ZUCK needs a better layout ....and buildings and everything

Haha. Does it zuck?

I remember the FG Curtis' Forum having a thread about inappropriate or double-entendre airport ICAO codes. I do know KRAP was listed, but I never knew if ZUCK was.

A list of empty 3D airports in FG without layouts will be usefull, there're hundreds (or thousends?) i think so, a lot of work to do...

new since X-Plane 10.51, missing in FG:
ZUMY (Mianyang Nanjiao)
ZUGH,
ZUXJ

default single-runway layouts:
ZULS, ZUXC, ZUGY

wrong location?: ZUYB


this renderer has problems with the poygons, too:

when they are 3D, then they are not empty.
but currently in Project3000 they have ground vehicles and jetways but the terminal buildings are missing.

best result but slow: make nice 3D models manually.

2 potentially automatic options:

* run osm2city for each "3D" airport.
- that would also work for "2D" airports

* run dsf2aptdat + osm2city for each "3D" airport.
- that fits better to the jetway locations and we would get additional apron, taxiway and car parking polygons as a bonus.

I can do both easily for one airport but currently not yet in a automatic loop for all 4000 airports - that would need some additional (python) coding.
