Innis --
That doesn't look too bad. The manual method won't be horrible if I stick to
the main taxiways and only a few gates. I can always add on to it little by
little.
Big question: how close must a node be to the exact point used for the end of a
runway, in order for it to be recognized as such? Is this perhaps the cause of
the unexpected program termination Greg Hawkes described?
Cheers,

Hi RobSo I take that to mean that creating a ground network isn't necessary
but will make the parking and taxiing more realistic. What do I do to create a
ground network, if even a rudimentary one? Thanks, -R.
There is two ways of creating a ground network one is the manual method and the
automatic way is to use a program which Durk has probably mentioned called taxi
draw.This program you will have to build from source as I don't think there is
any RPM/DEB's for it.
The manual method which is very slow and work intensive although if you are
only making a small network say 5 nodes is not to bad.
First thing with the manual method would be to look at one of the small
networks to get an idea of how the system works.Then using any aircraft(the UFO
is probably the best) you move around the taxiways taking LAT/LON position
between your parking position and the runway you are using for takeoff's.These
positions are entered into the parking .xml file so a one parking bay and two
node parking file might look like this
<groundnet>
<parkinglist>
<Parking index="0"
type="gate"
name="A1"
number="1"
lat="S23 48.102"
lon="E133 54.076"
heading="0"
radius="54"
airlineCodes=""
pushBack="left"/>
</parkinglist>
<TaxiNodes>
<node index="1" lat="S23 48.201" lon="E133 54.150" name="AI waypoint node"/>
<node index="2" lat="S23 48.146" lon="E133 54.184" name="AI waypoint node"/>
</TaxiNodes>
<TaxiWaySegments>
<arc begin="0" end="1" name="Route"/>
<arc begin="1" end="0" name="Route"/>
<arc begin="1" end="2" name="Route"/>
<arc begin="2" end="1" name="Route"/>
</TaxiWaySegments>
</groundnet>
Replace the LAT/LONs' in this example.For the airport you are making the
network for.
