Hi Torsten
What are the plans now for apt.dat.gz and nav.dat.gz ? Will this prehistorical
data files still be shipped with flightgear base package 2.8.0 ? As far as I
understand flightgear is ready to read the newer formats and also the airport
scenery tools are ready to use the newer formats. And there are some tendencies
to keep this data out of the base package anyway and having a new organized
data distribution (which is my favorite).
I am still comparing 810 data with 850 data for some older airport work done by
flightgear contributors. Once this task has finished I will send converted data
to the xplane database to be integrated where it makes sense and where I
couldn't find original contributor (some airports have already been updated
meantime by xplane contributors, so it is necessary to compare every airport
and decide which one has more advanced or better data).
I think it is a good choice to go for the new data format even because
contributors are asked to send their edits to robin peels xplane datacenter
since many years. Unfortunately 810 xplane data format will not be updated
anymore, so without roadmap for a change there is only the possibility to have
a own flightgear data distribution, missing huge updates from the last couple
of years probably. On the other hand some terrasynced scenery data will be out
of data sync probably for some months with the change, but I guess this is the
part which can be updated out of core release cycles and base package anyway.
Cheers, Yves

Hi,
in just a bit more than two weeks from now we reach June, 17th, marking
the first milestone for the release of next FlightGear version: the
feature freeze period.
If you have some great and exciting new features for FlightGear on your
local disc but not yet pushed the gitorious repository - now is the time!
Two questions have to be discussed and answered until the release
branches get created on July, 17th:
1) What's the version number of the new release?
a) 2.8.0
b) 3.0.0
2) Which aircraft do we ship in the base package?
a) just the c172
b) same as before
c) [name your preferred aircraft]
3) Should we keep last year's commit policy for aircraft during the
feature freeze?
a) yes
b) no
Regards,
Torsten
