Hi Dave. This is great work. Seriously, it's a fabulous contribution, and I'm pumped to get started using it. I have a couple of quick questions: Version 0.2.2 fixes several serious bugs in the X-Plane format writer present in 0.2.0 and 0.2.1. All users should upgrade, since X-Plane

I'm not complaining about the sloping runways - I absolutely love it! In fact that was the number one feature that stood out to me when I first tried FlightGear. Whoever did the coding (Curt?) did a great job. It's just a pain from a programming point of view to work with real values. Paul On
