WED not allowing apt.dat export

When trying to export an airport from WED to my hard drive, I keep on getting a message stating the following;

“Ramp operation types and airlines are only allowed at real ramp types, e.g. gates and tie-downs, not misc and hangars.”

I’ve gone through all my ramp starts yet the issue still remains. Do any of you have ideas?

@dush19 @Moritz?

This is probably something obvious that I’ve overlooked

When you’re ramp start type is misc or hangar, a ramp operation type is not allowed.

Does that help?

I don’t have any hangar or miscs… that’s the thing.

You should. After acknowledging the error, WED will select the error spawn point for you. Just check it’s attributes and repeat until error is gone.

Thank you! I had changed the start type in one menu, but it didn’t come across to the other. It’s working now ;)

For future reference, these type of questions are best suited in the slack (reason we have it in the first place). :)
