hi pete and everyone,
I'm glad to know you Pete. You are genius and really kind. :)
I'm trying to understanding the bgl file structure in fs2004. I have read analysis about new bgl file structure from Winfried Orthmann:
http://www.scenery.org/_downloads/newbgucture.zip.
There are thing I want to ask, about the ICAO data type coding.
It's said on the "newbglfilestructure.pdf":
I am trying to decompile the bgl file with the airport ICAO code "WIPR" and found the coded dword on the bgl is "03 9D 93 E1". And then I am manually calculated the coded dword for "WIPR" And here is my calculation:
value of "W"= 34
value of "I"= 20
value of "P"= 37
value of "R"= 39
(34* 38 )= 1292 + 20 = 1312*38 = 49856 +37 = 49893*38=1895934+39=
1895973 * 38 = 72046974(decimal) = 44B597E (hexadecimal) shift left by 5 = 896B2FC0 (result).
The result is really different with the coded dword I found on the bgl. Is there something I've done wrong?
Pete, can you give more explanation about ICAO data type coding? How "WIPR" coded so that it become ""03 9D 93 E1"? I have also attach the bgl file I used on this post.
Thank you very much,
Arifin
Sorry for my bad English.
