It's probably a database problem, and maybe not so much a problem of assigning the wrong type but rather lack of a proper model: http://fgfsdb.stockill.org/ FlightGear's looking great, by the way -- congrats to everyone who's been working on it. I agree, but every time I say so not long thereafter a developer bashing inferno starts so I'll keep it quite this time.

In Canada, all obstacles appear as radio towers. I'm guessing that there isn't enough information in the database to tell whether an obstacle is a tower or a building. Still, it's good to have them there at all. I'm very impressed with your database, Jon (and sent you a CN tower for Toronto by private e-mail earlier today).

There are however a few lone electrical towers where there should be stacks. Josh --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!
