the placing of the waypoints was done on a cosmetic basis so minimal waypoints didn't cause vessels to sail under hills etc. this will obviously need adjusting depending on the turning radii basis in the new setup. Knowing the raddii/arc reference points will enable me o fine tune the scenario under 098a and still have it compatible under CVS if the 2000ft default is realistic for these ferries...thank-you for your efforts in this area...is this still using the <type>aircraft</type> scenario?
