Hi John, I think I might have generated the current version of fix.dat. I can't remember OTOH exactly what I did, but it would have been some combination of DAFIF data, FAA ATA100 data, and possibly Robin Peel's (xplane) fix data. IIRC, Robin's fixes were derived from the (no-longer available) DAFIF, and I added the FAA ATA100 data since it had a lot of important fixes missing from the DAFIF that are used for GPS instrument approaches, such as for Half Moon Bay in the default area. I think, but am not sure, that I then sent the list of missing fixes for Robin to merge into his data. The best way to keep the data updated would be to feed improvements to Robin Peel (http://x-plane.org/home/robinp/) and then pull his updated data periodically.
