HOW CAN I DO THIS? Is It Even Possible?

>Great but, I learned that there is a tool called TCalcX>(http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4273) >which could capture the coordinates (instead of writing them>down one by one).

It simply has a coordinate output, same as SHIFT-Z.I use TCalcX mostly for finding out exact elevations of default flattens, and so forth...when modding airports to make sure elevations match.You can install TCalcX wherever you want, and just run it when FSX is running; it uses SimConnect and should connect right up for you, displaying lat/long and alt.>SURE, I hope to get to that point.

Great Rhett!By the way, would the following format be OK: -87.592222

West and South are negative lat/long values - East and North are positive - at least in FS.

>West and South are negative lat/long values - East and North>are positive - at least in FS.Oh, I see -- Thank YOU!!dito

FSX_KML seems to need the values in Longitude/ Latitude order, not the Lat/Long order we use for most other things.

I got that those simply by the following steps (surely not doing it right):Start FS_KML and go to "Project" the click, "Add KML" then "Open in Notepad" to edit the coordinates.After that I click on "FS_KML_Tags.XML" and there I scroll down and select "Freeway Traffic."Then I click on "Build" tab and then the press the "Build" button.That's how I am getting all that information. SO I BELIEVE those are NOT the correct steps. HOW DO YOU DO IT? HOW DID YOU GET THAT CODE GENERATED--Namually or generated automatically by FS_KML tool? What are the STEPS you take?dito

I believe two-way traffic requires two parallel lines. There was a discussion of this awhile back on the KML forum:http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3509Somewhere it was also stated that the data points in the two lines must be reverse-ordered, as the traffic flows from the first to the last point.John

DitoI am not at home right now, so I don't have FS_KML here, but in general, what I do is, once I have my .kml file, I do in fact do some manual editing.The code I posted shows the proper format. If you cut and paste that into a text file, then load it into fs_kml, it should work.Your FreewayTraffic tag should be inside the construct.I'd say your code is missing some things, hopefully I will be able to give a more detailed answer when I am back at home with FS_KML and my two little projects (Nicaragua and Honduras) in front of me.RhettAMD 3700+ (@2310 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2 GB Corsair XMS 2.5-3-3-8 (1T), WD 250 gig 7200 rpm SATA2, CoolerMaster Praetorian case

You helped me and my heart swells with joy---Thank YOU all especially to MACE!!!LOOK AT HERE: http://www.flightsimworld.com/forums/index...howtopic=112167I only need to replace the GE coordinates with the FXS ones. TCalcX please work!dito
