* '''On runway points''' Added on January 24, 2009, this check is most likely not yet available in any distributed version. This is currently just a very lame check to see if any point in the network has been marked as such. This check is not exhaustive, but simply meant as a reminder to the editor that the OnRunway points should still be marked. Ultimately, this check should be replaced by the aformentioned automatic geometry function. | * '''On runway points''' Added on January 24, 2009, this check is most likely not yet available in any distributed version.

* '''Duplicate Taxiway Segments''' It's easy to connect two network nodes twice. While this doesn't really hurt, it does add dead weight, so checking for duplicates is not a bad thing. | * '''Duplicate Taxiway Segments''' It's easy to connect two network nodes twice.

* '''Routing''' One of the most persisting problems, headache causing problems is that of a disconnected parking in the network. FlightGear will happily place an aircraft there, but bail out when that aircraft cannot reach the runway. The routing check attempts to prevent this. Notice that it is of utmost importance that the OnRunway points are set correctly, because TaxiDraw relies on these points for it's route finding algorithm | * '''Routing''' One of the most persisting problems, headache causing problems is that of a disconnected parking in the network. FlightGear will happily place an aircraft there, but bail out when that aircraft cannot reach the runway. The routing check attempts to prevent this. Notice that it is of utmost importance that the OnRunway points are set correctly, because TaxiDraw relies on these points for it's route finding algorithm. Because the route finding algorithm is rather computationally intensive, some progress information is currently written to the console (a proper progress bar would be nice). When a disconnected parking is found, TaxiDraw selects both the parking and the runway node. It is still left to the user to trace a route between these two points and find where the two pieces are disconnected. | ||
* '''Check and set pushback nodes''' this function verifies whether any specified pushback nodes adhere to the above specifications and updates some internal consistency. | * '''Check and set pushback nodes''' this function verifies whether any specified pushback nodes adhere to the above specifications and updates some internal consistency. | ||
