Bah! Screw easier navigation! Nothing that a "pwd" can't solve.
I have now a strong preference for this:
Airports/K/S/F/O/{parking,tower,threshold,whatever}.xml
Please not "twr.xml"! We can really be generous and spend two
vowels. And let's not throw KSFO and KSFX (or whatever) together,
with more encoding in the file name. They have no relation apart
from the first three letters. Another dir level should be cheap,
and the directory is far nicer to assemble that way:
var root = string.normpath(getprop("/sim/fg-root")) ~ "/Airports/";
var dir = root ~ string.join('/', split('', icao)) ~ '/';
var tower = io.read_properties(dir ~ "tower.xml");
debug.tree(tower);
The question is, however, if we don't want to put all airport
data into one file, in which case the fourth dir level would
be superfluous.
