Hello,

France has recently implemented "major sensitive zones" to protect raptors in mountainous regions.
Theses zones are depicted in pdf files and a kml file is downloadable on this webpage :
Would it be possible to have these areas appear in the Skydemon map?

Best regards

Antoine des Courtis

Hello,

The glider pilot community from www.planeur.net, with the support of the Federation, maintains a French OpenAir file that includes ZSM (Zones de Sensibilité Majeure - Zones of Major Sensitivity)


Best regards,

Frederic

Hello Antoine,
having the same need, I decided to write a script to convert the .kml file to .airspace format compatible with SkyDemon
You can download the current version here
Next version scheduled for May 6th
Hope it helps

Hello,
Just to confirm the need.
I have tried converting the French ZSM xml file to kms or guppy but SkyDemon would not load them.
Could the SkyDemon team propose a solution?
There are many bird sensitivity zones and it is very difficult to navigate without having them in our favourite navigation package.
Other pilots are able to load them in SDVFR.
Thank you
Jean-Marc
