Hi Folks -- There is is an opportunity to add some interesting, aviation-related features to the FG scenery.
Here is a list of NEXRAD (weather radar) sites: http://www.mmm.ucar.edu/pdas/ftp/data/nexrad-craft.net http://www.cimms.ou.edu/~langston/hybridscan/radarinfo.html And here are the specifications and a picture: http://www.roc.noaa.gov/WSR88D/Engineering/NEXRADTechInfo.aspx A 39-foot diameter sphere on a tower tends to be pretty good landmark, useful to pilots. ============================== Of course adding nexrad towers is less important and more work than enlarging the VOR shacks: http://www.av8n.com/fly/fgfs/htm/bug-list.htm#bug-vor-shack VOR shacks are definitely important visual checkpoints. How hard would it be to make a more realistic VOR shack? Fifteen meters would be a lot closer to the "normal" diameter in the US. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
