LIRN Naples - tower view

At LIRN Naples airport there is only one building for now - control tower, but view point "tower" has wrong position as you can see. From view point "tower" you can see tower building itself, a little bit strange thing.

the tower seen from "tower"

The positioning of "tower point of view" is this one: if the file <ICAO>.twr.xml exists, position is taken from there, otherwise position defined in $FGFS_HOME/Airports/apt.dat is used. For LIRN apt there are in apt.dat coordinates 14.28347700 40.87964000 110 (long, lat and AGL elevation).

I took FG video assistant, positioned at desired point and discovered a little bit different coordinates.

Then, took KSFO.twr,xml as model, I wrote LIRN.twr.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<PropertyList>
  <tower>
    <twr>
      <lon>14.28541614</lon>
      <lat>40.87949709</lat>
      <elev-m>38</elev-m>
    </twr>
  </tower>
</PropertyList>

Here you are it to download LIRN.twr.xml.

It should be save in subdir of $FGFS_HOME/Scenery/Airports/ directory. Naming convention of subdirs is <first_ICAO_char>/<second_ICAO_char>/<third_ICAO_char>/. In our case complete file position is $FGFS_HOME/Scenery/Airports/L/I/R/LIRN.twr.xml. As it can be seen, now we really look from tower. I positioned point of view out of control room, onto gallery surrounding the third level room. Glasses of control room, even semitransparent, are too dark and tower structure model is textured in "easy" way, so pillars of structure, seen from inside are transparent. Ugly view. Conversely, onto gallery position with the railing in front, gives to view nice "real" effect when visual is moved.

Don't enter RED marked area! LIRN is combined apt and this is MIL part of it.

Another notch on the barrel :)
