That data layer is provided by Altitude Angel, we can’t add to it I’m afraid as we don’t store it (it’s live).
I believe they’re working on something along these lines already, including methods to request permission to fly online. It might be some months away yet though.
Does the contact data need to be on the same layer as the FRZ data, The contqaact data will be fairly static over time. Or could the information be added in the same way as a new Drone Scene entry for a flying site?
A different marker, perhaps the placing of them restricted to a couple of people but the info readable by all might work?
Who to ask as well as where to fly, sounds interesting.
If it can be fed in via Altitute Angel when it goes live, it would make sense to wait, their system may be more robust. It’s all well and good giving contact phone numbers, but what if you phone and they say “you need to go to xyz.com and fill in the form at least 7 days before flying” especially as many want to know make/model/ if you’ve got insurance, exact co-ordinates etc.
Making the contact data non correct way of getting authorisation in the FRZ. Every airport seems to have it’s own way of doing things so far, especially as the way they used to do it seems to have changed, at least from some experience in the recent competition where I know myself and at least one other discovered the airport has to submit about 3 hours of paperwork at the moment.
I guess the coming soon system may be a simplified way for all the airfields/users to submit requests and authorisation
I had thought of that Ade. So each contact that I put on the map would have been verified by phoning or emailing the relevant person and ensuring that the details I gave were, in fact, the preferred way for them to be contacted.
I had intended that the actual placing of the details on the map be restricted to me alone or maybe with one or two other trusted colleagues. Any details sent to me by people who had flown in the FRZ or thought they had the correct details would also be checked and validated by me.
That’s a lot of work though. Fair play! 
I spend a lot of time at home as I don’t work and any film extra parts I get are luck of the draw… I need something to do while waiting for my 3D printer to screw up another print several hours after starting
(I keep hitting shift and typing £D printer which is probably far more accurate)
Personally I think it’s a great idea Rob.
Lot of work for someone initially, but if it means that we can be safer and save everyone some time and effort then it’s a no-brainier as far as I am concerned.

Remember this request from six months ago?
Well…
I’ve also added in a filter so you can see a map of all the places you have flown 
This feature will be made available in the next version of Drone Scene, which will be released before the end of the month.
Thinking out loud… A future version of DS might even see a league table of popular locations 
(ie. a top ten of places that have seen the most members fly there)
Someone remind me of that later please
Presumably we’ll automatically get the check box ticked if we posted the location anyway?
You may also need a mechanism to silence the notifications to the location threads e.g. when someone goes in on day 1 and marks a couple of dozen places they’ve flown?
Yes indeed, I’ve written a quick script that I’ll run at the point of launch which will back-fill all existing entries 
Funny you should say that, I had been wondering how “noisy” this will make the Where to fly your drone in the UK category in the immediate days after launching this feature to the point where I did even debate simply not having Drone Scene cross-post to the respective forum thread for the first week or so.
But then I wasn’t quite sure of the kind of numbers we’ll get in terms of how many people have flown at other existing locations 
I’m guessing it might be a low number, but if it’s too noisy I can quickly comment out one line of code that calls the forum-posting function for a week or so 
Sounds like an interesting feature - look forward to using it
As Drone Scene now has its own forum category, I’m closing this thread.
Future updates and release-announcements will be made in new threads, rather than in the middle of this 400+ long thread.
If you have any questions, suggestions for features, issues, etc with Drone Scene please fire up a new thread in the #drone-scene category
