I saw you recent edits related to the apt.dat formats, in particular [http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php?title=File_Formats&diff=prev&oldid=70496 this one].

According to some forum posts ([http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?p=203717&sid=6666d65008b67789b89ec782edb173b9#p203717 ], [http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?p=188590#p188590]) it seems that genapts support both apt.dat formats 810, 850 and 1000, but unfortunately the terragear developers are not very clear on what formats terragear and/or genapts actually support, in fact can't find it in [https://gitorious.org/fg/terragear/source/master: terragear's readme files]. | |||
In other words it seems for now that in FlightGear lingo 810 represents X-plane apt.dat 810 and older formats while 850 represents 850 and newer formats, if that is any help. I do not really like the inconsistency and ambiguity of that. | |||

apt.dat 810 vs. 850 vs. 1000 formats
I saw you recent edits related to the apt.dat formats, in particular this one. I do not know how many outside the developer and/or the scenery development/enhancement communities that are aware of the following, but it seems to go by word of mouth.
According to some forum posts ([1], [2]) it seems that genapts support both apt.dat formats 810, 850 and 1000, but unfortunately the terragear developers are not very clear on what formats terragear and/or genapts actually support, in fact can't find it in terragear's readme files.
In other words it seems for now that in FlightGear lingo 810 represents X-plane apt.dat 810 and older formats while 850 represents 850 and newer formats, if that is any help. I do not really like the inconsistency and ambiguity of that.
