While open to the idea of associated data regarding periods of validity for various layouts, maybe the underlying issue can be addressed more effectively by an easier way to convert modified apt data to the required btg data...this I gather is currently done by TerraGear. Then it is up to the user to decide which layout they want to encounter. This of course raises issues with Muliplayer.... as each player should be looking at the same version of the scenery.... An honest question here though... can TerraGear be limited to a single tile? IE point it to a tile or ICAO and it will regenerate just that area... I suspect the answer might be NO for a number of reasons... if the airport crosses tile boundaries problems could arise... and ... how would it process tile edges without examining adjacent tiles....but then I suppose the question is; how will a different/alternative/appended data format solve these issues?
How can code be written when an approach is yet to be decided? Merry Christmas Dene NZWN ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
