------ Airport Blues - written after first 11 airports ---------

I have found a consistant bug in ASD which precludes my spending any
further time (for the present) tortuously laying out runways and
their attendant taxiways,buildings etc. Some day I will get to proper
seconds positioning.

 The TIME I DO THIS MAY BE NEVER, HOWEVER BECAUSE I CANNOT POSITION
ANYTHING WITH CERTAINTY DUE TO A BUG OR SHALL WE SAY A FAILING OF
FS4.B AND ASD TO ALLOW ANYONE TO PROPERLY POSITION ANYTHING...PER MICROSOFT,
FS WAS DESIGNED USING INTEGER MATH, AND THEREFORE IS NOT CAPABLE OF ACCURATE
PLACEMENT--- EVEN THOUGH THEY GAVE US THE ILLUSION OF DOING SO IN ASD
BY INCLUDING THE L OPTION FOR PREFERENCES .  IN PREFERENCES, YOU ARE
ALLOWED TO INPUT DEGREES, MINUTES AND SECONDS.  BALONEY!!!!! TRY THIS
YOUR SELF.  NUFF WITH THE CAPS.  Use the coordinates for Mt Holly
above by setting preferences... N lat and W long and save your position.
You will find that you have jumped to 3956/59N 7455/15W.  I tried
this 3 times setting in a runway each time.  Once I found that the
runway which I had placed 08/26 had upon reboot moved to 65.3 and its
reciprocal.  God knows how many airports and hours I spent under the mis-
taken impression ASD was accurate... I wanted you guys to have a
realistic and fun place to fly.  I have documentation on another
airport that had the same problems, but it is 12:30 now and I am
tired and disgusted.  I hope you can use the area with some
enjoyment-right now I am totally joyless.  I will include the other docum-
mentation on a previous airport at some other date. -CH
------------- end of the blues ----------------
 Next Release of Lakewd? 

Probably at least 10 more airports, but the file is already 36081 so
I am debating on whether to start another file for overlapping this
one to the north...We shall see.

11-10-90
12.  Miller redo runways were off 20 degrees... It seems that if you use
the Nlat-Wlong instead of the fs coord system, you end up with dubious
placement and runway bearings.  Lakewd3.zip redid Miller Airpark ... 
After finding airport off...I landed on what was supposed to be 6 and 
found it to be 4 (40 degrees... this is the third time I have redone it... 
the compass in the scenery designer has to be off).
 After re-doing the runway and taxiways... with runway set to 39.03 
-as close as I could get, I find now the runways said 06 but were 
actually 04... I am sick of this!!!!!
I added Atlantic City 3927-4N -7434/6 W
Hammonton 3940/0 N - 7445/4W
and Manahawkin 3942/0 N - 7416/6 W,  all of which are probably off too; 
I am too tired to check now... I am PISSSSSED!!!!
11-14-90 added Beacons (50 foot towers) to Allair,Lakewood,Hammonton and
Miller. You will need CF19 and CG21 to locate beacons and airports. 
They are both available at just about any bookstore that carries aviation
books. For those of you that don't want to get the charts...you are not
serious about
flying-but...here are a few tips...
11-15-90 Added Lumberton (Flying W) 3956/0N - 7448/4W
Cross Keys 3942/3N - 7502/0W and Started Mt Holly (South Jersey Reg.)
3956/5N - 7450/7W.
11-21-90
 Added Weird JFK 13 circular als approach.  Starting at just
below the  Manhattan bridge on the East River, you will find an right turning secquence
of als lights... just allign with each one, and You will find
yourself at JFK rwy 13...

11-22-90
I went thru the laborious task of totally re-doing all the NJ navaids
listed in the Flight Guide by Airguide Publications.  The reason for
this was not so much being a stickler, as totally documenting the
deletion of bad and insertion of bad coordinates.  As you will
recall, I messed up by interpreting the minutes and tenths of minutes
coords in the Flight Guide as minutes and seconds ie:
I thought the coords for Woodstown VOR 39 degrees 38.2 minutes meant
39 degrees 38 minutes 2 seconds-an error of 10 seconds.  At the
worst, the interpretation of 40 degrees 50.9 minutes (Teterboro N
Latitude coords as 50 minutes 9 seconds would give an error of 45 seconds.
Now I figure the world is around 24500 miles at the equator, and if
there are 360 degrees in a circle, 24500/360 should give us the
number of miles per degree.  The answer using those figures is 68.06
miles per degree, or 1.13 miles per minute and that is at the
equator.  If you figure we are at approx the 40 degree latitude, I again
guestimate that the error at this latitude would be somewhere around
half that 1.13 mile per minute figure or 6 tenths of a mile.  Lastly
the max error (45 seconds) times .6 miles or .6x45/60 gives us about
3/4 mile max error.  I know this seems like piddling shit, but 1. I
wanted to put in the exact coords as per an authoritative manual 

