I'm not too motivated to write such a script, simply because there's no
benefit in it for myself, but I'd be willing to run it on The
MapServer, if it helps. Anyhow, from my perspective the solution to
the problem should be a more generic one.
First, the easiest way to get a list of airfield without ground network
would be to fetch our list of all airfield and exclude just those few !
where a ground network is available. Isn't that much cheaper than
scanning the entire World Scenery ? ;-)
Second, the "generic" solution I'd have in mind would be a completely
different one: Ask the AI system to delay the appearance of the next
aircraft as long as the startup position is occupied, sort AI aircraft
for each startup position by departure time.
I think that's a much more elegant approach and saves you from the
impractical and error-prone overhead of maintaining data about other
data not being available.
Cheers,
Martin.
