WDP Kneeboard charts for Israel ITO
-
<p>Hi all,<br /><br />I’m posting here a set of updated (by me) charts for use in WDP. I used the charts from “Israel MAIP v1.0.3.pdf” sized them, made them GIFs, and named them to be compatible with WDP Kneeboards.<br /><br />The “countries.xml” contains the Theatre-specific folder i.e. “Israel ITO” - this is where WDP looks for the Airports folders. I also had to modify the Israel “Airports.xml” to use the correct names and layout (airport chart). The <name> needs to match the folder the chart is in and <layout> in the name of the chart file (without the extension).<br /><br />Now WDP Kneeboard Update should pick up the Depart/Arrive/Alternate GND Charts automatically - no browsing for files.<br /><br />Hope someone finds this useful.<br /><br />Unzip the ZIP file WDP root folder - it creates new folder/files not part of the WDP install, excepting “Airport.xml” - so back it up!<br /><br />Download: <a href=“https://1drv.ms/u/s!Am5HmozUUCrAtIcFYx8lWTQ5XJwSfw?e=3tkmY6” target=“_blank”>https://1drv.ms/u/s!Am5HmozUUCrAtIcFYx8lWTQ5XJwSfw?e=3tkmY6</a><br /><br />TANX<br />Critical<br /></p>

<p>@CriticalMass I have noticed your various threads.<br /><br />This is wonderful, what you are doing for each of these individual theatres.<br /><br />When you are finished, you should combine them all into a dedicated thread, sharing all of your links in a centralised spot. <br /><br />It would be a great… <em>(ready for this; it’s good)</em>… a great Critmass present.</p>

<p>@Aragorn Thanks for your kind words - my efforts are purely selfish :)<br /><br /><br />You are right though, I should have created a single thread, but I only had the intention of doing one, I enjoyed that so did the next one and it seemed the obvious way to post.<br /><br />With regard to more, I am constrained by the quality of the MAIP files, the three I have done are the only ones I’ve seen that have them in this format - and even Balkans Casale was a stretch, literally!<br /><br />I do seem to have got a bit of a thing with WDP kneeboards. I posted some time ago a set of KTO charts that I created (from the BMS docs) to replace the WDP ones as I noticed the WDP ones hadn’t been updated (and still haven’t) using the new naming format (
<name>_airport.png
vs the old <name>_diagram.gif) and updated layouts of <em>some</em> of the SK airports. It’s a shame WDP doesn’t read from the main installDocs\03 KTO Charts
folders, but who knows what is around the corner - though it might give me something to do in 3-4 weeks.<br /><br />TANX<br />Critical<br /></p> -
