It is not in specs of xplane 8.50 apt.dat version, but I found - 5935 Heliports are marked with [H] in the the name - 568 Seaports are marked with [S] - 2 Gliderports are marked with [G] - 36 Airports closed are marked with [X] in apt.dat (called xplane apt.dat 9.00 or so, but still based on 8.50). We are on flightgear of course, but I will try to submit my changes to original data too, so I need to keep my eyes open to what xplane uses. Also the deprecated row in airport line still exists in xplane data >= 8.5 (but still not used in xplane I guess). I decided to mark the closed airports in apt.dat now with "[X]" in name, to keep it in line with xplane without using the deprecated row. Another reason to use [X] and not "closed" might be the length of the name: I have only 40 chars for the airport name, so adding the word "closed" will give me more lines with wrong count I guess. The result of current processed apt.dat is: - Cleaned 62 airport lines with wrong count of chars in elevation row (minor cleaning) - marked ~100 airports as closed with [X] at beginning of airport name, changed name to upper/lower when needed, state based on ourairports.com data - changed 3001 airport names to upper/lower, NO OTHER change in name for the moment You can find the changed apt.dat here: http://download.fgx.ch/data-update/20111211-apt.dat.gz When you find the time, please have a look to this changes. Now how should this go to the repo ? Should I start to send merge requests to fgdata ? Martin ?
