The new airports are a definite improvement.

I would vote against something entirely new. PPE can already read and
write ATG and Norman has it even integrated into fgfs. I have it
writing *.ind files. While there is much to do to make PPE into a
general 3D modeller, we have most of what we need to use it as a
positioning tool.

BTW, I made a new "install" with the new base package. This only has
*.btg.gz files for scenery tiles. This should mean that=20
SGBinObject::read_bin is called, should it not?
I wanted inside this function write it out as ascii again, so that I
have the ascii files for PPE.
But, strangely, SGBinObject::read_bin doesn't seem to be called :-(.
