Title: Nexstorm Placefiles
Post by: CNYWeather on April 18, 2013, 02:17:16 PM

Can someone point me to the setup so I can create places on my Nexstorm map?

I saw the format somewhere, downloaded it and for the life of me I cant find it now, either online or in the manual.

Thanks!

It comes with the 1.9 software. It is located in your doc directory.

Ah thanks. I was looking at the one online.

And I've got 2" diameter flagpole my dad gave me.Do they make 2" rings so the flag turns on the pole and doesnt get tangled?
