This is meant to be a short (and temporary) description of our file "Airport.xml". At the moment we are not sure, if the structure remains that way. But for those who like to do some experiments I hope this will help for now. The program is at the moment not very good at detecting errors in this file, we will fix that as soon as possible.

Once there is a lot of data in the file starting the program might become quite slow. In that case we would have to rewrite the Init-Routine of the program.

If you have created a large file you might want to send it to us, so we could make the necessary adaptions in the program. Your work will of course not be shared with others, unless you give the explicit permission.

The xml-Structure consists of four main sections (which is now not according to xml-specs, but it works):

<AIRPORT>

</AIRPORT>

<VOR>

</VOR>

<DME>

</DME>

<NDB>

</NDB>

Fixes are entered in the respective <Airport/> Section while VOR,DME,NDB are globals

Longitude/Latitude Data may be entered in two ways:

<VATER LAT="48.64779" LON="9.00088" />
or
<BEGEN LAT="N48 19.17" LON="E11 28.89" />



Here is an abbreviated example of the whole structure:
