nav.dat and fix.dat, you can gzip them so they are called nav.dat.gz and fix.dat.gz.
To add them to flightgear, create a new "scenery directory" with the following structure inside
- Code: Select all
NavData
├── fix
│ └── fix.dat.gz
└── nav
└── nav.dat.gz
I don't know

Yes, that's right... for nav and fix I've worked with the 1100 spec and that worked fine. For the awy and apt spec you need something older. At least for the apt spec a simple patch in flightgear can make it load the very latest apt spec. One of the thing I'm going to take another look at and bring up for discussion on the mailing list in connection to the ws3 airports work I'm doing so hopefully we can soon use the latest spec for airports too.
