Find ICAO in BGL-files

File Description:
Data about airports and navaids (among others) are contained in binary files - generally in ...\scenery\*.bgl files in FS9 as well as in FSX. Apart from simple modifications of such data, which are possible using the AFCAD 2 AddOn tool, changes of parameters at a specified location have to be made within one of the bgl files mentioned by disassembling, re-writing and re-compiling them. As there exist hundreds of these files in the simulation program, it is not easy to find the correct one for a modification of the corresponding data. automates the search for the right bgl file by parsing all files in a selected folder or even in a whole subdirectory tree: Given the ICAO code of an airport or navaid, the program creates a text file with the position(s) and name(s) - if there are any - of those bgl files in either FS9 or FSX, in which the searched data is hidden. The program does not alter or delete existing files.
