I just committed a slightly large re-factoring of the FGNavList code,  
which means we're well and truly using FGPositioned now. I've tested  
most things locally, and everything seems to be working as expected,  
but please be vigilant for regressions or strange behaviours in the  
next few weeks. If you think something isn't right (and has got worse  
since 1.9.0!) please let me know and I'll look into it ASAP.

I spent ages yesterday testing the marker beacon code, before  
realising that the problem was data, not code - I was under the  
impression that *every* ILS/LOC approach defined all three beacons - I  
couldn't have been more wrong! What's the real-world situation here?

Please ask a more specific question.

Do you need to know something that's not in apt.dat?
(Categories 7, 8, and 9.)

Are there isolated disagreements between apt.dat and
the ground truth?

Or systematic disagreements?

Apologies for being vague. What I mean is, for example, EGPH has two  
ILS-equipped runways - 06 and 24, but no marker beacons defined at  
all. KSFO has some, but for example, 28L has an OM, while 2R has MM  
and IM, but no outer. (in nav.dat)

I've just checked my SimCharts, and apparently neither EGPH approach  
plate includes any markers, so presumably the data is right, and the  
issue is entirely my fault, for thinking that marker beacons were a  
mandatory part of an ILS setup, when they are apparently installed on  
a case-by-case basis, and not necessarily as complete sets of OM/MM/ 
IM, which again I had naively assumed.

James
