[Kflog-user] A bug or a PICNIC problem?

[Axel Pauli]

Hi Hendrik,

I'm Axel the maintainer of Cumulus the KFLog fork for soaring navigation. I 
cannot speak for KFLog directly but one thing of you is wrong. An airspace 
Danger is coded as letter Q and not D. The following items are used for 
OpenAir airspace coding:

*  AIRSPACE related record types:
 *  ==============================
 *
 * AC class    ;    class = Airspace Class, see below:
 *     R restricted
 *     Q danger
 *     P prohibited
 *     A Class A
 *     B Class B
 *     C Class C
 *     D Class D 
 *     GP glider prohibited 
 *     CTR CTR
 *     W Wave Window

KFLog uses the following mapping according to the source code:
        ("A", "AirA");
("B", "AirB");
("C", "AirC");
("D", "AirD");
("E", "AirElow");
("F", "AirF");
("GP", "Restricted");
("R", "Restricted");
("P", "Prohibited");
("TRA", "Restricted");
("Q", "Danger");
("CTR", "ControlC");
("TMZ", "Tmz");
("W", "AirEhigh");
("GSEC", "SuSector");
   |        +- KFLog type
   +- OpenAir Type

        The mapping is coded in the source and not configureable from the 
outside. Maybe there is a bug in the mapping, that must be investigated by 
us. In Germany we have no prohibited airspaces. Can you post here on the 
list your openair file definition?

Also a Hendrik is the current maintainer of KFLog. I hope he will read your 
message too and can give you more detailed ansers to KFLog.

greetings Axel
