Basically it would be a program which takes as input a text file in the following format:
0_bld Plate$GroundRunwayEnd 1 154296.31 149426.29 270.00
1_bld Plate$GroundRunway 1 154296.31 149406.29 270.00
2_bld Plate$GroundTurn 1 154370.29 149360.29 225.00
3_bld Plate$GroundTaxi 1 154376.31 149346.29 270.00
4_bld Plate$GroundTaxi 1 154376.31 149306.29 270.00
5_bld Plate$GroundTaxi 1 154376.31 149266.29 270.00
...
But with numbers of lines in the order of hundred thousand.
Each entry tells il2 to place an object on the map in a certain way. For example:
0_bld Plate$GroundRunwayEnd 1 154296.31 149426.29 270.00
Place the object called groundrunwayend at coordinates (x,y)=(154296, 149426) oriented at an angle of 270 degree.
Now with different maps and especially densely populated big maps as I said it will be hundred thousands objects in such text files. So it would be good if we had a program to select for work only objects from a certain zone on the map. Like this: the program takes the big text file and the user gives a certain region on map for object selection. The programs gives as output two files. One with the objects which have coordinates inside that zone on the map. The other one with objects which have coordinates ouside the zone. Then the map builder can tale the output file and work with it in Full Mission builder. The selection zone can be a simple box determinde by two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) with x2 bigger than x1 and y2 bigger than y1.
My question: anyone willing to try writing such a program and help us the mapsters?
