I never looked at the thread, but I could explain what's involved here - however, it's not exactly straightforward, because our scenery is compiled "offline", and it also uses the same data. There are several dependencies in place here that are not obvious to bystanders. We've had quite a few discussions about doing this sort of thing. So we generally discourage rebuilding your own navdb, unless you know exactly what you're doing (including the TG side of things)-which would mean that you wouldn't be asking the question :-) --[[User:Hooray|Hooray]] ([[User talk:Hooray|talk]]) 07:57, 7 May 2014 (UTC) | I never looked at the thread, but I could explain what's involved here - however, it's not exactly straightforward, because our scenery is compiled "offline", and it also uses the same data.

: I asked that because I've found some hints about "contributing to navaid data", in a "notice to volunteers" in a modeling article (sic) (see [http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php?title=Modeling_-_Getting_Started&diff=prev&oldid=70555 here], 3rd red block, then moved [[Volunteer#Making airports|here]].). I wanted to know if that's actually open to volunteering, like sending Robin new apt.dat's. (I'd actually like to understand what navigation data has to do with scenery. I am curious about that ~100MB file generated any time I add/remove some scenery.) --[[User:Bigstones|Bigstones]] ([[User talk:Bigstones|talk]]) 20:03, 7 May 2014 (UTC) | |||
