Hi Gene
Thanks for the link. Yes, the database has a 1 or 2 months update cycle.
I think most people working with xplane data for FlightGear takes this
updates already into account for their development (I do so for many
months), also the new specifications of 8.50 version and also a lot of
other things ;-)
Recently I am checking apt.dat against current FAA data (former 8.10 and
recent 8.50 version, also used for xplane 9/10). I am working on a
native apt.dat generator based on current FAA data for the US. I guess
that is what xplane-default-database-generator for xplane apt.dat
updates does (and adding custom data), but I am just curious about my
own results. Big mouth said: Maybe this work will be useful to get a
FAA cert once for FlightGear, with a apt.dat-island based only on
’clean’ and recent FAA records, without custom xplane data, sorry for that.
Cheers, Yves

Subject: [x-plane-tech] New airport nav-aid data available for X-Plane
(2011.13)
New data is now available for X-Plane. This is data cycle 2011.13 valid
from 15-Dec-2011 to 12-Jan-2012. This data is for X-Plane 9 and for
X-Plane 10.
This update includes many minor updates, including four new airports in
China, and many new airports in the South Pacific and Antarctica. Please
note that terrain for extreme latitudes (eg. Antarctica) is not included
with X-Plane 9 or X-Plane 10. For X-Plane 9 you may download the terrain
from http://www.xpsrtm.com/ (but these old-format data files will not work
with X-Plane 10).
These files will work under Windows, Mac OS or Linux. If you wait until the
next incremental release of X-Plane 10, then this data will be installed
automatically if you use the X-Plane Updater - this avoids the need to
download my files and install the files into the correct folders - this
method is highly recommended!
As always, this new data for X-Plane 9 and X-Plane 10 is available from my
website at:
http://data.x-plane.comhttp://data.x-plane.com/
Please join me in thanking those who keep contributing to the X-Plane
database. Helpful feedback is always appreciated.
