Chrisoft-Dev Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Hi Pete :) , I want to retrieve information from ATC or other way on status in Airport. For example I want to retrieve information if I've authorization or not to taxi, for landing, take-off, to go to ramp, parking and more. Also, in offset 31E8, I want to know the ground flags, or to know if my plane is on runway or not etc... It's important for me because I'm making a software specially based on checklist. I hope you have a possibility to update offset 31E8 and to add offset runway and offset contains some informations ATC. :roll: ATC put texts on ATC windows, is it not possible to retrieve these texts by memory ? Thanks, regards, Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 I want to retrieve information from ATC or other way on status in Airport. For example I want to retrieve information if I've authorization or not to taxi, for landing, take-off, to go to ramp, parking and more. Yes, that would be nice information to get hold of. How do you propose we can do it? Also, in offset 31E8, I want to know the ground flags, or to know if my plane is on runway or not etc... 31E8 won't tell you if it's a runway or not. You need to extract the Airport Data from the BGLs, to make a database, and work it out from the exact latitude and longitude. For the database part you can use my Freeware utility "MakeRwys" available in either of the download announcements above. I hope you have a possibility to update offset 31E8 and to add offset runway and offset contains some informations ATC. :roll: No, I've no idea how to make that a possibility. Sorry. It has been an ambition since FS2002. ATC put texts on ATC windows, is it not possible to retrieve these texts by memory ? You'd think it would be easy, wouldn't you? Let me know if you find out how. I'm afraid I gave up long ago, and many many fruitless hours. Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisoft-Dev Posted December 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Okay Pete, I'm going to look your nice tool "MakeRwys" for detecting out of runways. I hope in future, we'll find to able to retrieve information specially about authorizations status (taxi, takeoff, landing, ramp, IFR, etc..) from FSX ATC. Maybe next year, we'll fint it :D Happy New Year Pete, and all FS communauty :) Regards, Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Pollitt Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Can somebody please tell me what the field headings are for the new R4.CSV produced from the latest MakeRwys.exe. I think its something like ICAO, Degreeheadingofrunway, Lat, Long (are these of the left corner of that particular runway heading?), ? , ?, RunwayLength, ILS freq, ? , ? , Lat , Long (of opposite left corner of runway?), ?, runway open/closed. What do the BDG stand for after the freqs? I've searched for info on this forum but I cant seem to locate anything regarding this. Thanks Graham EDIT Ive worked out the following icao, runway ie 0161 16L, lat/long of centreline at bottom of runway heading, airport elevation, runway heading/ .?, runway length, ils freq/backcourse/dme/glideslope, runway width, ?, lat/long of centre of runway/line, ? anyone please help with the 2 ?

I've searched for info on this forum but I cant seem to locate anything regarding this. Sorry about thatI'll add something to the ReadMe. Meanwhile here's the details of each of the CSV files: RUNWAYS.CSV (ORIGINAL RUNWAYS FILE -- for FStarRC): ICAO, Rwy*, Latitude*, Longitude*, Altitude*, Heading Mag, Length*, ILSfreq* R4.CSV (RUNWAYS FILE for RCV4): ICAO, Rwy*, Latitude*, Longitude*, Altitude*, Heading Mag, Length*, ILSfreq*, Width*, MagVar, CentreLatitude, CentreLongitude, ThresholdOffset* R5.CSV (RUNWAYS FILE for RCV5): ICAO, Rwy*, Latitude*, Longitude*, Altitude*, Heading Mag, Length*, ILSfreqFlags*, Width*, MagVar, CentreLatitude, CentreLongitude, ThresholdOffset*,Status* G5.CSV (GATES for RCV5): ICAO, GateLetter, GateNumber, Latitude, Longitude, Radius*, HeadingTrue, GateType*, AirlineCodeList ... T5.CSV (TAXIWAYS for RCV5): ICAO,TaxiwayName,Minimum Width*,PointList ... where PointList is a sequence of: Latitude,Longitude,TaxiType*,Width* * Rwy is nnn for runway number, then 0, 1=L, 2=R, 3=C, 4=W (water) * Latitude is of threshold or AFCAD's "runway start" * Longitude is of threshold or AFCAD's "runway start" * Altitude in feet * Length in feet * ILSFreq as nnnnn for nnn.nn, or just 0 when no ILS * ILSFreqFlags is ILSFreq then optional B (backcourse), D (DME) G (Glideslope) equipped * ThresholdOffset in feet * Status: ,CT for Closed for Takeoff and/or ,CL for Closed for Landing * Radius in metres * TaxiType is 0 = unknown 1 = Normal 2 = Hold short 3 = unknown 4 = ILS hold short * GateType is: 0 = none 1 = Ramp GA 2 = Ramp GA Small 3 = Ramp GA Medium 4 = Ramp GA Large 5 = Ramp Cargo 6 = Ramp Military Cargo 7 = Ramp Military Combat 8 = Gate Small 9 = Gate Medium 10 = Gate Large 11 = Dock GA Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
