I think those are updates to the 'big' apt.datThis folder contains. ICAO.groundnet.xml fileswith AI taxi routes.(made with aptdat2sqlite.py && sqlite2xml.py)including a few groundnets that were hand-made with TaxiDraw. ICAO.jetways.xml files(made with dsf2stg.py )Make sure you have enabled AI- Jetway Settings - Enable animated jetwaysIn some versions of FlightGear the AI Jetways are broken, you'll see a Error message about 'runtime-jetways'This can easily be fixed in jetways.nasI suggest to put this Airports folder into a custom scenery folder.
