Tagging GPS waypoints with fuel computer

Featured Replies

Hey guysFirstly, I would like to sound out a word of thanks to everyone here who has been helping me with my issues on XML. I have successfully created a simple XML gauge which gives the following information:Total Fuel QuantityInst ConsumptionTime to Empty Distance to EmptyFrom the above information, I am interested to link it with the onboard GPS in FS2004. I am sure you realize that we can use the GPS within FS9 to plot routes. What I am interested to do is to feed these information from the GPS to my fuel computer where I will be able to simply display relevant information if the pilot has enough fuel to make it to its next waypoint and its final destination.

hmm, what if I assume it for straight and level flight then?

As I said, it's the best you can do without complex performance tables available.As for getting info from the GPS... the SDK holds all you need to know in that regard. A full list of available variables are listed.
