Python tools for manipulating X-Plane's apt.dat files & interfacing with the X-Plane Scenery Gateway API
License: MIT License
Hello,
Thanks for all your work on this library! It is much appreciated. This is more of a question than a feature request.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Is it possible to get glideslope / instrument approach procedure information for airports through this module? I looked at the apt.dat file format and I did not see any glideslope information but I wanted to check with you.
Describe the solution you'd like
We would like to load airport information including anything needed for a landing. In particular, we are interested in the glideslope information from an Instrument Approach Procedure, for example, the IAP for KMWH Rwy 04.
Describe alternatives you've considered
The best alternative we have considered so far is to manually specify information in a configuration file for any airport of interest by referencing the AirNav IAPs. However, we'd be interested in any other suggestions you may have.
Additional context
We are building a research tool on XPlane which includes landing scenarios. We are using your module, and NASA's XPlaneConnect. Our experience with XPlane thus far is limited. Thanks for your time!
As XP12 disables global flatten option in the in-game settings page, and meanwhile tones of airports remain unoptimized, we need to manually add a lot of "1302 flatten 1" lines to the apt.dat file.
My idea is to use this official parse tool to add those flatten lines automatically, but this tool seems to lack the ability to parse the "flatten" option/key in the apt.dat file.
The requested feature is to add the ability to parse the "flatten" option/key so that other python scripts may be able to use this tool to switch airports' flatten option.
We should document these new dataclasses and the new enum. The docs in the code would be fine to copy & paste into the README, with the appropriate formatting.
Test Scope
First attempt to use this lib in one of my quick tool for XPlane 11 to XPlane 10/9/8 converting.
When tried to load full, original file from Xplane 11 via this lib, there is an error that file is not recognized
Reproducing
Expected behavior
Expectation was to read all of the files without need to change(remove) the first row of each of them.
