Chris, I've had some luck placing taxiways at right angles to the main taxiway to do stop-lines. Not perfect but it works. You do need the genapt from terragear-cs because the one in flightgear's cvs does not respect taxiway ordering. I'd much rather have 850 data. :) Ron ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-users
