Love the results so far... are the skybridges far out?
I got the parking points from the NZ AIP site then stuck a 737 on the 
apron with the front wheel on the parking point, then positioned the 
skybridge and rotated the aircraft so it all lined up. Not exact by any 
means and fair bit of the eye-o-meter involved.

If you want a host, we have 30G/month, the only down side is that the 
site has limited up time due to domestic arrangements at the moment. I 
don't have an FTP up-load client but if you email them I can put them in 
the right folder and between 19:00z to 10:00z (plus or minus local 
daylight saving) they'll be there for downloads... or better still just 
send them up to Jon's FGFSDB for inclusion..
