• 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.

FSX YSSY waypoints

I'm trying to add waypoints for YSSY into ade. I have the charts which has a lot of new waypoints for rnav that fsx doesn't have. But I don't have the coordinates for them, they're just there on the charts and I could kind of guess where they go. For the USA there are sites you can go to to find them, but haven't found a site for Australia. Any one know where I can get them?
 
John
are these "Airservices Australia" charts?
the charts i use from "Airservices Australia" has the co-ordinates for STAR/RNAV, including the heading and distance
RIVET, TAMMI, BOOGI, DUDOK and NASHI
mind you these are not this years charts, 2012 ones

Go to this site

http://www.airservicesaustralia.com/

Select Publications from the top menu.

Now select Aeronautical Information Package (AIP) on the left side

You will get a note about Adobe Reader so select AIP in the body of the page

At the bottom of the next page select I Agree

On the next page select Departure and Approach Procedures (DAP)

Now select Aerodrome and Procedure Charts

Select the Letter S for Sydney and scroll down to Sydney

You are now looking at all the charts so choose the one you want to work with such as RNAV-Z plus the runway number

The STAR RNAV arrival charts have the lat/lon for each Terminal_Waypoint. Enter the LAT and LON number into ADE exactly the same way you see it on the charts (be sure to also use the spaces between the numbers) and ADE will accept the letter/number format and do the conversion to decimal automactically.

thats ok Jim,
their site is often hard to navigate, so your description will help,
they often change their access as well, one time they were going to charge a price for access
 
I have no problem with the star rnav's. It's the rnav (gnss) charts. They have a lot of new waypoints, I.E. SYDNF, SYDNM, SYDNH. And there are lots of them. And they don't show the coordinates.

For the following type of work in slew mode I use the default C172

If the ILS has a DME then temporary move it to the threshold of the runway. If the ILS does not have a DME add it for measuring distance then when finished remove it.

Now Split screen ADE and FSX side by side on your monitor and connect the two together. Slew back and up stopping at the correct distance from the DME to add the RNAV Terminal_Waypoint. The distance from the runway end for each RNAV T_Waypoint is on each chart at the bottom.

Go To this forum link

http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/th...definitions-and-attached-picture.13751/page-2

Find post 22 on that page. The post starts off with information that looks like this
Name is CAT III
IDENT is IISU
Freq is 110.75
Has Glide Slope
Has DME
Uncheck Enable Back Course
Uncheck Create ILS Approach

Its time to add the T_Waypoints that we see on the approach chart. Before we add the T_Waypoints we need to condition the runway start location. In the following picture I have made sure the Start Location and the Runway Heading agree.
Click to expand...

It shows how to add T_Waypoints in slew mode for a ILS but the same apply's for T_Waypoints for the RNAV.

The missed approach for the RNAV approaches show heading and distance on the charts. You can use the ADE Guide Line to add those T_Waypoints.
 
What I ended up doing was opening up my fsbuild waypoint file which I have the latest build 1404. And added in the new waypoints that are missing. Took a little bit but got it done.
