In reply to Greg DVA3528.

No, and you should not do that.

First, use 1.5 to experiment with the beta, not to do production work.
Second, if you’ve taken advantage of new stuff in 1.5, just wait a week or two for things to stabilize, then submit them.

In reply to Ben Liebhart. IATA codes, space separated. But: the X-Plane library does not contain airline-specific models, so without an airline-specific library, you won't see any difference.

I wanted to know how to use the Airline field within Ramp Starts…Has this alredy got any effect…Do you use the ICAO codes or IATA…how can you enter several airline codes (with “;” “,” etc.)…what happens if the airline entered has no Airline model…?
I am very new to the topic of scenery creation and maybe I missed a documentation.

Greetings Ben

Hi Nathan,

I’ll write up a more detailed post about the flattening; I get a lot of questions about that.

cheers

Great work – just a word to say XP b5 fixed my crash bug – phew!

So I’m away and can’t try WED yet – how does the flattening algorithm work?
Is it literally flat (perpendicular to the earths core!) or is there some other algorithm at play? And what area is flattened, the airport boundary?

I was thinking of runways that just need some ‘softening’, and that you might ‘blur’ the underlying height bitmap to provide the softening, the airport author just needs to provide a blur-radius. …a good idea?

In the FScon 2016 video, there was a list of airports LR are commissioning – London Heathrow was mentioned, and I think I also saw Southmpton (UK) on it.
Is this list published anywhere? It would be good not to duplicate effort.
Are they listed in the release notes? I’ve seen the new EGLL, but I didn’t see it in the release notes?
Are all airports going to be gateway scenery? I’m thinking of long term maintenance and updates.

PS – PBR? How without ray tracing? Need to google…
