AI ground networks and startup locations
ICAO.groundnet.xml files with AI ground networks(900 airports) and parking locations(7900 airports) http://media.lug-marl.de/flightgear/Airports.tgz
The tools I used: https://github.com/mherweg/d-laser-fgtools
old version, parking only:
- aptdat2sqlite.py (read apt.dat write to sqlite , 10 seconds)
- sqlite2xml.py (read from sqlite and create folders and files in Airports folder, 2 minutes)
new version, parking and groundnet:
- aptdat2sqlite.py (read apt.dat write to sqlite )
- sqlite2xml.py (read from sqlite and create folders and files in Airports folder)
lists of airports with ground networks
- 90 ground networks made with TaxiDraw: Airports_with_ground_networks
- 900 ground networks converted from apt.dat: Ground_networks_from_apt.dat
animated jetways
I do debugging and documentation of animated jetways. I plan to use them at EDDF and enable more aircraft to use them. There are at least 2 kind of animated jetways in Flightgear which are technically different. Both are made by the same author(skyop).
