Thank you, WoodSTokk. I understand all the steps, but like you I am confused why I don't have USMM.apt.dat.gz (I only have USMM.apt.dat and USMM.btg.gz)
When you download the file from the web airport generator, where do you extract it to?
Thanks

Ivan-Pekar wrote in Sun Nov 04, 2018 8:27 pm:Secondly, how do I compress the apt.dat file? Also, what do you mean by 'airport date'?
cd /usr/share/games/flightgear/Airports
gzip -d apt.dat.gz
cd /usr/share/games/flightgear/Airports
gzip apt.dat

But I would also like to ask:
I have now successfully uploaded many airports (many of which have been 'Approved' i.e. in green and recommended, e.g ULWW, USMU) but they are still not found in the start-up. I have also searched for many other airports (created by others), which are on the gateway and also approved, but not in FlightGear Scenery nor possible to search for in the start-up. Why? What needs to happen so that I finally can fly at my airport??!!

(Sorry it cut short at the end - when compressed, it resulted in apt.dat.gz in the same location and I just replaced it).
