XCSOAR - MAPGEN Not Working
I tried last night but was having network problems. Maybe this will
work for you as it worked for me last year. Use at your own risk. Driggs Terrain Database https://www.dropbox.com/s/ag91ji08wpfycj9/Driggs.xcm?dl=0 Sorry, I don't have the other one.

XCSOAR - MAPGEN Not Working
Thanks DD, I have the Wind River map, but Driggs is at east edge of that
one. Generally running TopHat on a Nook, it's started requiring multiple reboots during long flights this year. I fully understand and appreciate it's free software, but it's getting to be less useful than it used to be. -Dave On Thu, 30 Jul 2015 22:07:14 -0600, Dan Marotta wrote: I was at Driggs last year and made this map file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ag91ji08wp...riggs.xcm?dl=0 It worked for me last year, use at your own risk.

Great support IMHO considering it's free! The minutes have turned into months, and apparently even the pre-made maps are unavailable. Anybody have Driggs ID and Parowan they could send me? |

Anybody have Driggs ID and Parowan they could send me? It would be interesting to find out how these things are made. They do seem to be a zip file, but I'm not sure exactly what goes in there. It would be nice to encode sectional charts, e.g. The map files for XCSoar are XCM archives containing: 1. ESRI shape files (roads, rivers, cities, etc.) 2. A topology file to describes which shape files are available and how to render them (line thickness, point size, colour, etc.) 3. A waypoint file in CUPS format 4. A DEM raster map in JPEG 2000 format with accompanying world file. All data is in the WGS84 datum. One could easily use standard GIS processing software to generate your own ESRI shape files and add custom layers like sectional charts. It just takes some time and tinkering. Some info of what goes into the XCM map files and : http://forum.xcsoar.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=918 Maybe I should set up another mirror for generating maps since XCSoar without maps is a deal breaker. |
