Correct, on all these points. > It maybe that fg knows to map 07 to 07R by some magic or to xxx (there > are many xxx fields in apt.dat.gz) but reading the dat files indicates > that something is wrong. This is a temporary situation, because at present our nav.dat and apt.dat are out of sync - Martin grabbed a newer nav.dat to make many new fixes available, but at present FG is unable to deal with the newer X-Plane apt.dat format. Rather than expending lots of time or effort dealing with this, I made a quick-but-hopefully-sensible change to use a default value, where the runway is 'missing'. The real fix is to support the new data format, and get the data files back in sync - creating 'magic' to map 07 to 07R is address the symptom, not the cause.
