You know, I'd be happy to help do some of the taxiway work if a new format becomes available. I've been trying to work with Taxidraw, but it's kind of difficult to work in because of the underlying format (I have no problems with Taxidraw itself.) I find I spend a lot of time making sure the areas are in the correct place, all to make a curve that could've been described more easily with multiple points.
I know there was some talk of extracting taxiways from the FAA's PDFs, but until that becomes available, a 'starter set' of airports in the new format might be a good idea. -j > > Arnt Karlsen wrote: > >> ..IMHO, the wise thing to do is extend Robin's database format to do our >> thing the way we wanna do it, and use that to win him over our way >> exporting to his format, and ship him both.
