I suggest using [JOSM](https://josm.openstreetmap.de/) with the pbf plugin. + +If you got your data from there (Just save a layer with OSM data to the osm.pbf format) you can use the following Command currently: + +```shell script +$ OSM_to_Euroscope taxiways -a=<ICAO ID OF YOUR AIRPORT> -i=<THE OSM DATA FILE> +``` + +This command will generate the GROUND layout of the taxiways to a file named `<ICAO ID OF YOUR AIRPORT>.ese` inside the out folder. + + +## WARNING!! THE QUALITY OF THE RESULT HIGHLY DEPENDS ON THE QUALITY OF THE MAPPED DATA! + +## Tips for better results + +1. Merge as many line parts as possible of one taxiway +2. Atleast keep the Lines all oriented in the exact same way as otherwise Euroscope gets confused +3. You might need to manually connect paths to make them look real. ***DO NOT!!*** make curves like in real life as it confuses Euroscope currently in the way the data gets generated by this script. Use straight connections for now! +4. Make sure the lines are correctly tagged. (`aeroway = taxiway` and `ref = <TAXIWAY IDENTIFIER (like D1)`)
