Add ILS Approach Available Option to Airport Filtering #74

Closed Lily418 closed 3 years ago

Lily418 commented 3 years ago

I thought it would be useful to have an option to filter the route to airports that have an ILS approach available. This means you can find safe routes when conditions are bad.

I wrote a script that used my little navmap navigraph database (Which imported from MSFS2020) to populate the ILS Runway data. Not sure what your current data source is and the best way to make it easy to maintain if this is data you were interested in including.

Also my database was populated by MSFS data only, any airports that are only in other simulators have not been included. This may not be a big issue as I assume larger airports with ILS are more likely to be in both with same ident but I'm happy to look at including some extra data source if this is something you would like.

The script I used to update the data https://gist.github.com/Lily418/02df70366356d124ca1ce8a50ce9be73

Thanks a lot for your contribution!

I have been working on an entirely new layer system, so I have not integrated your changes as proposed, but I got inspired by them to include a new ILS system (I have been using my little navmap data in the past to get MSFS data, I was able to extract the ILS information the same way).

The change is live in the new release v1.7.0.

Sounds great, thanks!
