Not sure where that came from.
where what came from? my question as to whether ground net files are replacing parking files?
TBH, i was surprised to find the parking files had what looked to be the same format as the ground net files... if the EDDF/parking.xml file is the old good parking and only needs a few fixups, that could be used and moved to E/D/D/EDDF.groundnet.xml, couldn't it? if that is the one that was feared lost?
it doesn't seem to be much of a loss... there's only a few rwyuse.xml files in %fgdata%... the following are those in my moved-out-of-the-way AI/Airports directory... everything else is just parking.xml files...
- Code: Select all
myuser@mymachine:~/flightgear-dev/fgdata-ng$ find . -type f -name rwyuse.*
./AI/-Airports-/OMDB/rwyuse.xml
./AI/-Airports-/EHAM/rwyuse.xml
./AI/-Airports-/LEPA/rwyuse.xml
./AI/-Airports-/KLAX/rwyuse.xml
./AI/-Airports-/KSFO/rwyuse.xml
./AI/-Airports-/KOAK/rwyuse.xml
there are no rwyuse.xml files in terrasync at all...

right... the implied question, once i discovered parking.xml was the same as groundnet.xml, have we converted the parking.xml files over to groundnet.xmls and adjusted them as needed so the old ones can be removed... i don't know where rwyuse.xml is derived from but it could/should also be renamed to ICAO.rwyuse.xml and moved to terrasync, too, shouldn't it?
in any case, at this time, i'm running FG without a %fgdata%/AI/Airports directory... only terrasync and my scenery overrides directory are providing anything Airport related and both of those are in terrasync directory tree format...
"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up."
"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."
