[Flightgear-devel] Locating an airport control tower
Hello, I'm modelling an airfield and I know the exact location of the control tower. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of the building but at least I'd like to place the FlightGear default control tower building, as it is present at KHAF for example, at the correct location. I know there has been discussion on this topic in the past but I don't manage to find the places (discussion thread) from where to pick the relevant information. Apparently the airport definition doesn't provide a field to enter the location - does it ? Could please someone give me a hint ? Thanks, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -- ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

Best way to find the right file is to grep the scenery tree for the airport code, since the airport object is also referenced in the .stg file.

Paul Surgeon wrote: Ok this is just a rough idea what do ya guys think? I think that a variation of what you described should be relatively straight-forward to do, at least to get some basic support for season-based textures going ...basically it sounds similar to what has been mentioned already in earlier discussions about this topic. So, one could still later on refine these things - however, while supporting the corresponding tags would be a no-brainer, one would still have to look into the current texturing code in order to be really able to assess how feasible it would ultimately be to get the thing easily done. Also, personally I would consider it more plausible to either provide the season(s) for a texture either as a parameter - or simply as a sub/child-node, instead of using a separate tag. But that's then probably really only a cosmetical factor ... But such a dynamic backend option would certainly be interesting to have. The ESRI data sets do also seem provide data for different seasons if I remember correctly, so one might even be able to use some of that for that purpose, too... P.S. Oops that took a few more lines to explain than I anticipated. :P I can reassure you, that your posting is certainly not the longest one this mailing list has seen - don't ask me how I come to know that ;-) Boris ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

This ultimately get's translated into a .stg file entry. I assume we currently don't have this feature in TaxiDraw, because TaxiDraw internally still operates with the FlightGear format - do we ?

I assume we currently don't have this feature in TaxiDraw, because TaxiDraw internally still operates with the FlightGear format - do we ? At least the TaxiDraw 'project' files look pretty similar to the FlightGear format, The core part of TaxiDraw's project files gets written out in whichever data format you originally loaded the data from - either X-Plane or FlightGear. If towers/beacons/windsocks are found in the data, then they will be stored internally in TaxiDraw. Currently only the beacons get displayed and can be moved, but this could easily be changed to include tower and windsocks as well. It's possible in the current version to export moved beacon locations to FlightGear's .stg file. This allows instant viewing of the change, with no need to rebuild the scenery. This could easily be extended to encompass tower and windsock positions as well. The problem is that TaxiDraw has no knowledge of ground elevation, so unless the airport is relatively flat the beacon/tower/windsock may end up either partially submerged or floating.

Ah, then I'll try to 'port' my project file over to X-Plane format. It's been easier to define the runway in FG format, that's why I started there, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -- ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

This is not really harmful but a bit irritating Urgh - thanks for catching that - I consider any case where TaxiDraw corrupts data to be extremely harmfull, even if it is only one foot. I've got a pretty good idea where this is happening. The trouble with these float-int rounding bugs is that they seem to be OS or compiler specific, so I can't always reproduce them. I'll send you a patch to test when I've got a fix if that's OK.
