About Which Runway
Which Runway is a community add-on for FlightGear. Answers which runway to use right now instead of guessing from the METAR alone. PlayBound unzips the add-on into FlightGear's Addons folder, then Play FlightGear — PlayBound passes --addon for each installed module. Mods are versioned separately from the base game — match the recommended engine or client release before joining multiplayer, and keep a clean backup of your settings if you experiment with several packs at once. PlayBound only lists projects that publish redistributable archives or clear external download pages. Always read the upstream README for credits, required assets, and known incompatibilities.
Compatibility: FlightGear 2024.1+ addon module (`--addon`)
Install with the PlayBound Launcher
The launcher installs this into (game root) for FlightGear. If the base game is missing, it will install that first.
How to install Which Runway
- 1
Install with PlayBound. The archive is unzipped into FlightGear's Addons folder (FG_HOME), not the game bin directory.
- 2
Play FlightGear from PlayBound. The launcher passes --addon for each installed add-on module that still has addon-main.nas.
