• 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.

Can AIFP extract aircraft/airport strings for TDDB?

Hi,
I was wondering if AIFP can extract aircraft and airport strings which can be used with the FSX/P3D SDK Trafficdatabasebuilder.exe. I generally use AIFP to manage flightplans, but I find TDBB very powerful in generating random flightplans with the airports and aircrafts I want.
I generally trick TDBB adding gates or runway characteristics in the fs10.airports.dat, but it would be easier to get the string like:

KSEA,47.448999994,-122.309305519,132.0,B,10,1.00,United States
{
RUNWAY,11894,150,HARD
RUNWAY,9421,150,HARD
PARKING,18.0,GATE
PARKING,36.0,GATE
PARKING,18.0,GATE
PARKING,18.0,GATE
...
}

for my custom AFCADS, or an aircraft string like

BE58-1,Beech Baron 58,200,40,120,50,661,4000,HARD,7,RAMP,50,yes,no

for any aircraft.

Thanks in advance for any help
 
Probably better to use FSX to generate an airport list from the Tools menu (assuming you've got the TrafficToolbox installed in FSX), then use Notepad or similar to extract the lines you want (search for the ICAO code of the airport in question in the dumped list).
I've been doing this for years in FS9 ... works like a dream ;)
The aircraft list you'll need to generate manually, but it only takes a few seconds to add a new aircraft to your aircraft list then you've got it for all time.
Good luck.
