We have the model in the database for some days - does anyone bother
refining a bit ? Please look here for a thumbnail:

Ok John, I will try contacting some of the authors of those POI files and
ask them permission to use them in this way. I will let

No, I've never had it included in the scenery myself.

Of course Melchior, correcting this single case will not change any FGFS
