sector file limitations

Hi all,

after seeing the EGCC_SMR sector here on the forum i felt the need to improve our own sector files... so i started working on regions and got quite some fine result.

 

Large image so only link provided

 

Now i need to rename the parking stands which are created using the high airways, are there any limitations on the names which can be given to airways in the sct? i need to have numerical only names and i can't get them to be seen on the screen in ES (they work in VRC).

 

Thanks for any [Mod - Happy Thoughts]istance

looks like ES doesn't like to activate ALL airways, so if you add some you need to reenable them, unlike geo or regions.

 

So hopefully this one has been cleared

why you using high airways, use freetext instead in the ese file.

 

ie the format

 

N051.28.26.350:W000.26.30.960:EGLL T2 Stands:249

non-discript self importance signature

the problem is positioning regularly all the points. the airways place the text information automatically.

The freetext is placed always align as a normal text, while Luca wants to be turn as shown in the picture

having the text aligned with the line of the parking stand helps, but mainly i use the airways because the text is placed in a standard distance from the line, using labels i don't get them regular.. it makes everything messy..

I love the ground layout Luca, it's perfect. Hope Gergely pick this one up as a request for future releases?
