excerpt from this file. It should be noted that current development work is planned that aims to move these files from the base package to the scenery repository, so that ground network information and the physical layout of the airport can be updated in parallel. Once this is done, the new location / name for the file will be [fg-scenery]/Airports/[ICAO1]/[ICAO2]/[ICA03]/[ICAO].groundnet.xml. Here [ICAO] stands for the 4 letter ICAO code of the airport in question, and [ICAO1], [ICAO2], and [ICAO3] for the first to third letter of this code. | excerpt from this file.

'''NOTE:''' Taxidraw versions with a build date of Feb. | '''NOTE:''' Taxidraw versions with a build date of Feb. 5, or later, 2009 support the new naming convention. To make use of this new functionality, make sure to set the FlightGear scenery directory in TaxiDraw (tab 4 in the preferences menu). The directory specified here should be the top level directory, i.e. the one that contains the "Airports", "Objects", and "Terrain" subdirectory. Note that support for this naming convention was introduced somewhat earlier, but versions of taxidraw before Feb 5 contain a potentially fatal bug that might ruin your work. | ||
In addition, FlightGear cvs of approximately the same date also has support for reading the ground networks from the scenery directory. This feature is not enabled by default. To enable, make sure the property /sim/traffic-manager/use-custom-scenery-data is set to true. This can be done by editing preferences.xml or specifying this property on the command line. | In addition, FlightGear cvs of approximately the same date also has support for reading the ground networks from the scenery directory.
