Airfields
Cumulus can use two different sources
openAIP and
Welt2000 as
airfield database. The default is Welt2000, which is also automatically
downloaded, if it is missing or was updated. Welt2000 has stored all data
in one file. openAIP uses one file per country. The advantage of
openAIP is, that you can bring in directly your own contributions or
corrections on their webpages at
www.openaip.net. The disadvantage is, you have to download all the needed
airfield files by hand because you need an account to login there and
you have to accept their license policy.
-
Source
- In the source box you can select the airfield source
(openAIP / Welt2000) to be used. There are different forms provided
for every source. In the headline of the form you can see the link to
the appropriate webpage.
-
Welt2000 - Country Filter
- Here you can define the countries to be read from the
Welt2000 file. Several countries can be entered as a list separated
by commas or spaces. The country identifiers have to be coded
according to ISO-3166. If you define countries here, you do not need
to do the same in the configuration file of welt2000.conf. The
definitions from this GUI page will override the FILTER rule in the
configuration file.
-
Welt2000 - Radius Filter
-
As an alternative to using the country filter, you can define a
radius around your home position. All airfields lying inside this
radius will be read from the Welt2000 data file. This option is only
available when no country filter value is given. If the radius is
zero, then a default radius of 500 kilometres is assumed.
Please Note! If the home position is too far away from
the area defined by the filter or radius values, no airfield data
are shown on the map.
-
Welt2000 - Load Outlandings
-
If the check box Load Outlandings is activated, all outlanding
sites contained in the selected region will be loaded too.
-
Welt2000 - Install
-
Cumulus can download the Welt2000 file containing the airfield data
from the relevant Internet web page.
Note, if Cumulus is in motion no download is carried out.
-
Welt2000 Data Reload
- After a download or a change in home position or
configuration, Cumulus will trigger an automatic reload of the
Welt2000 data.
-
openAIP - Radius Filter
-
All airfields lying inside your home position radius will be read
from the openAIP data files, which are selected on the load page.
Please Note! If the home position is too far away from
the area defined by the radius value, no airfield data
are shown on the map.
-
openAIP - Load
-
Pressing the Load button opens a table showing the loadable
openAIP airfield files. If
Select all is checked, all files are loaded by Cumulus. If you
want not to load all, deselect as first the checkbox
Select all. Only then you can make single selections of
airfield files. If you select a whole table row, you can remove the
selected data file by pressing the trash button. In the headline of
the table you can see the file directory.
In the List Display area you can define some general list properties
applied to airfield, waypoint, reachable and other lists.
