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.
