Hi all, A little bit of amusement... ;=))
I just happened to be looking at the mapserver svn ICAO.threshold.xml files with a perl script, and found a very, VERY interesting case ;=)) Most files range in size from 468 bytes EG42, to 6,201 bytes KEDW.threshold.xml... that may be all ok... BUT then you have the massive 18 MB LSTZ ;=() That is 18,367,661 bytes to be exact! Researching a little, LSTZ (Zweisimmen) airport is a local airport (light traffic) with 1 runway, '35' and '17'... at lat,lon 46.5525022,7.380560. from one site... Then LSTZ in our 2.10 release apt.dat.gz shows a crazy 32.68,-114.63!!! While x-plane 10.00 shows 46.55,7.38, which agrees with the site... data/Scenery/Airports/L/S/T/LSTZ.threshold.xml contains about 88,760 runways ;=))))))))))))) But to be fair only 56 different runways markings... But ryw '17' and '35' are listed 225 times each... Rwy '18' and '36' are listed 25,921 times each! The bounding box covering ALL runway coordinates given in the file is approximately lat,lon min 1.99,-178.31 to max 65.81,145.88 which is MOST of the world... well at least the Northern half... Something is really screwy with this file ;=)) Hope someone can find the time to 'fix' it a little... I really wonder what fgfs does with this file when it reads it... HTH.
