Next step is the import script for 3D models. It's on its way, finished to approximately 90%. Be patient, it's quite a complex tool to achieve. | Next step is the import script for 3D models. It's on its way, finished to approximately 90%. Be patient, it's quite a complex tool to achieve. | ||

Some mapserver news here, as we have not been talking about this very useful tool for a while. Mapserver has been going through updates this month, one of the most useful being the possibility to view details on a object and to edit/delete it directly from the map. This has never been so easy to update/delete a shared object directly from the map (see the screenshot). Note that you need to have a sufficient zoom factor (>=16) to see the red arrows appear, then you can click on them. Special thanks to Martin, Julien and Gijs for updating and testing this tool. | |||
To use it, please have a look [http://mapserver.flightgear.org/popmap/?lat=52.47492&lon=13.38199&zoom=16&layers=B00FFTTTTT here]. | |||
