RwyInfo 2 Data Update

File Description:
The purpose of this download is to allow you to update the data used by Ernie Alston's Runway Info gauge (RwyInfo version 2.0, available from http://www.fsbuild.com/rwyinfo/). This is an excellent little gauge that allows you to retrieve, through a gauge on your panel, information for all the runways at an airport (selected by ICAO code), and optionally automatically load frequency and course for an ILS into your NAV1 radio and MCP. However the usefulness of the gauge is somewhat restricted by the fact that it comes with a text database of 'info' to be displayed, and does not include any method for updating this info, other than by going into the text file and typing changes yourself (carefully, character by character). This is not really a practical method of getting the data to match your current FS configuration. What I have done is created a little utility that will create a new text database for the RwyInfo 2 gauge, based on your current scenery configuration.
