Which might be the reason not to wait and everyone trying to get stuff done NOW *gg*

Flying mostly in germany and western euope – got V7-custom airports nearly everywhere, so I have this great-looking world-scenery as little patches all over europe only. This hurts – espacially when cruising the alps, southern france, northern spain or i.e. on approach to sylt (north-sea-island), LOWI, LOWW, or – another of my favourites – LSZS …

DSF2Text isn’t that terrible to use if it is used script-driven. Simply some drag&drop;+copy&paste-action; – but even that could get automated with some lines of code I guess (too lazy, too low-skilled 😉 ).

But…since it’s the only game in town right now, you’re right, I shouldn’t be surprised.

Can’t wait to see all those custom airports on that great scenery !

Overlay seems a great idea – hope you’ll get it working soon.

Great work !
