ZUCK needs a better layout ....and buildings and everything

Haha. Does it zuck?

I remember the FG Curtis' Forum having a thread about inappropriate or double-entendre airport ICAO codes. I do know KRAP was listed, but I never knew if ZUCK was.

Best,

A list of empty 3D airports in FG without layouts will be usefull, there're hundreds (or thousends?) i think so, a lot of work to do...

ZUMY (Mianyang Nanjiao)

when they are 3D, then they are not empty.
but currently in Project3000 they have ground vehicles and jetways but the terminal buildings are missing.

best result but slow: make nice 3D models manually.

2 potentially automatic options:

* run osm2city for each "3D" airport.
- that would also work for "2D" airports

* run dsf2aptdat + osm2city for each "3D" airport.
- that fits better to the jetway locations and we would get additional apron, taxiway and car parking polygons as a bonus.

I can do both easily for one airport but currently not yet in a automatic loop for all 4000 airports - that would need some additional (python) coding.
