There is a tool named Groundmaker which might help. To be honest, I never understood how to use it, but fortunately one of our members did. So it might need some patience...

Groundmaker wasn't used for Sector Files, but for making Freeware scenery files, to my recollection.

Ross,

 

I am working on some new sector files for VATME and have a question, how to make a circle around a specific point.

 

Like making a 10 mile circle around the BAH VOR.

 

I use groundmaker to do the sector file but am having problems making the Circle.

 

Any help you can give would be appreciated.

Circles are just made up of a series of short line segments. I don't use GndMaker so I don't know if it has a tool to generate the segments or not. There may be some third-party tool or spreadsheet that people have used for that purpose too ... not sure.

Harry,

one product I'd suggest using is called ASRC CirclePlotter V1.1 by Michael Oxner.

It's good for making circles around objects, the only downside is it uses decimal degrees for a center point.

You can find it on AVSIM or the download link is: http://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=59060
