Simple Python script to convert APT1050 format file to APT0850 format file. APT1050 is used by a X-Plane 10.50 Flight simulator to define all of airports infrastructure. When Simulator Device is build around old, deprecated X-Plane 8, there is a need to convert newer, updated file to older format. Description of all of files can be found here: https://developer.x-plane.com/docs/specs/
Download the script. In the folder type: ***pip3 -r req.txt*** to download all of depedencies. Then run the script under Python.
python3 aptconv inputFile(APT1050.dat file outputFile (your own name.dat) -r (region in ICAO code - EP for Poland, ED for Germany etc)
Script is so simple there is nothing to branch with. One of the most improvements will be to add functionallity with mixed regions (for now only one) and more efficient memory management (in Python?!)
