 26 in scripting, with "8" in scripting being 8/26, and "26" in scripting being 13/31 (which we can tell from the associated runway bearing). McCarran is showing 7 and 25 in scripting, with one of them being 7L/25R and the other being 7R/25L in reality (note that 1L/19R and 1R/19L are entirely missing). Similar thing going on at Nellis, where we have 3 and 21, which are really 3L/21R and 3R/21L. Similar situation at Boulder City, Henderson Exec, Jean, and Tonopah (civil not Test). North Las Vegas is great, where we got 25, 7, and 30 in scripting, which are really 7/25, 12L/30R, and 12R/30L. I could keep going but it's getting sort of confusing, which I believe is the point.
