#224: contact Robin directly, his email is on this page.

He is not a LR employee, he has a day job, so he may not be reachable for chunks of time.

Please do not post additional commentary re: Robin on this blog post. It is off topic and I do not have time to intermediate in airport-related communications.

Does Robin Peel ever acknowledge data corrections? I, and some others I know, have submitted corrections to him and we never hear a word in return. At the very least he could send a brief "thanks."

alloycowboy: I find the polluted night sky looks more like yellow or orange. Can be light brownish when it's cloudy. When moonlight or even starlight dominates it's blue. And I can still easily see things on the ground, unlike X-Plane (at least v9) where it's pitch black. Something to remember is that, ignoring lights, the sky is brighter than the ground. Just look at the edge between an object and the sky. Compared to the object, the sky looks like daylight.

Sorry if this isn't the appropriate place for this comment. But I wanted to tell you about it before I forgot. I was just looking at the night time screen shots for X-plane 10. There really dark and look great by the way. My only comment is that due to all the sodium street lights and airport lighting the night sky is never that black. They generally have a redish tinge to it. But don't take my word for it; bust out your digital camera and see what color the night sky is.

Thanks!

Ben, you should send this to Nicolas at the Org too. Then he could put it on the front page and more people would recognize (especially as it is a quite tight deadline).
