[wwWIP] orbiter runways

[Schimz]

Hi there :hello:


Orunways will be a site for creating and sharing bases.

You can try the main functionnality, basic creating (just runways) at :

http://schimz.free.fr/orunways/

I have created a dozen base around the globe without bugs, report here if you see somes. Datas are form geonames.org, thank to them :speakcool:
Some DB entries are missing or wrong (like Irak or .xxxxx format).
Javascript is needed, best experienced with css3 navigators (Firefox, Safari, Chrome, ...). To fill easilly the form, use Google Earth with decimal degres checked in options :tiphat:


Next release planned :

• Private beta

Next planned :

• User registration
• User tools (DB saving, upload, collections, update...)
• Custom base upload (zip, usual addon form)
• JqueryUI
• Runway enhance like :

and other runways objects
(I need math helping for positioning them with magic vectoring :shifty

Speculative :

• Site api
• RSS
• Google map api
• Tweeter api

Cheers

Seems KEDW is incorrect. KEDW is ICAO code for Edwards Air Force Base in California, USA. Currently you have listed as Barns Airfield which has never been EAFB. The first name for EAFB was Muroc Army Airfield. It was renamed to Edwards Air Force Base in 1950.

Ok
Strange, Googling Barns give me Edwards : http://www.vpike.com/?d=1693358&s=CA&f=airport

Anyway, If you want altering the DB, try formating the request.

Indicate the IDAO code.
If it's a replacement, tell about the erased reference.

Like this :

KEDW
Replace:no
Modif:asciiName:Edwards Airforce Base.

or

KEDW
Replace:no
Modif:latitude:15.98458, VOR longitude:84.98741

Thanks :tiphat:

Hi Schimz,

if it is usefull for your project you can use my OSM runway export (mostly correct placed runways exportet from openstreetmap data)

http://85.214.109.248/dat/osmairports/wwb.zip

If it is more usefull for you, i can give you my self made runway export programm.
