Hi Georg....

Thanks!
2. why didn't you use the FGTools functions (AI page) for some of the
work you obviously did by hand? See manual or ask me :-)
I didn't think 098a would support the input files required...but I did use
FGTools very extensively...
Dene,
I am writing this on the list as some other user (on Windows) might be
interested.
As 098a does not support creating *.csv logfiles (as you tell me), do it
yourself with a simple texteditor!
How this is done is explained in the last part of this message.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
BUT FIRST AN EXAMPLE HOW ALL WORKS with a normal *.csv logfile:
This is a sample of a looong automatically created csv-file I used to make
an AI file from, logging a C172 flightpattern around EDDW
Time,Longitude,Latitude,Altitude,Roll,Pitch,Heading,Speed
51.1833,8.804636726,53.0472589,15.74750528,-0.2096236382,0.320089886,264.145706,0.05281214575
52.1833,8.804636339,53.04725886,15.7474581,-0.1977411975,0.3292465916,264.1879917,0.06696391264
53.1833,8.804634928,53.04725895,15.74742986,-0.2264046498,0.3565201565,264.1958376,0.3866295215
You see, it was logged every second to have a quite smooth behaviour of the
AI aircraft.
This is the AICessPlatz.xml in the data\AI folder, FGTools created:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<PropertyList>
<scenario>
<entry>
<callsign>AIVehicle</callsign>
<type>aircraft</type>
<class>jet</class>
<model>Models/Aircraft/c172-dpm.ac</model>
<flightplan>CessPlatz.xml</flightplan>
<repeat>1</repeat>
</entry>
</scenario>
</PropertyList>
This is the beginning of the
AI-Flightplan CessPlatz.xml in the AIFlighPlans folder, FGTools created:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<PropertyList>
<flightplan>
<wpt>
<name>51.1833</name>
<lat>53.0472589</lat>
<lon>8.804636726</lon>
<alt>15.74750528</alt>
<ktas>0.05281214575</ktas>
<on-ground>false</on-ground>
</wpt>
<wpt>
<name>52.1833</name>
<lat>53.04725886</lat>
<lon>8.804636339</lon>
<alt>15.7474581</alt>
<ktas>0.06696391264</ktas>
<on-ground>false</on-ground>
</wpt>
<wpt>
<name>53.1833</name>
<lat>53.04725895</lat>
<lon>8.804634928</lon>
<alt>15.74742986</alt>
<ktas>0.3866295215</ktas>
<on-ground>false</on-ground>
</wpt>
And FGTools "installs" your AI-scenario in preferences.xml and activates
AI-scenerios.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SO, HOW CAN YOU USE these functionallity from FG 0.9.8?
CREATE YOUR *.csv file yourself!
Take any simple texteditor and create a normal textfile like "MyFerry.csv"
OK, you won't have to fill in all data but replace unused with a
placeholder "0".
So for your ferry you would write
Time,Longitude,Latitude,Altitude,Roll,Pitch,Heading,Speed
1,[Longitude],[Latitude],[Altitude],0,0,0,1
2,[Longitude],[Latitude],[Altitude],0,0,0,10
3,[Longitude],[Latitude],[Altitude],0,0,0,15
4,...
There must be no specific time intervalls, just fill in all the points of
the route you have got one after another and call the "time" 1,2,..
Save your file, fire FGTools, go to the AIpage and start with "Load *.csv
logfile(1)". For the rest look into the *.pdf manual!
Ask me, if you have any further problems.
This will save you *a lot* of time!!! as you only have to write the first
file with your data (time-counter,lat,lon,alt).
Might be a help for your next AI-scenerio!
Regards
Georg
