How to read FSX airport data? any tools?

Featured Replies

Yes, I'll try. But I only need FSX ils freq., no need AIRAC ones. My purpose is to know fsx (stock+addons) ils freq. And then I can compare with FMC ils freq. (AIRAC).

 

With that tools is it possible to extract all bgl in one shot?

MakeRunways most certainly finds all the ILS's and provides them in several file formats. It would be pretty easy to knock up a little Lua plug-in for FSUIPC which used one of the easier files to read (CSV format) and found the ILS's for a selected airport ID and displayed them.

That's would be fantastic Pete, but I can't writing LUA plugin.

Do you think you could write it yourself or is too time consuming?

Sorry, I really don't have that sort of time. But I don't understand. Earlier you said

 

I'll try to write a little program in cpp that handle what I'm looking for, when I have a bit of time.

 

Lua is just an easy scripting language, no where near as difficult or fussy as CPP, and you can test easily in situ using logging and tracing aids provided in FSUIPC.  All the reference material and help you need is on the Lua website and in the Lua stuff installed with FSUIPC. It's really worth getting to know a little about Lua as it enables you to design and experiment with all sorts of little goodies for FS, via both FSUIPC and WideFS. As well as the examples installed for you, take a look at the User Contributions subforum on my support forum.

 

I can answer questions about the FSUIPC additions (library functions), documented in your FSUIPC Documents folder, and also about MakeRunways and its files,

 

For file access there's an example of creating a file and writing to it in the Lua examples (Record to csv.lua) so adapting the file parts to reading a CSV should be easy enough. For parsing the data lines to find the Airport ICAO, the runway number and the ILS frequency you'd be using the standard string library functions. For the display you'd use one or other of the display facilities, either in the Lua libraries or via the message display offset in FSUIPC, depending where and how you wanted it displayed. To get the ID from the pilot there's the "ask" function in the ipc library supplied by FSUIPC.

Thanks a lot Pete. Due to lack of time And my very basic skills in cpp I can't write down app shortly. But I'll try to do it.

 

Thanks so much for your help.

You could also have a look to ILS Inspector/editor editor part. It will give you full details on current ILSs in any BGL selection (file/folder or even full sim folder) and also provide you a direct comparison with current up to date AIRAC data

It is a portable application (no install)
