[Flightgear-devel] Some Helipads

2011-09-16 Thread HB-GRAL
Hi Here you find a ESRI Shapefile with ~3700 helipads missing* in 8.50 xplane data (and maybe in current fg data), located mainly in United States: http://maptest.fgx.ch/data/helipad.zip Maybe someone finds this useful. Cheers, Yves --

Hi Allan, I think I got the clue for the confused images, can you give ./buildmaps.pl a new try? https://gitorious.org/zakharov/zkv1000/blobs/master/Systems/buildmaps.pl the mismatching tiles effect was due to already existing tiles. Thanks for your report. Regards seb Le 13/09/2011 20:38,

Hi Here you can download two ESRI shapefiles where I provide some differences between NDBs in xplane data (8.50) and ourairports.com data. NDBs in xplane data, but not in ourairports (585 NDBs): http://maptest.fgx.ch/data/ndbmissingourairports.zip NDBs in ourairports data, but not in xplane dat

Couple things I've noticed with 2.4.0: - the dirt texture maps to rock - which makes KOAK look very strange as there is a thin dirt barrier between the airport and the ocean which is now mapped to rock. "Rock" and "dirt" are two different concepts. Unfortunately, a lot of the time remotely sen