-NOTE- I WILL BE USING THE FLIGHT GUIDE CONVENTION OF DEGREES,MINUTES
AND TENTHS OF MINUTES FROM NOW ON... I WILL CONVERT TO SECONDS FOR PLACEMENT
OF AN OBJECT WITHIN ASD... YOU DO THE SAME OF YOU USE THE FLIGHT GUIDE!

and;

2. I wanted to document the placement and double check as I did it.
This was done with the following glaring errors.
	a. Patterson -PNJ-radio beacon (rbn) at ndb 347 had been
	omitted- it is now there at 4056.8"(48 seconds)N - 7409.1"
	(9" 6 seconds). [you will note here that I am using the
	actual degree mark in the text... it's asc 248 -Hold down 
	alt and type 248 on the numeric keypad then release-dunno if your 
	printer will support it-but it can be seen on screen.-just 
	discovered it...thanks to Sidekicks ascii table-ch]
	b. Robbinsville -RBV-VOR 4012.1"N - 7429.1" frequency was
	erroneously entered as 113.05 instead of 113.8. It has been 
	corrected.
	c. Woodstown OOD-VOR 3938.2" N - 7518.2"W frequency was
	erroneously entered as 111.8 instead of the correct 112.8.
	It has been corrected.
11-23-90
added Philadelphia INtl 3952.2"N - 7514.7"W -but this time only
added the runways... not taxiways... saved, and sure enough the 09
runways read 09 but were actually 76.  I redid them by rotating to
proper angle then saved again... this time they seem to have stuck.
-Added  Dupont VOR which will be the location for New Castle County airport.
I used this VOR AT 3940.7"N - 7536.5W to give me a place to shoot vector
for the Deleware River to the Deleware Bay and Philadelphia. So the
Deleware River now goes to Phili and parallels rwys 09L and r.
I also loaded the sd7 disk for grins, and found lo and behold that
Philadelphia was there but 8 miles off to the north north east.  The
scenery is prettier, and I just might blank out SD-7's Philadelphia
Int. and make mine work with SD-7 but accurate.  The Delaware at
Philly is also more than several miles off to the east... garnered
this because sectional shows the river passing just a smidge to the
east of 9 right.  I'll fill in the taxiways and buildings when I go
back to it and make SURE ASD hasn't played with me again.  Heading
North next.

-Complete redo of Atlantic City Int. 3927.4" N - 7434.6" - I noticed
Ils was missing...was there at some ver... anyhoo added ils on 13 and
inner, middle, and outer markers.  This ver of Atlantic City is definitely
the most comprehensive and most accurate... funny, a lot of wierd
little taxiways and buildings, but the screen rate on ils approach is
just fine... no shakeyness at all.
11-26-90
finished Trenton Robbinsville 4012.8 N - 7436.1W
Trenton Mercer County 4016.6" N 7448.8 W Runways... I'll come back
tomorrow and check to see if the alignment stayed the same.  By the
bye I added 4 runways in a wagon wheel at 40N - 74W at 30
intervals as kind of a test bed yesterday... they were within 5/100
of a degree when I placed them at 0-180,30-210,60-240, and
90-270. They better by God be right...scared to check... 

11-28-90 Matawan- Marlboro 4021.9"N - 7415.2W -see above for
Matawan-Marlboro base.mod

11-29-90 Added the following runways only
Andover Aeroflex 4100.5"N - 7444.3"W
Blairstown       4058.2"N - 7459.8"W
Caldwell Essex   4052.5"N - 7416.9"W
Lincoln Park 	 4056.8"N - 7418.9"W
Manville Kupper  4031.4"N - 7435.9"W
Mt. Holley	 3956.5"N - 7450.7"W - Did this to prove my previous
Mt. Holley folley...I reproduced the errors.
I went to preferences "L" and put in the following :

