From a free (Public Domain) source, also without elevation. I used a modified version of "signs" itself (http://members.aon.at/mfranz/getheight [3 kB]) that is called on one of the location files, $ ./getheight $FG_ROOT/Local/signs/data/france.gz(gzipped or raw) extracts the elevation info from fgfs, and writes the same dataset with elevation filled in under $FG_ROOT/Local/signs/data/france.out (raw) This takes a while, especially if you wait 10 seconds for every coordinate, like I did. I changed this now to 8, but you can try even smaller values, especially if you sort the data before, so that fgfs doen't have to jump that far. I was too lazy for that. :-) > Oh! a recommandation for everybody: the file must not contain "-" I had > it in the city name database, signs don't like it. Whoops. I'll look into that. BTW: it pays to update the script occasionally. Also, the paths for the cache changed a bit: there are now three subdirs A, B, and C for each data type. Paramters can now be tweaked in the property system (/sim/rendering/signs/) and there's a dialog (Shift-C) (where you can currently only turn the names on/off. I'll add some more options later.) There are now 30 signs, and they move a bit farther up/down, depending on distance. (Remember: that's a feature. You want the signs high if you are far away, because this makes them rise from valleys, but you probably want them farther down if you are close, so that you can easier see where they belong.) m. ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

* Gerard ROBIN -- Monday 16 May 2005 01:54: > May be the computer become a bit slower. Sure. Every machine instruction increases the load on the CPU, even NOOP! :-] But seriously, the script holds all airports/objects in memory (whole world) and constantly needs to find the nearest ten of them. It draws textures, communicates with fgfs etc. Still, it tries to be fast and effective, and it runs with highest "nice" level. There's no noticable slowdown on my machine. Does your frame rate really drop? How much? Or is it more of a perception thing? > We could avoid output on the console. If console output really is a problem, then you are either on WinDos (I know you aren't), or you use the slowest terminal on earth (the Gnome terminal). Although I doubt that even then the few output lines matter, I shortened them. Removing the two "print" statements in your copy is trivial. Maybe I'll make a "--verbose" option later. I've reorganized things a bit. There are now two packages, one with the data only, and one for the rest (both to be unpacked in $FG_ROOT): http://members.aon.at/mfranz/sign.tar.gz [4 kB] http://members.aon.at/mfranz/sign-data.tar.gz [475 kB] I'm still working on the script and occasionally upload a new version, while the data won't change often. The script does now have a data/ directory, in which all files are loaded, except those beginning with upper case letter. Files may be gzipped or raw. Currently there are two files in it: airports.gz objects So, if you want to add local objects, just throw them all into a new file in data/. I'll start an "austria" file ... m. ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
