What shoule the OBJCECT_XYZZZZ be??? You wouldn't be happy with the results. TerraGear cuts a hole in the scenery exactly the size of the airport to avoid bleedthrough; if you try to place an airport manually, you'll have to make sure it's well above any of the terrain underneath. > Runways are in a sepperate file called default.apt That's the data TerraGear uses to generate them, but not the objects themselves. It would be a *very* useful addition to FlightGear if runways could be generated on the fly from default.apt.gz when a tile is loaded rather than at scenery-building time. It's quite doable (X-Plane works that way), and it should run fast enough that the user barely sees a different in tile-loading speed, but it will be a bit of a job.
