I probably could calculate the nearest navaids myself using MakeRunways (I have not used it before) and parse the flightplan file, but since all of this already done by FSX for the GPS.xml gauges, I thought maybe there is a possibility to hook into that. My intention is to build a GPS-like display on a Saitek instrument panel where the user aircraft is displayed in with a sketch of the surrounding navaids and the flightplan.
FSNAVIGATOR DATABASE FULL
I don't exactly understand what you mean with full GPS capabilities.
FSNAVIGATOR DATABASE UPDATE
It only needs re-running when you update the scenery.

If you only really want the static information which is fixed by the BGLs, why not use my freeware MakeRunways? Many of the sorts of add-ons you are talking about do. I didn't realise you were only interested in static information, not the full GPS capabilities. Other applications that I use such as AirTrack (connects FSX to an iPad) apparently use a real world database but that has the downside that it does not match the FSX scenery. Maybe most applications (such as FSNavigator, FSCommander) need access to the whole navaid database and there is no other way to obtain that than by building a database from the bgl files. I can only guess why I am the first person to ask. By the way, I have over 20 professional programming experience including C and C++ so if there is a way I could be of assistence then please feel free to ask. If you could have look into the GPS data that would be very kind indeed. I very much appreciate your continous work on extending the FSUIPC capabilities. So I hope you are talking about FSX or Prepar3D. Sorry, I don't have time beforehand.īTW I am not going to do any more serious development work on FSUIPC3, only FSUIPC4. Remind me in mid to late January and I'll take a more serious look. As I know that the Lua library supports LVars, my hope is that maybe there is also a way to get to the information that is used by the XML gauges through the Lua extensions. In my case I want to display this information on Saitek panels and would like to use FSUIPC for that. (I just copied this code from the xml file, I have the feeling that this does the magic I need but I don't know how.)īob McElrath ( ) wrote an extensive book on how this system works, but he only refers to XML gauges.

(A:GPS POSITION LAT, Radians) Radians) (A:GPS POSITION LON, Radians) Radians) (A:GPS POSITION ALT, Meters) Meters) (A:GPS POSITION LAT, Radians) Radians) (A:GPS POSITION LON, Radians) Radians) 9 200 NMiles) Somehow it manages to access the FSX database. The gps_500.xml that is part of FSX (it is in the gauges\fs9gps.cab file) is a good example. The XML gauge facility can get to the information I need.
FSNAVIGATOR DATABASE HOW TO
I stopped developing since I did not have a clue on how to proceed, but now I the issue pops up again. That wouldn't give you "nearby VORs" though - you'd need a data base for that. The only way I can think of is to read the pathname for the loaded plan from offset 0130, and load that and decode it.
