This is an open inquiry.
I'd like to practise my terrain texture generating by looking at some legacy addons with good runway and taxiway modeling (specifically, those based on real airports such as [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2766"]SFIA[/ame]).
As these bases do not have surface tiles, their positions may need to be shifted to match the actual ground position displayed in the terrain texture (derived from sat imagery). This is due to scaling issues between Orbiter and the real world, as explained by base developer WHAP way back in 2008.
The problem is getting permission to move these bases by contacting the original authors - I have no idea if user "jer10" is still active in the Orbiter community or even a registered user on OF.
What are the rules of engagement?
