11/23/2021 3:58:52MajorTom 7.4 technical locations ContentThe location of LOC antennas could be found in official documents for non FAA airports.
There are antennas that are not placed where the roughly estimate in the document says.
A better way are entering the coordinates in IF.
This also effects runway placement and adjustment of satellite images.
A explanation is found here:
https://community.infiniteflight.com/t/tips-and-how-tos-real-world-airfield-information-research-satellite-imagery-parallel-facades-extrusion/608259/7
In my opinion editing should start with placing the runways correct by coordinates to make sure that there will be no issues with a misplaced airport now and in future.

Not at this time.Approved22.1.0.1Only one can be selected currently, this may change in future updates but all towers should have a view point added. Thanks, RAH.

3/12/2022 14:14:39Siddhansh8.4 and 11.1Content- The section with the facades could use some guidance on how to correctly use facades. Some elaboration on the theory behind how facades are applied and how they can be manipulated by adding/removing/moving nodes to help new editors better understand the working of the system.

- The original dimensions (width and height that define how they are mapped on faces ) for the root images in the facades can be included so that editors can refer to it while using the facades to avoid stretched/compressed textures.

3/12/2022 14:23:36Siddhansh 11.10ContentThe hangars and terminals section mentions that nodes should be added to large buildings to avoid clipping/rendering issues, however this issue was fixed in 22.1 and hence adding nodes might not be required.No.RejectedN/AThank you for the feedback, as the guide and editor has been updated since these were suggested, they are no longer applicable.

6/28/2022 5:06:09ECoops1235.10ContentThe "Do's and Don'ts" of editing is not easily visible to all editors viewing through the document meaning the section could be a standard table, and not a drop-down list. "Use as few pieces of pavement as possible" should be a highlighted section of information as many editors have missed this and have had to redo their airports.-Under ReviewN/AThis is under review, I am hoping we will have a fix for all the tables that will then allow us to utilize this for the "do's and dont's" section. Thanks, RAH.

In this case it's about adding information about the runway shoulders.
That the width is fixed and can't be changed and that adding pavement along the runway to recreate the shoulders is also an option.

9/1/2022 5:39:49Jan4.20ContentThe manual now says this about Quality: "Select 100% - if the file needs to be smaller, consider using a lower zoom level such as z20 instead of z21."

After a lot of testing it turns out that using a setting of 50% image quality gives a virtually identical result as when 100% is used.
Yet the file size when using 100% image quality is almost 8 times larger.
A zip file created with 100% image quality and a size of 450Mb, would give the exact same amount of detail as a file created with 50% image quality that is only 70Mb and is way easier to share.

More information is in a pinned message in #sas in Discord.

3/16/2024 14:53:06brunocr981A.4.3ContentI want a note to be added explaining that reviewers are only limited to review and provide feedback on airports, and not to perform any changes themselves.

This is in response to an event raised by an editor via DM, in which he complained about a reviewer making some changes to his airport, before posting the feedback. The editor affirms that the reviewer changed some lines and uploaded the changes as a draft, without his consent.

I don't mind if reviewers make changes to airports, as long as they're small and aren't worth of sending them back to the review cycle. Notable/significant issues must always be addressed by the editor.

The note should reference the sentence that says: "Review editing quality via the "Official Review" process."
