Tacview Runways Add-on

[TekaTeka]

Using Tacview's static objects function, I added the runways to the 3D terrain.

EDIT: Now the glideslopes add-on is available, too.

 

 

 

DOWNLOAD Runways Add-on (ZIP 2KB)

DOWNLOAD Glideslopes Add-on (ZIP 3KB)

 

To install, copy the "Data" folder (and its content) to where Tacview.exe is.

The file structure will be like below:

 

Tacview.dat

Tacview.exe

Data\StaticObjects\Runways.xml

Data\StaticObjects\Glideslopes.xml (Optional)

 

The runway objects are transparent cubes.

The cube bottoms are the actual runway surfaces.

I made some cubes heights very high to make the runways under the 3D terrain visible.

 

The glideslope cones are angled 3 degrees and have 0.2° height (+/- 0.1°) and 0.4° width (+/- 0.2°).

The length is 17km which is the approximate distance to the IAF.

 

I hope you like it.
