Re: [Flightgear-devel] ILS problem at EDDB
Isn't this related to my report http://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg26160.html where I found issues with mismatch of runways in /path/to/fg/data/Airports/apt.dat.gz and /path/to/fg/data/Navaids/nav.dat.gz EDDB is one of the reported airports. In apt.dat.gz you'll find this row 10 52.372560 013.505561 07R 68.77 9807 . 0984.0984 148 351351 1 0 3 0.25 1 0300.0300 and in nav.dat.gz you'll find rows like 4 52.37906900 013.53301100157 11070 18 68.790 ISSE EDDB 07 ILS-cat-I I assume that the above mismatch will create the assert (now removed by James in CVS) reported by Jacob. James' fix will now simply ignore the issue of a missing runway and report some default value. It maybe that fg knows to map 07 to 07R by some magic or to xxx (there are many xxx fields in apt.dat.gz) but reading the dat files indicates that something is wrong.

It maybe that fg knows to map 07 to 07R by some magic or to xxx (there are many xxx fields in apt.dat.gz) but reading the dat files indicates that something is wrong. This is a temporary situation, because at present our nav.dat and apt.dat are out of sync - Martin grabbed a newer nav.dat to make many new fixes available, but at present FG is unable to deal with the newer X-Plane apt.dat format. Rather than expending lots of time or effort dealing with this, I made a quick-but-hopefully-sensible change to use a default value, where the runway is 'missing'. The real fix is to support the new data format, and get the data files back in sync - creating 'magic' to map 07 to 07R is address the symptom, not the cause.

James Turner wrote: [...] I consider my point of view being perfectly represented by James' response. For this particular case at EDDB they actually closed the northern of two runways in order to make room for a future extension of the airfield. Therefore the L/R-denominator became obsolete and the only active runway in this direction remains to be the 07 - this change has so far not been tracked in our current state of the 'apt.dat' file.
