In FlightGear, my local airport has a windsock placed smack dab at the threshold of one of the runways. I hit/dodged it one too many times, and decided to do something about it. So I got my hands on TaxiDraw and was pleased to find it very easy to create a decent representation of the airport, complete with correct tower, windsock, and taxiway placement, runway stopways and correct approach lighting (that was already correct, but it was nice to see I could have changed it if necessary).
Then when I was ready to test it I came to the slow and very depressing realization that there was no way to get it into FlightGear without becoming an expert in scenery generation. At least, I think that's true. I'm asking here with my fingers crossed that perhaps there's an easier way now. Even if I manage to go through that process (the ond described in the TerraGear READMEs) once, I won't be apt to do it again in the future. (I would very possibly pick up TaxiDraw again and whip out the taxiways for another airport or two I frequent) Please tell me I'm wrong, and that there is a straightforward way of getting "fixed" airport data into FG.