3956"30 sec 7450"42 sec and found that after I hit return and saved,
hit esc then chose g for runway add, I was at 3956"30 sec 7454" 27 sec!
I then tried to re-adjust W eastward but the W coord jumped from 7454"27
sec to 7450"13sec.  I tried to go back west and it jumped from 7450"13sec
to 7454"27sec.  In the mean time the Lat had changed to 3956"05sec.  I
went back north again to adjust toN 3956"30sec and W had changed to 
7454"38sec.
I tried readjusting W eastward again and when I got to 7454"22sec it
jumped to 7449"56sec - readjusted westward again and it jumped to 
7454"22sec.  Now maybe I am crazy, but I believe there is supposed
to be something between 49"56sec and 54"22sec... donchathink?
-this information was redone and duplicated from an earlier try... I
am now officially documenting it,dammit!
12-1-90 Detail Blairstown and Caldwell.  Both rwys ok on angle.
12-8-90 OOOOPS I left out Morristown! Sorry about that Kids-It's
there now - detailed.
12-13-90 split lakewood into 2 parts both with 50 mile radii one
centered in the north at Kupper and the other centered in the south at Ham-
monton. I did this by going to each respective area by N W Coords,
hitting the 0 key for coord pref and setting to fs4 NE coords since
ASD required the center in FS4 NE Coords.  I deleted all within a 50
mile radius and saved the file with the name opposite to the area I
had deleted.. ie; I went to Hammonton, deleted a 50 mile radius and
saved the file as Northjer.  I did the converse with Kupper.  There
is an area of overlap of about 40 miles around lakewood.  The overlap
area is duplicated.  
12-14-90 I put in a circular race track just northeast of Matawan Marlboro
starting on a 000 head.  Can't miss it... I will include a race.mod.
12-16-70 I noticed that Lakewood Airport was a lot slower than it
needed to be for the little scenery in the immediate area.  I found
with some playing around that several of the roads, buildings and
polygons had somehow duplicated themselves.  I found this when I
wanted to redefine a polygon and found when I had all off but
polygons in the edit mode, that locating the closest (another story
along with tabbing to the next!!!) did not produce a flashing object.
I deleted anyway, and lo and behold the object was still there.  I
selected nearest object again, and the sucker I originally wanted flashed!
I have to assume, that the former delete was that of an exact
duplicate of the object in question.  I found this to be the case for
the cars, buildings and other 2 polygons (the parking lot, and the
plane tie-up area.  What gives Microsoft/BAW???  I have not checked the other
airports yet, but I now have reason to expect duplicates elsewhere!
- On the Tab to next Find nearest; BAW-Why the #@$$ can't we go to the 
next nearest object??? Why does the editor jump back to the same object 
when we use Find nearest object even when we displace the cursur WAAAAAY 
faaaaar awaaaay from another object that we DON"T want to edit???  
If there is some sort of handle, and I suspect there is for objects, 
how bout showing us where the dickens it is when we are in the edit mode???  
I found a handle for a convoluted taxiway I did a while ago to be somewhere
along the imaginary hypotenuse of the obtuse angled taxiway I was trying to 
delete- I just found the handle by luck.
12-18-90 detail Princeton 
best race,,, 
date          	time   	speed   points  
12-18-90	371.1	138	463
12-22-90 Complete redo and detail of Belmar Allair -Northjer only.  I
haven't figured out how to incorporate this into Southjer, since it
lies in the overlap area of Northjer and Southjer.  If you fly in
from the south, you will see a rather ho-hum 2 runway representation.
From Northjer, it is complete.
12-23-90 Felt like doing some nite-time cross country using CF-19
sectional, and in doing so, I thought I would check in at EWR having
stopped at Belmar/Allair, Marlboro Matawan.  I have always hated the
jerkiness of EWR, and just for grins went into the editor to see what
gives.  Guess what folks?  Everything except the two terminals was duplicated!
So.... I turned off everything save runways and chose "choose
closest", ... the runway did not flash on and off (this is the clue
for dupes... if the object is an original, then if you choose it, it
will flash on and off-if a dupe, then you will see nothing, even
though you have obviously picked something-no on-off flash.  I chose
5 delete and badaboom "SOMETHING  was deleted...." I chose Choose
nearest again and this time the runway flashed off and on.  I
deselected and pondered the sitiashun.  The apparent reason EWR is so
jerky is that there are duplicate objects throughout.  I am debating
deleting all of the roads -read taxiways and doing a proper job this time.
I wonder how many other objects are dupes in my sc1 files... wouldn't
it be nice to be able to purge dupes!!???  It sure would save us a
lot of head aches.  Now regarding the overlay area.  According to my
calculations, it can be roughly visualized as an almond shape with the
ends at approximately 400'N 7345'W on the East and 4020'N 7540'W.
It extends from Hammonton in the south to Princeton in the north.
                         

