[Flightgear-devel] lightning codes, genapts

2011-12-16 Thread HB-GRAL
Hi all Another question rised up here during my faa-data to apt.dat conversion. Does the current (or the updated) genapts take new approach lightning codes into account ? Can the scenery tools read the new 8.50 runway line already or is this still based on 8.10 specs ? Maybe I missed this poin
