Aircraft position And OACI airport Code

[yann]

Hello,

Im a french (so sorry for my poor english ;-) ) complete newbie .

I have read the "FSUIPC Programmer Doc" and nowhere i 've found an offset to get the OACI airport Code .

My project is, when the Aircraft is landed , to control where it has landed and when.

is there a solution ??

or i have to create a database to make relation between longitude/latitude and OACI code ??

if so , does such a database existe somewhere

Sorry in advance if such a question have already been asked..

Thank's

It's ICAO. But which airport? FSUIPC knows nothing about airports. If you mean "nearest to position", then I haven't come across a way from inside FSUIPC to get such computations done for me by FS, though I assume it may do it somewhere for itself.

The way most programs work is to make a database by scanning all the scenery files to locate the airport details. I did make a program to do this for FS2000/FS2002, but unfortunately the format changed in FS2004 and I've not had to to investigate this enough to write a new program.

There is a database of Weather Stations readily accessible in FS's files, but this will omit smaller airfields which are not also METAR stations.

Pete

thank's for your fast answer Pete.

so , i think, I will create my database manualy ...Today my website offert only 74 destinations to ours pilotes...

Thank's again

ps : yes it's ICAOOACI is in French :wink:

best regards
