The requirement for names (contradicting Chris’s talk) was correctly reported as a bug, and will be fixed in the next beta.

The additional checking is helpful, but is now requiring a change in the handling of feeder taxipaths as described in Chris’s tutorial.
The checker now requires that feeder paths which are not specified airport taxiways nevertheless have “names” that are non-blank (a feature of the taxipath system as previously described). It is possible to make the changes, and my selection is to start to name these paths beginning at the end of the alphabet and moving backwards, with single Alpha characters.
The organ1zation of the path data is somewhat confusing as provided by the checker, and individual ramp paths need to be tagged with a single character for all of the points on the path to make any sense of the requirement WED is checking for. Since the new letters have no real meaning at the airport, and to ATC, it seems that the check only will make a bunch of extra work for authors who have path layouts in place and must now label them.

I think you need to either:
– File a bug on Mantis or
– Do more work to determine whether it is a bug or
– Discuss the bug with other WED users, perhaps on the scenery emailing list or on the org or x pilot or some other public forum if you need a second opinion.

This may sound silly but how does one actually submit to Robin. I have a text file ready to go I just don’t know where to send it.

I have found another bug but i’m not sure. Where can i transmit my impressions about it.I would avoid overloading bug reports on Mantis.
