Good day all,

I, (and I'm sure many others in the future) would be grateful if the following question could be answered:

Q: How can I extend the runway at "Homebase"? I have tried tinkering with homebase.cfg file but no results. I wish to double the length to allow for heavy XR5 operations.

Below is the section for the runway from the .cfg file. (Unmodified.)

Many thanks!

To extended runway you need to change this:

END1 1650.24 0 348.25
END2 -151.799 0 -171.86

Experiment with END 1 & 2 to make runway longer.
Where is homebase.cfg?
 
Thanks, I shall get experimenting!

Homebase.cfg is in: C:\orbiter directory\Config\Earth\Base
