Will FSUIPC also list the AI Gates?

[Garfield]

Hi

I like the option of the extra information (runway and ICAO's) in FSUIPC. I used that for my program AITA2004 (traffic logger).

It would be very nice if FSUIPC also list the gates where the planes will depart or arrive. (like what can be seen in the new MS trafficlook.dll).

???

It would be very nice if FSUIPC also list the gates where the planes will depart or arrive. (like what can be seen in the new MS trafficlook.dll).

The MS Traffic Toolbox was written by the same guy who developed the Traffic parts of FS2004 in the first place, so it was easy for him. For me, finding each little scrap of inforamtion is a type of self-imposed torture, hours and hours of tracing through disassemblies of FS modules and trying to make sense of the horribly convoluted code their present day programming in C++ brings.

I really don't have the time, patience nor motivation to go any depper into that specific area than I have already. I nearly got to grips with the departure and arrival times, which in my view are much more important, but failed dismally in the end. I have absolutely no idea how the gates assigned would be obtained internally.

Maybe MS will make it easier in FS2006 and publish an SDK which makes this information accessible. As it is the "Air Traffic Information" part of the Panels SDK offers even less than FSUIPC!

I was afraid of that :(

I've been searching the web for a couple of days for that kind of information, but as you say it is somewhere in the dungeons of MS and i do not think they will release the source of traffictoolbox.
