Hi!
Firstly, many thanks to everyone who's active on this forum, I found everything I needed so far :-) !
What I would like to do now is to create an outline file in order to display the airways around me.
Creating a file named Airways.out in Editor and copying it into the Basestation/Outlines folder didn't work.
Basestation is showing me an error message when clicking on Reload --> Outlines.
Airways.out content:
{ Airways }
$TYPE=User 1
; UL433
-12.3355+49.2841
-13.6183+50.5505
-1
Any help please :-) ?

Try with the empty lines removed. I'm not sure about the comment line... Make it as compact as possible.
Also remove the CR/LF after the last -1, it speeds up loading the file.
Welcome to the forum.
This should work:
{ Airways }
$TYPE=User 1
-12.3355+49.2841
-13.6183+50.5505
-1
One cannot include a "label" in the .out file. I removed ;UL433
You'll have to create a Waypoint file for that.
Thank you both very much for your fast replies 😊👍!
I'll try that later today!
The airway/line is drawed now as desired, thanks again :-) !
Going to add the corresponding waypoints.
I just noticed an error in the code. The $TYPE should be a number value.
The User1 value is 25, see attached. Each color option has an invisible, incremental row number. General = 1, Danger Area - 11, AIAA = 21. User 1 = 25.
If you use $TYPE=User 1 the outline will show but won't use the assigned $TYPE colour.
So you need;
{Airways}
$TYPE=25
-12.3355+49.2841
-13.6183+50.5505
-1
The outline will show but won't use the assigned $TYPE colour.

Well spotted Mike!!
Thanks!
I noted that the line colour wasn't working, my User 1 colour = dark red, but the lines were shown in the same green colour as the range rings which suited me as they don't disturb the radar screen image like that.
I now completely deleted the $TYPE= command and tested the Airway file without this command line, result: the airway lines are still showing in range ring green.
Anyway, a very lovely addition to my radar screen :-) !

I assume Basestation will default to the General colour if no $TYPE is set or it can't recognise it.
