• 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.

hello.

I am developing a acars for FS9/FSX for my VA and need a help to solve some problems.

I know it's not possible to know which is the active airport in FlightSimulator, ie, have no way of knowing which is the airport where the aircraft is parked.

I had thought about doing a calculation on the latitude / longitude of the plane to see if from this point up to a certain radius is the airport. That's the best approach?

If there is a way to access the database of airports FS9/FSX to catch their locations? Or localzações these are accurate compared to the real airports?

What would be the ideal size of the radius to determine if we are at the airport.

Thank you!
 
Did you ever find a solution to this problem?
Or does somebody else can point me in the right direction? Have the exact same problem...

edit: Or could I just use the nearest airport list FSUIPC provides? That should be accurate enough, no?
