max3max replied to the thread Adding taxiway signs to existing airports.
@chrispriv awesome, the sign heights look great with your custom elevation. Is there a way to automate generation of such elevation tiles for desired locations?
Jet-Pack, as ApfelFlieger said, each sign is a separate object, but autoheight places them on a wrong elevation mesh. It seems that autoheight for custom POIs is using same elevations as displayed on Location screen (which in turn seem quite similar to SRTMGL1 dataset), but actual in-game airport elevation is different. Is there a way…

Hi all,
@ApfelFlieger and I have been working on a method to add taxi signs to the existing airports, and we made some good progress. I have made a converter for crowd-sourced sign data from Xplane Gateway, to make it suitable for conversion to TMB POI files. You can see some of the results in the attachments, taxi signs for Zurich [URL:https://limewire.com/d/4JOZ5#icoa5cOKQx], Basel and Geneva airports (latter 2 are attached); those should be installed in the custom scenery/poi folder (e.g.…

There is a way to use motion controls in VR instead of holding your arms in the air or using imprecise controller stick - same as the "ergonomic" mode in Xplane. You grab/ungrab yoke or stick by pressing a button on the VR controller and control the plane by tilting your wrist up or down for pitch control, and rolling it for roll control. There is no need to hold your arms in the air, which is very tiring; you can rest them on your desk or legs. (and fly comfortably for hours this way)

Added automatic generation of origin and destination airport diagrams to be flipped through together with radio log.
max3max posted the thread FinalCallATC - working open source AI ATC.
So, I have created an AI ATC for Aerofly :). It integrates with avionics panel in Cessna 172 and Baron 58 (for now, can be used in other planes with less functionality), works both in VR and flatscreen, on Windows and Mac (wihout some functionalities). It is available at https://github.com/max8938/FinalCallATC
Functionalities:
- AI ATC (all services), working on actual airport frequencies (origin and destination airports from the active navigation plan).
- Communicating with ATC using voice…
