I added those lights to FlightGear Scenery Database months ago. I am not sure if it was legal, but I did my best to find the lights on Google Maps, often identified using their shadows. I then centered the view around each one and copied the coordinate link, which FGFSDB takes as input. I am not sure if Google Maps' coordinates was that precise, but I just thought it was better than nothing. I would not be surprised if Google Maps' imagery has changed since then. I just took a look at some of the lights and I was not able to see those anymore on the images. I have not seen that model used anywhere around KSFO before I added the objects. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
