link to 'spheres'.
« on: April 07, 2010, 04:09:41 PM »
Back from hols and RB now all working in 3d. Must have enjoyed the rest!
However, in reloading the software I have lost the files that some kind person did to reduce the size of the aircraft 'spheres' in mimimum for network flights. Can somebody remember where they were posted??
Thanks all.

Tarbat,
If you are in a creative mood can you design a mini aircraft instead of a sphere?

I've been looking at various alternatives to the spheres. This has included using letters, arrows and cones. I've tried the coloured 'planes idea too, but they are slightly confusing because they all 'fly' in the same direction - as they are simple graphics files they cannot be Hdg orientated. The cones work best for me and I've attached the files that I use. Letters work well to and I'll post the files if anyone is interested. I like the letters because of the potential to enhance the information displayed on the 3D view. You'll see on the display list that there are the categories Approach & Landing (Green), Cruise & Levelled (Blue) and Take-off/Departure/Climb (Red).  Could you have those categories displayed on the 3D View using letters? For example, letters Ap & Ld (Green), Cr & Lv (Blue) To & Dp & Cl (Red).

Here's a shot of the screen showing what the cones look like...

Hi

Can someone please tell me how to get the small spheres or the cones into the 3d map. When I go into Data/Assets all the new ones are in the file (probably because I double clicked on them in the emails). Being thick, I don't know how to replace the default ones without making a pigs ear of it!

Thanks
Alan

Delete the old ones and rename the new ones eg delete cruise.png and then rename cruise_cone.png to cruise.png
