Have you worked out the XML someone mentioned was used to index them?

Yes, I'm stumbling through it with the Python SAX module. Here
is some really bad code that uses it.

Is there any georeferencing?

No, I haven't noticed any. I thought about it earlier, but I'd be
very surprised if the plates could be reasonably georeferenced
anyway. I recall seeing "not to scale" warnings on some of them.

P.S. Anyone know if the flight simulator guys fly IFR? They've
already hit the sectionals pretty hard. (I'm happy they find it
useful. I'm just curious.)


Thanks for this incredible resource. And yes simmers do fly IFR,
including me. I'm a PP-ASEL but not instrument rated. I have taken a
few instrument lessns and read extensively on the subject to insure
that I am using proper procedures when flying IFR on the computer. I
use the sim for GA flight but there are guys that fly airliners all
over the world IFR on the computer.
