I generated the following flight plan for KSFO to KRNO. $ cat fp-KSFO-KRNO OAK CC TZZ SA MCC HNW SWR KRNO Distance of WPTs from KSFO (rounded to the nearest nm) OAK 9nm CC7820nm!! TZZ 51nm SA 63nm MCC 77nm HNW 5708nm!! SWR136nm KRNO 166nm Could someone verify if the script is spitting out the wrong list of way points or that Flightgear CVS is picking up the navaids on the other side of the planet. Other flights sound about right, eg. KDEN to KASE (thanks for that one Funkapus). I have included the output of the your script as it appeared on screen at the end of my email. Seb, Anyway thanks for a great little script.

[Flightgear-devel] script for building flight plans like
hello, i've written perl script to build flight plans in fgfs http://seb.marque.free.fr/fichiers/scripts/perl/plandevol-eng the goal was to make a very light single file appli to give enough informations to go from a point to another following a route composed by navaids. it includes the sid and star procedures with the good files installed (the xpgoodway.com team let us the use of them) in $FGROOT/Navaids/, the correction for slave deviation of NAV, can write the route in a file usable by --flight-plan option of fgfs, use $FGROOT environnement variable, and different things like that (./plandevol-eng --help for help). It doesn't care about fuel consumption, ete/eta, either wind correction. I worked as I could to translate it in english but maybe some of you will consider my english as sh... ;) ok this is a point. an other point is that I submitted this script in the AVSim/FlightGear forum and i've been asked to translate it from perl to nasal, to be used directly in the fgfs frontend. as i am very new in nasal, i'm trying to learn all functions yet implemented in nasal from fgfs sources. but it will take a while (as i'm not a programmer too), so if anybody is ok to help, it would be with great pleasure ;) yet another point! i've made this other script to help me in the choice of the airport to reach. indeed it shows the airports which are on a circle around my aircraft (in this script, comments are only in french, sorry): http://seb.marque.free.fr/fichiers/scripts/perl/ballade maybe it could be cool to implement this in nasal too. all of these scripts are under gpl license off course. bye seb --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
