Default how to create new cub file for Seminole

LX Nav requires a .cub file format for airspace. We need to create a .cub file for Seminole so that we have the Disney World TFR area not shown on standard airspace data files. I have tried to make one with SeeYou Mobile but once made I can't find the file. Anybody able to either make this for me or tell me how to make it?


If you do not have SeeYou you can download
LXasBrowser http://www.lxnavigation.com/software/
and use the following instructions to convert airspace text files to cub files:
1. FileOpen. Select an airspace text file OpenAir or Tim Newport Peace. It will look like nothing happened, the screen will be blank. Don't panic, go to the next step.
2. DataNew or DataAdd, The screen will display a list of airspaces defined in your text based airspace file.
3. ViewAirspace. A window will display airspace picture.
4. Right clickInvert Selection. This selects all the airspace in the picture.
5. Right clickTransform selected. A dialog window will appear.
6. Name the airspace and click ok. LX5000 would only display eight characters on the start up screen LX9000 may allow more characters for your airspace name.
7. Name and save your airspace file. The only format available will be SeeYou binary cub file format.

Using this program you are able to edit the individual airspaces and the text that is displayed. You can do this in the original airspace text file but you have to be knowledgeable on the text format parameters.

One thing you need to keep in mind is that the file that is used to determine compliance with contest rules is the one used by the contest scorer and that file is usually one that can be downloaded from the Leibacher site.
