Hey guys, if you don't bother sending a warning notice on the mailing list, don't complain it don't works. Anyway, Paul Surgeon warns me and it is now fixed. -Fred ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

I don't warn you because I expect this kind of thing from CVS versions occasionally - I just try again a few days later when things have got themselves back in sync.

ANYTHING has got to be quicker than editing it all by hand and checking the layout in the cgi script I did some months ago! OK, I've hacked something up: www.nottingham.ac.uk/~eazdluf/TaxiDraw-0p0p2-preAlpha-w32bin.zip - Windows Binary (statically linked) [267K] www.nottingham.ac.uk/~eazdluf/TaxiDraw-0p0p2-preAlpha-src.tar.gz - source and makefile for Linux [38K], requires wxGTK-dev. Taxiways can be individually rotated, translated, and altered in size, and can be added. Pressing 'w' writes them out in FG format to ICAO.dat (where ICAO is the code of the airport being worked on), from where they can be pasted into runways.dat. No deletion or undo yet!!! So far it's all using the keyboard, not the mouse. The runways cannot be edited, and a real FlightGear airport probably needs to be loaded to start with (ie. at least one runway is needed to set the airport position). Instructions and keys are as below: - Needs runways.dat in working directory. - Use 'LoadRawAirport' menu entry and enter ICAO code. - F4/F5 zoom in/out. - arrows pan. - j/k - if no taxiways are selected, rotates all taxiways (not runways) about the *airport* origin. If a taxiway is selected, rotates that taxiway about the *selected taxiway* origin. Pressing shift (ie J/K) increases the rotation speed, but reduces the resolution. - d/f/r/c translate all taxiways if none selected, or only the selected one if one is selected. Once again, shift increases speed. - t adds a taxiway at the airport origin with selection. - l/L increases/decreases the length of a taxiway. (Thats little el and big el, not eye and el!!!). - o/O increases/decreases the width of a taxiway. - w writes out all taxiways in FG format to ICAO.dat. - TAB selects the next taxiway (cycles through the list). One position in the list is no selection. - BACKSPACE selects the previous taxiway. - ESC removes the selection from all taxiways. Please let me know if it works, particularly if it compiles OK. Feedback should increase the pace of development :-) Have fun, looking forward to the screenshots, Cheers - Dave ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

[Flightgear-devel] Taxiway editors
There was much talk a while ago about taxiway editors (ISTR there were at least a couple being worked on). How're these progressing, and where can I find them? I'm working on a bunch of airfield buildings, and it'd be nice to sort out the taxiways at the same time. -- Jon Stockill [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

I assume you're working on UK airfields :-) If you're looking to edit logical taxiways (AFCAD-like), Bernie has already mentioned his editor, and I'm working on something similar, but his is far more advanced at the moment. If you're looking to edit X-Plane data type taxiways as specified in the airports file there's nothing yet (unless David M has been busy hacking away at his Java app in stealth mode!). At the moment my effort is just a viewer and pre-alpha logical editor (AFCAD-like): http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~eazdluf/TaxiDraw-0p0p1-preAlpha-src.tar.gz (Needs wxGTK-2.4.x-dev to complile). However, if that's what you want to do (edit and create the raw x-plane type taxiways) then I'll have a hack at it - I reckon about 4 - 6 weeks to get something usable by the keen.
