Title: Mexico City Airport Outline
Post by: sdlangford on November 13, 2017, 09:28:34 PM
Hi,

I am looking for an outline for Mexico City MMMX.

Active Display does not seem to have one to install.

Can anybody point me in the right direction please.

Thank you

Simon

Hi Simon
If there is nothing more detailed you might look into

http://www.rodbearden.com/RadarBox/Downloads.htm

It says for Radarbox but the outlines go for the SBS family as well

Thank you, there was a MMMX outline but it does not show up on sbs.

Not sure why.

Have you saved the .out file in your Outlines folder and checked it in BaseStation?  Settings->Display Settings->Data Files.

And keep in mind what ever you add into the folder with a running Basestation to show immediately
may need to be reloaded, see Settings > Reload > click category
since the info about a file existence is read only once at startup of BS

 think the MMMX outline has some errors within as its causing my SBS to crash and not showing up.
When I remove the OUT file SBS does not crash and no error message.

So no MMX airport outline that works yet.

There's an error in the out file which I've corrected.

I hope Rod doesn't mind me posting the corrected version here.

Tested with BaseStation.  No errors after the correction.

After looking over the file for obvious fault usually point versa comma ect.
Found yes there is an error but easy to correct.
Open the file with a text editor
just in second line replace the ( by this { bracket type .

Then go the prescribed proc, it works I have tested it and it looks good
