Tim Krajcar Posted January 21, 2009 at 04:10 AM Author Posted January 21, 2009 at 04:10 AM Not bad at all. Here's what you (or anyone else) needs to do: 1) Register a twitter account for your bot and set up its profile - make sure you don't set its updates to be protected 2) PM me with the bot's username, p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word, and a list of all of the towered fields within your airspace (ie, the fields that conceivably could have a _TWR or _APP at them, also include your CTR callsign if you use one that doesn't map to an airport like NY_CTR), one per line. For example, ZSE's would be: KSEA KPDX KGEG KEUG and so on... Then give me a few days to mark those airports in vataware and tell it about your bot and it'll do the rest Tim Krajcar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Krajcar Posted January 21, 2009 at 05:13 PM Author Posted January 21, 2009 at 05:13 PM Actually, amending that - if your fields are all listed in the latest ServInfo update, I can pull the data out of there and save you a step...
