I'm trying to get a list of the nearest airports to use in a C gauge. I've seen something in the xml gps that uses @c:NearestAirportItemsNumber to get the number of them and then loop through. I have a real hard time reading the polish notation that this is wrapped up in. Does anyone know how one would get this info into a C guage?Thanks,Steve

Hi Steve,Not sure if this will help, but take a look at the following reference site, with some great examples:http://www.fs2x.com/Tutorials.htmPut in a search for "TALAL" - there is an XML gauge that is simplified enough that you may be able to take advantage of it.Misho

>Does anyone know how one>would get this info into a C guage?Steve, it can be done, but it is extremely difficult. The method we've developed is proprietary, but I can tell you that the answer(s) are in the gauges.h file and the SDK examples.

I have looked through the SDK in depth and through the gauges.h file. I see you need the execute_calculator_code method but i don't know where to use this in my gauge. Also is the macro "c" in the xml gauge going to require me to add more to the parameter for the execute_calculator_code method?

Taken as an aggregate, it involves several thousands of lines of code, which on the face of it seems a bit excessive just to obtain the 'list of nearest airports...' ;)
