Aerofly FS airport creation tool ( early alpha version, work in progress )

I wanted to test EDXE(_2/3) to see if all data is uploaded during the import. In doing so, I noticed that no aerodromes can be saved at the moment (I also logged out and logged back in). I always get this message:

Exporting is possible and when importing a manually changed tap file, all data now seem to come with it.

Addition:

When deleting EDXE_2 and EDXE_3 I get this error message:

The airfields

- EDXE_2,

- EDXE_3 and

- TEST

I have only created for testing the airfield import, you are welcome to delete them if they disturb the current one. Otherwise, I will test the deletion when the 403 error has been eliminated.

You know, it would be great if IPACS setup a system like Laminar Research has (The X-Plane Scenery Gateway) where users can create and upload airports onto an official IPACS server which serves two purposes: a) allows the general public to locate and download and immediately use those airports and b) eventually IPACS can incorporate those airports (automatic license agreement as part of upload account registration for the server) into the official Aerofly FS 4 product's airport simulation database for the next software update release.

IPACS - Check it out for yourself and hopefully do something like it:

X-Plane Scenery Gateway

OK, I did a backup of my airport.

I have backed up my airfields.

Good luck with the reset.

I have also backed up my airport.

However, I still have the Issue that a few things are not saved properly, they are not even exported correctly. Is this a known Issue?

Done for my airport LSZT.

I figured out why the re-import didn't work for me at first. I had not done the Airport Boundary. Then it seems that the import stops at the Airport data without loading the Runway and the other objects.

Backed up/Exported airport .tap file.

May I have access to the online tool? I would really like an easier and more intuitive way to make my airports.

Actually I like the idea of donating our airport creations to the official core of Aerofly. Like Wikipedia we could collaborate and create as well as fix content. IPacs would curate our changes and transfer these to the main simulator or appropriate DLCs. (As I understand the actual disk size of an airport is negligible compared to ortho images.)

Ah, and think of gamification: what about becoming editor of the month or editor of the year?

Ladies and gentlemen, world-wide airport coverage is in our reach!

Next stop: placement of VORs and NDBs.

With FSCloudPort, there has been something we can learn from for years . It shows that there are different demands of airfield developers, some only want the runway, others want the runway, tower and some buildings and others want all buildings and a lot of other details besides the runway. In the meantime, this leads to the fact that FSCloudPort sometimes has the same airfields several times , which is not always easy to understand for newcomers.

For the future, I can well imagine a combination solution:

- IPACS first offers a tool for everyone to create airfields.

- When airfields created in this way have reached a level that is still to be defined, IPACS will transfer them (of course only in agreement with the creator) into a kind of official certified user database.

I think that is a very good plan.
