#FLIGHTGEAR ROUTE MANAGER HOW TO#
Here is a link to an example to show how to implement what I've outlined above: This article may require cleanup to meet the quality standards of the wiki. For instructions on how to install, see this section of the README
#FLIGHTGEAR ROUTE MANAGER FREE#
There is a free project on GitHub that aims to take FAA data and format it into the LevelD required by FlightGear. README.md aXmly xmly.py README.md xmly.

The FAA provides the CIFP which provides procedure data for airports under the purview of the FAA, namely the US. 1 branch 0 tags Code 33 commits Failed to load latest commit information.

In the explanation below, the name like "ProceduresDB" is the tag - so it's actually in the XML file. Im cross posting this message to both flightgear-devel and flightgear-users, because I know there are quite a few flightgear-users subscribers working on developing traffic plans. Replace "VTSP" in the directory and procedures.xml file name with your airport code. At this stage, I cannot tell wether traffic manager II is going to be backward compatible with the currently existing xml files. In there you will likely find but not an existing file. There is at most one file per airport and it is located in the airport's root directory:įor example, to import SID or STAR procedures for VTSP (Phuket International Airport), you name the file and put it in the /Airports/V/T/S/ directory. SID and STAR procedures are found in the airport's procedures.xml file. This is what FlightGear is all about doing it yourself and sharing it to others.Ī quick search would also find existing packages. Charts are easy to find and a quick search will find you the syntax.

The httpd-option offers a similar interface as the props-option, but is more convenient for the manual assignment of state variables in FlightGear.A free way to get more SID and STAR procedures for the FlightGear Route Planner Background With a web browser on the same machine, one can browse the FlightGear property tree when opening the following url: PORT-A is the port used for communicating with Matlab. In order to communicate with the flight simulator, FlightGear has to be started with the following command line options:įgfs.exe -fg-root=SOME.PATH -fg-scenery=SOME.PATH -props=PORT-A -httpd=PORT-B Functions for other purposes can be easily implemented by using the same type of socket connection. The functions were written for the simulation of routing algorithms in Matlab. Speeds up FlightGear's simulation speed by a factor. Inserts waypoint/s (Latitude, Longitude, Altitude ) at certain position of current route. Reads number of remaining waypoints on the current route. Reads distance of aircraft from current waypoint in sea miles and converts it to meters. Reads FlightGear's simulation time in seconds. Reads aircraft position and orientation (Latitude, Longitude, Altitude, Ground elevation, Heading, Pitch, Yaw, Roll ). Waypoints are set by writing them to /autopilot/route-manager/input. It's a clever (IMHO :-) messaging system. And if you write text to /sim/messages/pilot, it is copied to /sim/screen/yellow (causing the yellow text) and to /sim/sound/voices/pilot. The ZIP-file contains a library of Matlab functions to remotely control an aircraft's path in FlightGear:Īctivates Autopilot and sets target speed.Īdds waypoint/s (Latitude, Longitude, Altitude ) after last entry of current route.ĭeletes all waypoints of the current route. The Festival output is done by writing text to /sim/sound/voices/atc, etc.
