XPOND update: - new features: add NDBs and VORs - add 2 more FIXes to reach 100 contributed FIX Points => http://xpond.herokuapp.com

glad you like it, waiting for the first community commit though

XPOND website update: - added Degrees/Minutes conversion - added user accounts in purpose to update and refine a FIX (you need to be loged in to edit a FIX)

1) at the moment its only possible to add FIXs. If a lot of people contribute and demand for VOR, NDB, ILS etc rises, I might add these. 2) at the moment all names are unique, so it's not possible to add a fix twice. I might add user login, so that any loged in user can change Lat, Lon and name of one fix. EDIT: 3) Degrees/Minutes given: Lat: N47°59.97' use "Convert Degrees/Minutes" (Deg: 47 // Min: 59.97) (N = + // S = -) Lon: W30°0.01' use "Convert Degrees/Minutes" (Deg: -30 // Min: 0.01 ) (W = - // E = +) name: 4830N

The website XPOND - the crowd sourced "Open Nav Data for X Plane" can be found here: --> http://xpond.herokuapp.com Having found a lot of missing FIX points in the default earth_fix.dat, I started to build a new website to add custom FIX points as simple as possible. Because the information for FIX points is often provided in Lat-Lon degrees instead of Lat-Lon decimals the process was very tedious. With the new website you just add the Latitude and Longitude of the new FIX either in decimal or degree format plus the corresponding name. Hit the -add- button and you are done. You can simply download the whole crowd sourced FIX database and add all the FIXes to the earth_nav.dat -- I know Philipp is working on a completely new navdata infrastructure for X Plane 10 (hopefully on an improved standard FMS as well) as seen and described here: http://forums.x-pilot.com/index.php/topic/5040-navdata-1304-star-problem/ Meanwhile, I would like to give everybody the opportunity to use this tool and share new FIXes to everybody as soon as possible. So let's get started at XPOND: http://xpond.herokuapp.com

Lost in Barcelona?

Still some taxisigns to do. Iberia Hangar got night Texture Tower needs to be textured

Adding Taxisigns at the moment, and messing around with Terminal 2 (North). There are two variations possible, a textured model or 3d modeled with alpha transparency like EDDM. In the background the finished Iberia Maintenance Hangar.

The iberia maintenance Hangar nearly finished, just the roof texture and some doors at the bottom.

one week before christmas i started to pave Barcelonas taxiways. my goal was just to use 2d elements in WED, like taxiways, centerlines and edgelights. Now i am close to finish this 2d stuff. in the mean time i started to add some droped polygons like dirt and the red striped keep-off zones near gates (just 2-3 samples laid out). and i started to add some 3d objects - but i don't know how far i will go with that - there are no goals btw, i am still using x plane 9 and WED 1.1

something similar while flying connected to VATSIM http://www.vatnz.net/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=78&Itemid=49 All VATSIM ATC and Pilots on Google Earth. updating every 2 min or so

I would like to use Custom Facades for placing simple houses in an urban area. I have read those descriptions multiple times, but I don't know how to use theme, especially with a custom texture. http://wiki.x-plane.com/Facade_Overview http://scenery.x-plane.com/library.php?doc=facspec.php I don't get the point how to tell x plane in the .fac file how to use the texture for walls, roofs, and side walls.

You could use an Object String. This allows you to repeat steadily one object: http://scenery.x-plane.com/library.php?doc=strspec.php I don't know if it works with big bank objects, espacelly at corners and bezier curves.
