Nav.dat and fix.dat

New nav.dat and fix.dat



Because the terrain won't match and this could result in a mess for some airports. I think we already discussed about that on the mailing list. So use it at you own risk ;-)


Maybe it could be put into FGDATA W SUBMODULES? Nother crazy idea of mine :)

Very crazy idea lego. For exact reason you mentioned above,.

(it is not a mismatch in "some" airport. but in MANY airports. All of which have the newest dat)

If we gave everybody in the World free software today, but we failed to teach them about the four freedoms, five years from now, would they still have it?

On the other hand, D-Laser's suggestion is very cool
If you build the scenery at the same time that you ship the updated apt.dat, then you are good to go.

(also, the fix.dat file, is more easily updated, too; but it can still wreck your RNAV approaches.)
