![]() Supposedly there in somekind of markup file somewhere. It is a utility that automatically downloads the newest version of the needed FlightGear scenery while the simulator is running. The apt.dat only carries flat earth, line and signs, lights and static aircraft. I don't have anywhere on my system 3,700+ airport designs with buildings. The 7.9 mill and reads out the KLAX records. If there that's what it loads and uses the KLAX apt.dat file supplied buy the designer. If I specify KLAX it checks my Custom scenery dir for a KLAX. You can not start from an airport not in the system. When you stat X-Plane you have to select a starting airport from a list box of 3,700+ airports. Here is the short and dirty of how it kinda of works: If they can't find your desired location in the secondary they display a message of corrupt file and crash to the desktop.Īnd then all payware airports supply there own apt.dat file but must meet X-Plane spec because X-Plane renders and loads. It is unclear what the use of this apt.dat file is but info suggest it is used as a small backuip should your global 7.9 mil become corrupted. Local Global in Custom Scenery: C:\X-Plane 11\Custom Scenery\Global Airports\Earth nav data\apt.dat This file is smaller. There is the Global: 7.9 million records. All custom scenery airports come with their own apt.dat file. One with ground (Static Aircraft) and one with out. If you buy a payware airport for your custom scenery dir say a MisterX's KLAS you will get two supplied by him. And low and behold there are more than one apt.dat files on a typical installation. I get that from reading threads where guys are complaining of not being able to start in wherever or fly to somewhere. They would have to do that thru the apt.dat file. However the latest scenery could be too demanding if you have a low end computer or not much RAM, so consider instead to manually install the old scenery from the 'graphical interface' available at the scenery download page. So I wouldn't be able to start at Heathrow England because I live in Phoenix. Currently Terrasync is the best option: it downloads the latest scenery while flying. ![]() Custom sceneries for countries and regions are available here. The current OSM2City output on TerraSync is from the 1st world build of OSM2City scenery ( forum thread ). I believe the demo will only let you fly within a 100 or so miles of you location. OSM2City scenery buildings, roads, pylons, and other objects, for the whole planet is now on TerraSync, and automatically downloaded by FlightGear 2020.3.7 and later. FlightGear 2020.3 + World Scenery 2.0.1 + Aircraft Collection (128Gb USB) Rated 5.00 out of 5 57. Automatically downloads current weather conditions from the internet as you fly. It contains everything you need to install and run FlightGear on your computer. There is one possibility to that being a slim down version of an Apt.Dat. This is the FlightGear Program DVD for Windows and Mac OS X. It is my understanding that the demo is the same as the product. I never downloaded the demo but bought the product.
