Nice one Karl. And a massive thanks to @PingSpike for adding the category

[PingSpike]

Could someone with a bit of artistic talent change this icon for me please and stick an FPV drone in there instead?

Must be same dimensions, colors, etc - must also remain a transparent PNG.

Thanks

[Earwig]

Hmm…It’s tricky having so few pixels to work with.

I’m sure someone else can do better.

[DeanoG60]

Looks good to me Jez, what say you @PingSpike ?

[PingSpike]

Yup, fine by me, thanks Jez @Earwig I’ll implement it this afternoon

[PingSpike]

@PingSpike

Thanks Karl, I’ll move these ones over tomorrow

All five locations now moved to the new FPV category there Karl. I’ve also added the new marker pin icon from @Earwig too: https://dronescene.co.uk/?filter=true&region=0&category=21&permission=0&member=0

Shout if you guys have any more, or see any more from other members? We can ask them if they’re happy for us to move them too.

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene: [Bennerley Viaduct] Land owner permission requirements unknown. The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 10/09/2020.

[DeanoG60]

I guess that can be both though lol

[PingSpike]

Karl, have you spoken to Shaun @sdj_drones to see if he’s ok for his location to be re-categorised as FPV?

[Earwig]

@PingSpike

see if he’s ok for his location to be re-categorised as FPV

So, obviously the best answer would be the ability to assign a location to multiple categories, but that’s clearly a major functional change to the way Drone Scene works. I certainly wouldn’t want to be stuck with implementing that.

[PingSpike]

Yeah that’s not gonna happen

[sdj_drones]

It’s fine move to fpv

[Steviegeek]

@PingSpike
Can’t you just place two markers, say 100 metres apart on the map?
One for ‘normal’ and one of your super new FPV icons

[PingSpike]

No, sorry Steve, it’s not been built like that.

We just need more members to add FPV locations. Hint, hint
