I've been hacking around with Java Swing classes during free moments over the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, and I have managed to come up with a minimally-used FlightGear airport viewer. I'm using JDK 1.4, but 1.3 might work as well (if it has the Java2D graphics API bundled). To try it out, follow these steps:
1. Copy $FG_ROOT/Airports/basic.dat.gz and $FG_ROOT/Airports/runways.dat.gz to some other location and unzip them. 2. Download http://www.megginson.com/flightsim/apteditor.jar (14K). 3. Type "java -jar apteditor.jar basic.dat runways.dat" to start. You can also add a fourth argument containing the ID of the default starting airport, as in java -jar apteditor.jar basic.dat runways.dat KSFO I'm going to try to make this into a proper editor, but for now, it just makes for a cute, minimalist viewer. I'll package up the source code when I have time -- so far, it's not commented or even sorted into packages. All the best, David _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
