wilco

The lakes must be added as a new shapefile with qgis, which I dont use .Would you mind? It is only 1 landclass :) of a small area

If we gave everybody in the World free software today, but we failed to teach them about the four freedoms, five years from now, would they still have it?

Hi SM

It looks really really really great!
Thanks a lot

I added the airport boundary with the hole, and I am constructing it right now for a proof of concept

I pushed the edited apt.dat plus the earth.wed.xml source file in the repo
(so its easy for you to continue updating): Simply replace the earth.wed.xml file in your WED Custom Scenery folder and open again. You'll get my changes
https://github.com/SH-M/PhilipIslandGPC ... f677c8e2cb

One quick point
Are you sure you added the heliports, in the correct location? Note: there are 2 helipads.

Also, since this has helipads, and its real, we can push to the gateway :D, and we will be granted the priviledge of creating a fictional icao for it

Any idea, I suggest using Fictional YPID
(I believe it becomes XYPID)

I submitted a request for XYPID in the gateway scenery database

When they create the new ICAO we can go ahead and push the new heliport-racetrack :P

I just placed the heliport at that random area since I wanted to export the apt.dat :)
I will pull the updated one and see.

The v0 data doesn't have the lake :P
I have fixed it.
Also we should use the OSM landmass which I will push soon.

I added both the helipads and the custom shapefiles.
Generate with them :D

Thanks SM

I had tried a couple of tricks too generate the boundary with the whole.

No success,.... (frustated)


The racetrack is looking quite amazing so far... but when I succeed creating the whole in the airport boundary, so the internal shapefiles are used instead of "airports:" landclass, then the taxiways no longer follow the terrain and sink and resurface... which is rather useless.


Will reconstruct with your updated dat. And explore further options to achieve the boundary whole

In the meantime, I pushed a first constructed racetrack to terraGIT :D
So Lesbof and others can begin experimenting with this.

Maybe its because you used the v0 data which doesn't have this lake.
