(USA) US/Mexico "airspace" (boundary) files available
For those of you who fly in the southwest USA, I have created a new
airspace file for the US/Mexico border: OpenAir format: http://www.justsoar.com/public/opena...ico_border.txt SUA format: http://www.justsoar.com/public/sua/mexico_border.sua As usual I have some technical notes to help you sleep: * SUA (Tim Newport-Peace) supports a BOUNDARY type, but my test applications (primarily SeeYou) (1) expect the points of all airspaces to be a closed polygon and (2) do not support an explicit "boundary" type. * To address (1), I created points south of the border to create a real (closed) polygon. It looks odd on a map display but does the job nicely. * To address (2), I encoded the airspace as "Prohibited". Also, I now have a tool that translates SUA airspace files into OpenAir (txt) format. I used this tool to create the .txt versions of the above US/Mexico border file and the Luke AFB SATR (see http://www.justsoar.com/public/luke_satr/). If you have an airspace file that needs translating you can email it to me and I'll zap it for you. Go fly ~ted/2NO http://www.justsoar.com/ |

I have split the border airspace into two more manageable pieces, one
for California/Arizona/New Mexico, the other for Texas (which is a whole nuther country anyway): SUA: http://www.justsoar.com/public/sua/ca_az_nm_mexico.sua http://www.justsoar.com/public/sua/tx_mexico.sua OpenAir: http://www.justsoar.com/public/opena..._nm_mexico.txt http://www.justsoar.com/public/openair/tx_mexico.txt |

Dave:
Yes, absolutely! After there are 10 more subscribers to justsoar.com 2NO ps j/k ... I'll do the northern border as soon as it thaws out. Yo John: these are static airspace files (meaning I don't think they'll change until Texas secedes), so please feel free to put them on WWTP Exchange if you want. |
