@CriticalMass said in Airport Parking Charts recommendations for next work-up:
Out of curiosity, are you creating an automated process (similar to that used by @Falcas in WDP); a template for manual production (thinking about the consistency for theatre makers); or bespoke per chart?
I created a Photoshop template system (of sorts) for airport charts, for personal use (and before the WDP automated feature). I’ve previously made these charts available on the forum (Balkans, EMF and Israel).
And another question: what is the RL workflow? Do you land and park at the end of that runway or taxi to the take-off end, in prep for a quick turnaround? I’m sure the answer is “it depends”. Of course, it might also be based on the Squadron’s “home” area.
For the APC charts, it was a mixture of MC and photoshop.
For the rest, photoshop.
In the future we will avoid having this crazy amount of work again and try using more modern technologies with the use of open source platforms connected with BMS database.
Since we have to recreate ALL charts new for 4.38 (NT, different coordinates, etc.), theres no way to do it again old style.
We have it done in the past 3 years for Balkans/KTO/ITO. It was a nightmare of work and not healthy for the brain.
About your “flow” question: it depends indeed.
For ITO: where do you posted those charts? I’m interested to see them.
