Hi all I am recently trying to update apt.dat airport names (in all flightgear relevant data versions, means original xplane 8.10/8.50 and flightgear apt.dat). I noticed caps in names, i.e. I am changing this names to upper/lower case, and I wrote a small python script to update the names from another data source in public domain (ourairports.com).
I wish to submit this changes and updates. But I am asking you to review the different changes/possibilities of the script in a code 1 line of apt.dat : a) Same name, but to lower: Old line: '1 3141 0 1 01MT CRYSTAL LAKES RESORT' New line: '1 3141 0 1 01MT Crystal Lakes Resort' b) No shortcuts, but still <= 40 letters Old line: '1 3020 0 1 04CA GRAY BUTTE FLD' New line: '1 3020 0 1 04CA Gray Butte Field' or Old line: '1 940 0 1 0NY7 Murphys Lndg Strip' New line: '1 940 0 1 0NY7 Murphys Landing Strip' c) Same name, but marked as closed in apt.dat when ourairports says "closed": Old line: '1 250 0 1 03VA Whipoorwill Springs' New line: '1 250 0 1 03VA [X]Whipoorwill Springs' d) Take "new" names from ourairports Old line: '1 18 0 1 04W Keech\n' New line: '1 18 0 1 04W Field of Dreams Airport\n' What changes (0 or a/b/c/d) do you think are useful and will be accepted (also by developers working with apt.dat for FlightGear "side projects" like Maps, Launchers etc.) ?
