I even can see it in TaxiDraw - but I don't have any clue about the scale of this image. To calibrate this image I'd love to see a function in TaxiDraw that allows me not to calibrate using a single point but two points instead. I'd like to take the two endpoints of an already 'existing' runway (constructed from different sources) and have TaxiDraw rotate and scale the image to make it congruent with my runway. This would be extremely helpful. As I already managed to work around this issue (using a simple ruler) I thought I'd place a different feature request instead :-) I am 'doing' an old NATO airbase which has three hangar locations with oval taxiways around (a very common layout). I create these ovals from straigt taxiways and a circle cut in half. Such a half circle is made from lots of small taxiway sections. Now I'd need six of these half circles and each of them has a different orientation. It is easy to group these small sections but there is no function to enter a rotation angle in order to transform the whole group around its center - like it is present for a single taxiway. Would be nice, if feasible, 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

Re: [Flightgear-devel] New airport data available
Has anybody got TaxiDraw 0.2 to compile? I got problems compiling it with gcc 3.3 (IRIX and Linux) and MIPSpro (IRIX). For some off reason I could probably get MIPSpro to compile it if I was able to get wxwindows to (later than version 2.3.3) to compile, but gcc gives me all kinds of errors (both IRIX and Linux).

I presume (from reminding past threads on this list) that several of these user-submitted airports are supposed to represent disused airfields on the British territory. Are these submissions consistent with the following table ? http://dss.ucar.edu/datasets/ds900.0/data/pre73 I asking simply because I'm trying to gather evidence that the data on that page is really valid.

Hi Erik, You need either 2.4.x (the latest stable version) or 2.5.x (2.5.2 definately works), the latest unstable version. 2.2.x doesn't work unfortunately, I think I use parts of the api that weren't present then. Since 2.3.3 is an out-of-date unstable version (wxWindows uses the Linux kernal numbering convention) I wouldn't recommend it. I've never had any problem compiling wxGTK-2.4.x on Linux with either 2.95 or 3.3. It you can't sort it out then I'll see if I can get it to work on earlier versions. I've compiled it (TaxiDraw) on Linux with both g++-2.95 and g++-3.3 by the way.

As far as I know, wxGTK uses native GTK behind the scenes on Linux / Unix. According to http://www.wxwindows.org/platform.htm versions 2.2 and 2.5 have been compiled on IRIX 6.5 with the MIPSPro 7.3 compiler. I'm somewhat dissapointed that you're having such problems - I was hoping it would be a genuinely cross platform toolkit in practice as well as theory.
