Outlines

RodBearden · January 09, 2011, 12:35:34 PM

Hi Dana - no, not really - but the 3D version uses the real Google Earth, so that's the best option.

In the 2D mode, it is possible to use maps from anywhere, but they all work the same way as the NASA images - the more you zoom in, the more pixellated the image becomes. There are forum threads about how to do this, Try this as a starting point: http://www.airnavsystems.com/forum/index.php?topic=1447.msg11180#msg11180

Hi Rod,
Thank you for your information....seems to be complicated..
Thank you very much any way :)

Dana - I feel the same as you!

Here's an outline of the GA airport very close to Denver:

Front Range - KFTG

I've been watching an RV-6 buzzing round here on the network:

Marana Northwest Regional Airport / Avra Valley Airport - KAVQ
Pinal Airpark - KMZJ including Silverbell Army Heliport (the area to the north) where Apache training (including for the British army) happens.

At Avra Vally on Google Earth I counted 6 4-engined propliners including 3 Connies, at least 13 Skyhawks, and 6 Starships. And there were 7 Albatrosses at Pinal. Davis-Monthan's just down the road, too. More rust than dust round there! (OK, I know there's not much to rust in a Starship, but you know what I mean.)

Hi-res outline of the Hong Kong's Lantau Island

Excellent - our very own hi-res outlines at last!

Here's another Arizona low-res one from me:

Ryan Airfield - KRYN

Thanks, Rod!

But I just found that your UUWB current outline is far more hi-res then mine.

So, guys, please just ignore my UUWB file from the reply #34

You may find Rod's UUWB outline as Ramenskoye.out in the outlines zip archive at:

Thomas.

I'm happy to give them a go - as long as they are clear in Google Earth - I'll have a look...

EDIT - Blimey - they're vast! give me ten minutes... or so....

At least they're clear in GE.

Rod

vonsmalhausen · January 13, 2011, 06:43:35 PM

ten minutes,...... take ten day's if you need them ;-)
i'm already happy you are working on them -)

RodBearden · January 13, 2011, 10:00:13 PM

Done - not as bad as I thought! Belgian airbases:

Koksijde - EBFN
Florennes - EBFS
Beauvechain - EBBE

It's a pleasure.

Another one, this time in the land of Oz:

Melbourne Essendon - YMEN

Durban's new airport, King Shaka International, FALE, is clearer in Google Earth, and I've noticed that some of the guesses I made last time were wrong. Here's a replacement for that, along with the separarate outline consisting of just the runway centreline. I've kept it separate so that it can be easily removed if (when) the RadarBox map gets updated.
