[Flightgear-devel] FMS data file locations - proposal to avoid unnecessary duplication

[willie <wi...@gl...>]

The latest CVS of the A380 has some cool FMS functions including the
ability to use SIDs and STARs. The README calls for SID/STAR databases
to be downloaded separately and saved in $FGDATA/Aircraft/A380/FMS as
<ICAOcode>.xml.

To avoid duplication when other aircraft get FMS capability, would it
make sense to save these files in $FG_SCENERY/Airports/n/n/n/<ICAOcode>
as <ICAOcode>.fms.xml alongside <ICAOcode>.threshold.xml,
<ICAOcode>.twr.xml, <ICAOcode>.ils.xml etc?

If there are valid reasons why this is unacceptable, could these files
alternatively be saved to $FGDATA/FMS? Perhaps borrowing the /I/C/A/
structure from the scenery dirs?
