Miggers Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I mostly fly low level between 2 and 5 thousand and would like to add my home,a local landmark and my nearest waypoint into Fs2004. I have the lat. and long.(from Google Maps) of the points I'd like to add,but haven't a clue about XML code that I believe I need so I can add then in. I have the Microsoft SDK and roughly understand how to use it to make a BGL file to add into World scenery and activate the VRP/waypoint. If someone could create the XML file for me to use I'd be most grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I'm downloading the SDK now and I'll see if I can figure this out. It sounds like just a GPS reference point with an object. The reference point will be easy, adding the object won't. I don't know anything about GMAX and what have you for model creation. I have tried to decompile some VRPs from what was here in the library to XML but that failed saying the BGL file wasn't made using BGLComp. Maybe these authors used something else... The tool I use is called Bgl2Xml 160. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed.

CRJ_simpilot Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Which SDK doc did you read on this? OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk?

The lat/long of LISTO is from here:http://www.aeroresource.co.uk/resources/uk-waypoints-map/ the ones for my home(HOMES)and Mow Cop(MOWCO) are from Google earth. As I say,I haven't a clue with XML.
