The taxiways were broken because I first needed a way to handle the current 810 taxiway patchwork shapetry ... http://maptest.fgx.ch/screens/taxidraw.png I converted such taxiway shapes with 300 overlapping polygons and 1200 small holes per airport to one single polygon here, and this is the result now on the map, i.e. EHAM: http://maptest.fgx.ch/screens/eham.png For now I hope that with this "cleaning" I do not miss some parts, i.e. where the patchwork produced completely invalid geometry, kicked away by grass etc. The ILS "centerlines" with valid ranges I started to calculate with a new library very useful for such things, just to add as a note: http://geographiclib.sourceforge.net/html/other.html#python Now I wrote some lazy python scripts to take lat/lon/range/heading from our current data to write a postgis sql dump, which gives me a valid table with all the ILS centerlines over the world, as line geometry for the map. An inconvenient way probably, but it works well ;-) Cheers, Yves PS. I am really curious how genapts "calculate" the taxiway patchworks and how fgfs deal with all this points. I must confess I am too lazy to dive into that. I am looking for an expermental way how I can create airport scenery without this "cover-an-area-with-a-number-of-different-lines". Might be ok for runways, but for the airport area/taxiways ... ? Maybe I miss some points. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Why Cloud-Based Security and Archiving Make Sense Osterman Research conducted this study that outlines how and why cloud computing security and archiving is rapidly being adopted across the IT space for its ease of implementation, lower cost, and increased reliability.
