• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

fs2002 bgl knowledge required..

I appreciate many have moved on to bigger and better concerns (FSX etc.), but I am intent on finding out how to modify the fs2002 scenedb/atc bgl files so as to redefine atc "center" boundaries and/or frequencies. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

I have tried using afcad, but the option of assigning "center" frequencies to specific airports has no effect, probably due to fs not looking at these (AFD?) files for center information. It also seems that the bgl analyzers I have tried are for visual scenery development, and do not understand other types of bgl. Are there some more versatile analyzers for fs2002 bgl files?

I understand that this is an ongoing problem for more recent fs versions, but surely someone somewhere has the relevant knowledge with respect to fs2002?

Oh, one other thing: Some approach frequencies have a twenty nm range, and others a thirty nm range. How do I edit these parameters, and how do I activate a new departure frequency channel at an airport whose default state did not include such a channel?

I eagerly await any info on this subject. I must add that I am by no means experienced, so if you have the patience to be concise about anything highly technical, avoiding obscure jargon where possible, I will be particularly grateful. Many thanks...

Hi Dan,

It is a while ago that I did some work with the ATC in Fs2002. If I remember correct I used the decompiler by Christian Stock back then to get the code of the ATC. I even wrote a little tool to visualize the ATC sectors for myself :).

But I think the bad news for you is that this decompiler newer got released to the general public. And I would not know another way to get access to the ATC code.
 
Ahhh, the final nail in the coffin to make me go get fs2004.

Thanks for trying all the same,

Dan

ps. If anyone knows how to do the same things for fs2004: don't be shy, send me a reply...;)

There's a bcfv.bgl or something like that under Scenery/World/Scenery, which contains boundaries and freqs for ATC centers. ADE or similiar software should be enough for viewing the contents of that file.
