The difference between X-Plane and FlightGear, both using the apt.dat format, is that X-Plane draws the airport realtime whereas FlightGear has a precompiled/prebuilt airport-terrain display. So you might already see a changed local airport with more realistic taxiways/aprons in the apt.dat but not in FlightGear. If someone does not want to wait until the next scenery release he has to use TerraGear, but this is another story (see FG lists archive).