                         -  Princeton -
                       -                 -
    Pottstown/Limrick-       OVERLAP        -   Atlantic Ocean approx 15
                      -                   -       mi ESE of Point Pleasant 
                        -             -
                           Hammonton

Again, according to my calculations, the airports in the overlap area
should be:

Camden County,South Jersey, Red Lion, Flying W,Lakehurst,Trenton,Lakewood,
Miller, Allair,Philadelphia.
1-19-91  Laemming,

After trying your wonderful see prog, I found that it
would not take all of the 417 buildings in Northjer.sc1.  You
promptly responded with a see01a ver which did in fact take all of my
objects.  However upon executing my little test file "lakewd1.dat, I
found that the little skid marks on Lakewood rws 24 and 06 were
offset 7.  I corrected the rw24 and off set 06 in the opposite dir,
but that seemed to augment the prob on 06.  I probably don't
understand the N relationship, but I am sending the files to you
to check it out.  Thanks. 
                  Chas
1-20-91 Laemming repsonded with a big Giftee.  Apparently, fs has
some magnetic anomalies, or the fs world does.  I found that if I did
as he suggested, namely aligning the fuel-box base of the F and
reading off my Compass, I would find the "FS true north.  I did so
at Lakewood and found north to be -yup you got it 7!!!  I did the
same at Allair ( Belmar) and got 22!!!! I adjusted for the same and
everything came out hunky dory at both airports.  The question is,
why the hell is Lakewood 7 and Allair, only about 10 miles north
north east 22???   Mr. Artwick, do you have any clues???
-Thanks again Laemming, tho I would love to have an open hanger like
in the WWI scene, 'cause Allair has a big one with open sides, only a
top, at its refueling area.  I would say 200x100 by 50 feet high
would about get it....huh?...Huh?.. Huh?...
Sh_t! it's 12:50 am, and I have to put in a bran spankin new network
in at work tomor.... er TODAY!  GNITE ALL!...zzzzzzzzzz

Now here's a thought - 
All those objects/airports within the overlap SHOULD duplicated due
to the overlap Northjer and Southjer.  But what about EWR which is
definitely in the Northjer file and NOT in Southjer?  Why was it duplicated?
I will check around and see if anyone else has some answers.-yawn.
              




Happy flying!-CH

All the above corrections appear in lakewd7.zip  Well it's past 12:00
again guys and girls, and my wife is waiting for someone to snuggle
with, so adios for now...

1. Lakewood is 40 miles south of NYtour on course of 220. You will hit
Newark then Allair then Lakewood.  Look for the Condo and you will be 
Just N of Lakewood Airport-a note here... I took the liberty of adding a 
control tower, a no-no that I only did here, since it is my home base, and I
liked the tower view.  Lakewood is a NON-controlled
airport... the TPA is 850'.

These files will only work with Flight Simulator v4-4.b AND the Microsoft
 Aircraft and Scenery Designer.  The locations were input from eyeballing
(guessing where to put the George Washington Bridge based on CF-19 NOAA
Chart), the same but with more accurate placement for about 10 vertical
obstructions also based on referencing the grids of the CF-19 and CG-21
 Aeronautical Charts so the position is not off by more than seconds;
 and the Flight Guide-Airport and Frequency Chart rev/3/90.

While I found more than several glitches in the AFS program,such as lockup
with mouse input, over all the tool is wonderful, and finally gives us
a powerful and broad means of inputting our own scenery.  In the scenes
below be sure to set the "memory configs" to 35 k or better I would
suggest 64 K to allow you to add more.
What do we need now???

1. Any good / great movie is that way by dint of a lot of things, but
ALWAYS A GREAT SOUND TRACK... TAKE A HINT FROM MICROPROSE AND GIVE US
SOME SOUND SUPPORT MICROSOFT-BRUCE-ARTWICK ORGANIZATION.
2. WHEN YOU SLEW TO SEE YOUR DESIGN AND CHECK THE LAYOUT ACCURACY, THE
SLEW SHOWS POSITION IN FS N-E COORDS EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE N-W COORDS IN AFS.
3. When editing even though you turn off all other appropriate editing areas
(roads,navaids,buildings, etc) when asking for the closest object you quite
often jump to some other object within the same category, and when you
tab to the next object, you are taken back to the beginning of your object
class-a bitch if you have a lot of objects.

 --Nuff complaints, BAO and Microsoft Have a real winner
here!!!







Note: 1. You may not have enough memory with the 64 config to
load the "glass cockpit"... you will have to experiment.
Please address comments and or corrections to the above
address or this board.
      2.   I laid in the proper headings finally realizing that the
Flight Guide in giving its coords for the airports gave the final 2 
digits in tenths of minutes instead of seconds as required by ASD.
I discovered this flaw in my positioning fairly early on... 
somewhere around Atlantic City Badger.  For that I apologize.

             Enjoy,
             Charlie
