Bringing in new airports How too...

[turbootter]

Hi Tim, I follow you posts on the FTX Forums and do appreciate your work.  My question is I want to learn how to put airports that are not listed from ORBx PNW into Plan-G.  I installed the different fire towers.  I was looking at the spreadsheet and it baffled me.  Can you give a quick lesson.  Thanks

BTW I have Plan-G running on a second computer and my FSX life is fantastic.  I miss FSNavigator from FS9, oh well, Plan-G rocks.

The easiest way is to find them on the map (use their kml as a reference, or whatever other data they supply), and then right click on the spot and select 'Create User Waypoint'.

Thank you very much for that information.  Next when I am finished creating different areas how do I save the info to upload it for others.

Go to the Manage User Waypoints dialog, highlight your additions and click Export.

Tip: When you create the waypoints, specify a tag that will make them easy to identify (e.g. 'NA Towers'). Then, in the Manage Waypoints dialog, you can simply click on the column headers to sort the waypoints by that column.

Hi,

Once your user waypoints are done, you can find them in the database opened by "Data" menu and click on "Manage Database User Waypoints".
In the window that opens you select the items you've created by selecting the corresponding lines.
Then you click on the button "export" and you save the file with a descriptive name.
This file can then be emailed to another user who will import the rows in its own database by clicking the Import button
A provision of the file can also be done on a website and be recovered by downloading ...

Oooops sadly Tim I come too late :) :)
