Hi, I committed the support to read new X-Plane 850 file format in flightgear. That doesn't mean that airports will look different in current scenery because TerraGear tools have not been updated yet, but this is the first step to support the format.
Here are two screenshots comparing the ground radar with the different data : http://frbouvi.free.fr/flightsim/KSBD-810.png http://frbouvi.free.fr/flightsim/KSBD-850.png The Google Maps link: http://tinyurl.com/n9khev You should notice the smooth curves in the 850 screenshot. The parser should read current data normally, and nobody should see the difference until we change the data. Please shout if you find something broken or overlooked. (actually something is broken in the 777 ground radar, but it's not me ;-) ) Curt wrote (about linear features) : > Fred, were you thinking of cutting these lines into the surface (with > hard polygon edges) or drawing them over the top like with a > glPolygonOffset() approach?

Does the .btg file format support the glPolygonOffset approach ?
