September 23, 200916 yr This is what I have found so far. 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:QUOTE<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><FSDataversion="9.0"xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd"><Waypointlat="-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. From the SDK: WaypointThis element is used to add a waypoint to the facility database. .Note that this element is not added within an Airport, but simply within the FSData tags. This element is allowed to contain Route data and should not be terminated with Lynn Fisher
September 23, 200916 yr Lynn,It appears that your coordinates are reversed and your waypoint has materialized near the South Pole. :( Try this:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><FSDataversion="9.0"xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd"><Waypointlat="N40 45 43.80"lon="W085 47 01.20"waypointType="NAMED"magvar="5"waypointRegion="K5"waypointIdent="FRIDG"></Waypoint></FSData>Let me know if this works!Todd
