Yes, this is what I was doing, but all I get is some understanding of the fields, but I fail to find information on what kind of code most of them require, and where I can get those codes. So those are: name, code, zone, radar. And for: loc3=Anchorage PANC AKZ015 alaska name is Anchorage code is PANC zone is AKZ015 and finally radar is alaska The code is actually an ICAO code for air ports, but what about zone and radar? Is zone a postal zip or what? I wanted to update info on Polish cities. And yesterday I got the ICAO codes ready, but I would also like to fill the other two fields. Also I was wondering about the regions codes, whether there is any world standard in there, see: [NA_US] name=United States regions=AL AK AZ AR CA CO CT DE DC FL GA HI ID IL IN IA KS KY LA ME MD MA MI MN MS MO MT NE NV NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC SD TN TX UT VT VA WA WV WI WY ... and: [EU_UK] name=United Kingdom regions=SE MI NE NW SW NI SC WA ...but: name=Australasia regions=AU NZ Thanks for tips, -- Piotr Smyrak piotr.smyrak@heron.pl
