FSX Creating terminal waypoints issue...

[Fdd_fr]

Hello,

With our SID, STAR, Approaches database, we add all missing waypoints in the FSX database. We use a XML file to add En route waypoints.

But we would like create sometimes, terminal waypoints, about misplaced FSX stock waypoint. Today, we use the "USER" waypoints to do that, but it will be better to use terminal waypoints (USER waypoints doesn't appears on the FSX GPS map).sometimes, we need to create waypoints.

So I added a fake airport in our AIRAC file, to use it as a terminal waypoint container.

<Airport
      country="FreenavDBgroup Database"
      state="Freenav"
      city="XFMC"
      name="XFD-FMC"
      lat="-84"
      lon="0"
      alt="0.0F"
      magvar="34.0999984741211"
      ident="XFMC">

    <Waypoint waypointType="UNNAMED"
        waypointRegion="XF"
        waypointIdent="BBBBB"
        lat="-84.001000"
        lon="0.0010"
        magvar="0"/>
   </Airport>

As you can see, I added a waypoint, for test, called "BBBBB".

After compilation, this waypoint appears on the FSX GPS map, in blue color; But when I want to add it with the FSX GPS macro, with my FMC code, this waypoint is not inserted in the flight plan.

If I insert the airport in the flight plan "A______XFMC", that's work. But not the terminal waypoint

For all other waypoints that we added to our AIRAC file, all has always worked fine.

So, why a terminal waypoint doesn't work in this declaration ? Do I forgot something ?

Thanks

François

I found the issue !!

Fake airport (and terminal waypoints) must be compiled in a separate XML file. If it is placed in the same XML files that En route waypoints, that dosen't work. But now, I have 2 files :
- one for the En route waypoints
- one for the fake airport and terminal waypoints (and I can use any 2 letters regional code, no importance ! )

And all work fine now !
