Tutorial on how to convert 2010 bases to 2016 bases

[Lucy]

Thanks for sharing. What makes me gasp more than that it is git controlled, though, is that it is GPL

GPLv3, no less. :thumbup:

Hm, yes, good point. Orbiter does infer the ranges from the [lvl,ilat,ilng] indices of the tile, rather than the values stored in the file. Nonetheless, I should write the correct values to the header files, if only as a sanity check, even if they are redundant.

This current "lack of enforcement" actually helps to move elv file to a different location and rename it. Not sure how practical, but may be helpful when learning tiles or debugging something. If the indices and/or coordinates will be embedded in a tile, they better not be enforced too tight, to allow for some cheating

We really need a detailed step by step tutorial on this.

The user mxk posted the Bulgaria airports 2016 addon a couple of weeks ago.

There is a guide.pdf included, showing the base creation process step by step, using existing addons for Orbiter 2010 (Orbiter Base Maker, SurfTileCalculator) and Face's OT3 for the 2016 conversion.
