Hey, a bit of friendly competition was meant to spur you to greater
heights, not bin it :-)

It was originally intended (and is intended primarily) as a facilities
editor similar to afcad - to edit the logical networks, parking places,
circuit directions, that sort of stuff.  However, it seemed pretty
reasonable to add simple taxiway / runway editing to it since I'm
visualising them anyway.  I'm not familiar with the X-plane editor, but
yes, I'm planning on enabling editing of individual X-plane type taxiways
and runways (centre, length, heading) with the mouse and keyboard.  Not at
an individual scenery polygon level though - I'll leave that to fgsd.

Cheers - Dave
