• 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.

Problem with Approaching Ai aircraft TOGA'ing !

So presumably adding an ILS in ADE is not sufficient to do this - so I must go off and find out how to supplement the ILS with these additions using XML coding...ie. Approach coding....?
 
Which, of course, requires that you can add Terminal Way points ;)
 
Yikes! Sorry for my post above. I ment to say "add".
So, I'm not at my ADE computer right now. Are terminal waypoints do-able in ADE? And is all this needed if AI work OK? Have I stayed too long at the fair?

Yes - from what I can understand - the ADE prog. allows us to add the ILS - but the ILS is possibly, only useful for making our instruments wakeup on approach...hehe.

But, depending on the airport and whether there is already an ILS etc. it may be necessary to program Approach data using XML and then refer it to the bgl file in question if Ai traffic is to use the info. correctly...and there is the question of crosswind/multiple runways that can be addressed. Clearly, it gets very complex and advanced and ADE does not do everything...yet. This is how I understand it.

The link above seems to be a good starting point.

I myself will be returning to this very issue after I have finally solved the mystery of how fuel trucks, vehicles, fuel triggers, R2D2's, Daleks and Cybermen (if you are American - Google it !), all fit into the big picture in terms of controlling their behaviour !

And, I will solve this riddle, or rip a hole in the very fabric of time and space in the process.....hehe...8-)

When I wrote that post ADE was not capable of doing certain task. The most current ADE is more powerful and allows us to renumber a runway and ADE will set the ILS properly.

That post was all about a User that added a new runway and needed to change the other parallel runway numbers. Most of the tools needed back then are no longer needed because ADE has automated some of the process for renumbering a runway that has a ILS approach.
 
Jim,

Can you give me a link where I can study the procedure for creating the Approach XML files needed to ensure that a new ILS added to a airport, is used by Ai traffic and ATC, correctly ?


Also, I have looked at the xml coding for your KJAX airport....where exactly is the data for ils approaches. It is 70 odd pages long...

Do I need a progrma to enable the creation of these xml files ?

Thnx

Well clearly everything is a lot more complex than I had imagined and I feel I am trying to run before I can walk.

So I'm gonna suss out the basics first. Then I'll come back to creating new airports from scratch and modifying navaids a little later on.

Thnx again and we'll talk later about this once I done some more research.

It's not as complicated as you think.

Basically, you have ADE, which at present allows you to pretty much create most aspects of airport design EXCEPT FOR approaches.

If you want to study an airport with approaches, you can decompile any bgl containing an airport that has one or more approaches. Any of the stock *apx.bgl files would suffice.

You will find that "approach code" is a collection of waypoints and commands to identify the characteristics of the LEGS between them.
