June 15, 200916 yr Anybody know how I can create a GPS waypoint that consists of lat/long and insert it into FSX so I can use it in flight plans?
June 15, 200916 yr You can insert custom waypoints into your flight plan from the Flight Planner. Firstly, specify your origin and destination. Then click the Find Route button, zoom in on the map at the place where you want to insert your waypoint, and drag the red course line to that point. It's fairly simple.Good luck, and welcome to AVSIM. Mike Beckwith
June 15, 200916 yr For a more permanent solution you can create your own waypoints that appear in the GPS and FSX Map with a bit of XML coding. Here is an example: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><FSData version="9.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd"> <Waypoint lat="-20.9116665646434" lon="117.11666688323" waypointType="NAMED" magvar="0" waypointRegion="YM" waypointIdent="WBK"> </Waypoint></FSData>Copy this text into a plain text file and change the lat and lon and waypointIdent and waypointRegion to whatever you need and then run through the BGLComp.exe . Drop the resulting BGL into an active scenery folder and hey presto! New waypoint (you can include multiple waypoints if you like). Refer to the FSX SDK / Environment Kit / BGL Compiler for more info.
June 16, 200916 yr Im sure you can use ADE and place a gps waypoint on a gps approachhttp://www.airportdesigneditor.co.uk/ | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
