:Of course you also could use the above shown “lat/lon/heading”-values to define that position in [[GPS]] (see next chapter) – but you would have to convert those from Decimal to Grad° (You could do that with e.g. http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/bickel/DDDMMSS-decimal.html). | :Of course you also could use the above shown “lat/lon/heading”-values to define that position in [[GPS]] (see next chapter) – but you would have to convert those from Decimal to Grad° (You could do that with e.g. http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/bickel/DDDMMSS-decimal.html). | ||
Sorry enough: Those Starting-Points are not defined for all airports - due to the limited availability of unpaid volunteers. But You can define your own “parking.xml” or add parking-lots to an existing one according to the above scheme – for HowTo get additional [[GPS]]-data see the next chapter! That way you could create your own personal “VIP-Parking” for your most favorite airports! Save the new "parking.xml"-file into the ''''$FG_ROOT/AI/Airports/ICAO-Code/'''' (or if you use FlightGear 2.4.0 or newer into'''$FG_ROOT/Scenery/Airports/[i]/[C]/[A]/ICAO.groundnet.xml''') directory. Please note, however, that parking positions are defined as part of a ground network file that was originally designed for FlightGear's AI system. Checkout the [[Interactive_Traffic]] page for more information on ground networks. | Sorry enough: Those Starting-Points are not defined for all airports - due to the limited availability of unpaid volunteers.

And if you do that for yourself, why not add a few more statements and make them available to everybody! See e.g. the http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php/Volunteer and airport-diagrams, which are available in the Internet. | And if you do that for yourself, why not add a few more statements and make them available to everybody!
