BTW, when you look into this view (just as an example):

  
http://scenemodels.flightgear.org/maps/?zoom=17&lon=-122.3942281&lat=37.79346818&layers=0B0FFTTFTT

.... and click on the arrow at "One Market Plaza" right in the center,
then the bubble will show the text "(5-1116) FAA SAN FRANCISCO   CA
BLDG [N, ] 194.8m" (at least it should, because that's what is stored
in the DB).  This text is by no means just random, instead it's an
identifier which refers to the FAA obstruction database (likewise for
other countries).

This sort of obstruction identifiers (alongside with some more metadata
like the altitude at the top of the obstacle) enable us to re-use many
of these objects for an obstruction warning in a simulated FCS.  Thus,
whenever a 'generic' object is replaced by a custom model, please don't
just delete the generic object, instead, special care should be taken.

Cheers,
        Martin.
