Therefore AI aircraft | The next major aspect of the AI traffic system contains taxiway information. Although the physical layout of each airport is contained in FlightGear's airport database, this information is not sufficient to provide taxiway information. Therefore AI aircraft pick up this type of routing information from an XML file inside the <tt>[[$FG_SCENERY]]/Airports/[I]/[C]/[A]/</tt> directory/. Currently, this information is provided on a one file per airport basis, that can be found in a file called <tt>[[$FG_SCENERY]]/Airports/[I]/[C]/[A]/[ICAO].groundnet.xml</tt>, where ICAO stands for the 4 letter ICAO code for the airport in question. | ||
