Reading of supporting text files:
related.txt for creating groups of similar looking aircraft types;relOp.txt for creating groups of similar looking operator (liveries)Doc8643.txt, the official list of ICAO aircraft type codes;Obj8DataRefs.txt, a mapping list for replacing dataRefs in .obj files.
A related group is declared simply by a line of ICAO a/c type codes read from the file. Internally, the group is just identified by its line number in related.txt. So the group "44" might be "A306 A30B A310", the Airbus A300 series. Similarly, a group of operators is typically a group of mother/subsidiary companies using the same or very similar liveries.
Doc8643 is a list of information maintained by the ICAO to list all registered aircraft types. Each type designator can appear multiple times in the dataset for slightly differing models, but the classification und the WTC will be the same in all those listing.
XPMP2 is only interested in type designator, classification, and WTC.
