what does mean?

It means GitHub (our repo) has your local airport, LSGY.

Btw, GitHub is always ready…

We merged all of them so that it was easier for @carmalonso and @Jonathan

The repo is now organised by countries instead of Infinite Flight regions. This a decision made by myself and Jonathan to help organisation of the repo; this is completely unrelated to any feature being developed by FDS :)

I am kind of confused on how this editing thing works. Is it literally a program on a computer that you use to edit airports?

13

Yes, it’s a program called WED.

14

The link above covers all these questions, I suggest watching Cam’s video on his website.

Sorry to bump this topic up, but I would like to start editing airports. I have a question. How do you know what needs editing in the airport? E.g. Taxi line out of place, parking spots.

Thanks

One more question. How do you add airport boundaries? Why can’t we add Blastpads either? Thanks!

19

There is a tool for airport boundaries. It’s in the tool bar some where towards the middle. I’m bot sure about the blast pads but I think they will be added later on by the admins or something.

On the runway’s end, Hit the arrow pointing away from the runway and pull it. The outline should be Yellow in colour. Thats the Blastpad/Stopway. Dont add the arrows please!
