Default (USA) airspace descriptions of state boundaries now available

Files are available for individual states, or the entire country:

http://www.justsoar.com/public/
http://www.justsoar.com/public/sua/USA.sua
http://www.justsoar.com/public/openair/USA.txt

They are not of much use for most pilots except for adding to the
SeeYou display, but a few like to have state boundary data displayed
by their PDA, and scorers with an international boundary nearby may
find them handy.

Note that the WinPilot/OpenAir(tm) format doesn't have a "boundary"
type like Newport-Peace, so I picked "Q". So every state is now a
Danger area

Hi Ted,

That is so cool! I had created an outline for Minnesota years ago and I
find it quite useful. Now I can open borders for all the states in SeeYou
by just opening the USA.txt OpenAir file in SeeYou. Very nice!

Thank you very much!

Paul,

For SeeYou I recommend using the .sua file. It treats sua's
TYPE=BOUNDARY data as "Other" in its airspace list, so you can specify
its own color and line width.

If you use the .txt version, it will plot the same as Danger, and if
you have Danger in your other airspace file(s) you won't be able to
turn it off without turning off your state borders.

Hi Ted,

I had tried unsuccessfully to use the .sua file for the entire USA.
However, upon further investigation I found that after checking the "Other"
airspace type in the Tools/Airspace window I could then see the state
outlines. It is working great for me now with the .sua file.

Thanks!
