Thread: Re: [Flightgear-scenery] apt.dat to xml

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

Hi Pete

You can find the scripts here
http://code.google.com/p/flightgear-world-scenery/source/browse

section tools/xml-creator

(But this is not finished yet!)

All the single-apt.dat files from current xplane .dat cycle you will find
in data/xplane-single

To get the xml output you need to pull the repo and install geographiclib
(with python support, only for additional data like threshold coords
etc.), and run i.e.

python xml-creator.py data/xplane-single/E/EDDF.dat

In tools/apt-extractor I also pushed the scripts to split apt.dat into
single files.

Be aware this is all experimental and I dont know if there will be any
use for this. The idea was to have one single xml file per airport
containing all (needed) airport data in one single file. It is far from
what terrasync delivers at the moment. So as a proposal this data could be
useful once maybe for terrasync, flightgear, but also for webservices like
maps etc.  (updated automatically every 1-3 months along xplane data
cycle).

And please note that all this stuff has not to be on goolge code, its
just a (almost personal) interim workspace.
