FLY is FUN

Hi Petr

I've retrieved the attached *.kml file from http://www.flyland.ch, which seems to have the best airspace information for Switzerland.
It is prefectly represented in Google Earth, but unfortunately not imported in FlyIsFun. Is there anything wrong with the format?

Thanks for your precious work and
best regards

Hi,
Swiss airspaces in FIF are not OK?

There are indeed some issues which I'm currently about to sort out. E.g. around the area of Basel (NW Switzerland) the CTR in FIF is divided along the national border between Switzerland and France, which does not correspond to reality.
Once I have sorted out and cleaned up all these issues I would like to import the results into FIF. Of course you may have a copy then.
I'm excited about the power of FIF to deal with airspaces, but with incorrect data the fun is reduced.

At the moment the question is how to best import the resulting data into FIF. It seems, that OpenAir Airspace is the preferred format. However the format of altitudes is not fully specified in the official specification.
Can FIF e.g. read the following values:
AL 1000ft AGL
AH 5000ft MSL
AH FL130

- Do I have to specify feet or is this assumed anyway?
- How can I specify a code (besides the name)?
- How can radio frequencies be specified?

thanks and best regards

Just question. What about KML format? FIF has already implemented (it is hidden for users):

Look at the attached file.

Impotant is
<description>LSZB
05000 AGL
GND MSL
LS
D
1413</description>

LSZB - IATA code
05000 AGL top
GND MSL bottom
LS country code
D class
1413 Airac cycle

Altitude feet, FL or AGL or UNL, followed AGL or MSL. Examples:
1000 AGL
1000 MSL
GND MSL
UNL MSL
FL105 MSL

VHFs are connected to the airspaces via IATA code and there are stored separately.

O.k. I will try with KML then. Thanks a lot!

Sorry, that I have to bother you again, but your examle.kml does not import.
It says "Imported 0 item(s).

Hi,
sorry I did not see your post. What is the problem?
