[ snip ]This all sounds extremely, extremely cool. Thanks for all the effort you've put into this. I have a couple of questions: > - We have added beautifully modeled rotating beacons, wind socks, and > control towers to most airports that have them.

Will these still be in separate .ac files, so that they can be replaced if desired? As I learn blender, one thing I've wanted to do (and make available to others) is make distinctive control towers that look like the ones at specific airports, e.g. http://www.npr.org/news/specials/americatransformed/photos/national.tower.jpg http://www.grahametaylor.com/gallery/americasept02/images/America_Sept_2002_0227.JPG > - Robin has made many updates to his airport database which will be > reflected in this new build.

The database that came with 0.9.4 had taxiways mainly just for big airports. Will this updated database have them for many smaller airports as well? I ask because I've been using David Luff's TaxiDraw to make taxiways for the smaller airports in the default area in hopes of contributing that work; but if that's not useful, I'll do something else. Thanks very much again; I'm really looking forward to the new scenery. -c -- Chris Metzler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (remove "snip-me." to email) "As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I have become civilized." - Chief Luther Standing Bear
