Atlas connects to FG, shows scenery and all navaids, but no airports at all (no names, no symbols, no runways)
For Atlas I set fg-root to point to FG data folder, also tried a separate folder for Atlas with all necessary contents copied over. Same result.
The previous setup of FG 0.9.10 on 32 bit Vista and same Atlas 0.3.0 works fine.
I do not see what to try next...
Any hint appreciated.
The format for the airports file (apt.dat) has changed, and Atlas 0.3.0 can't read it. This leaves you with 3 choices:
(1) Apply a patch and compile Atlas yourself (the patch is given in an earlier topic in the Atlas forum, although I can't remember which one at the moment)
(2) Use the old apt.dat instead of the new one. I don't know if this will break FlightGear though (note that the file is usually compressed, so it's probably called apt.dat.gz). It might even be possible to make Atlas use the old apt.dat file while FlightGear uses the new one.
(3) Wait for Atlas to get fixed.
