[SUGGESTION]: Use GeoJSON format for import/exports

Open jkhoel opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

I love all the tools and applications people develop for DCS. The only problem is that everyone wants to use their own proprietary file-format making exports between the various problem a pain.

There is a format developed specifically for sharing map data, called GeoJSON and it is not too far off from what I see in the cauc.json/pg.json. I would strongly suggest to use this format instead, as this format is supported also in a lot of more professional applications (like Google Earth). There are also libraries for converting between GeoJSON and other well-known formats, like KML/KMZ both for JavaScript, Python and most other popular languages, making the use of programs like DCSWaypointEditor as part of a workflow much more efficient.
