• 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.

Hi Guys

I was sat thinking the other day that if i could link simconnect to a SQL database with GUID's and lat longs of objects in would fsx be able to read the data and display them at the location in the database. Is this possible or am I just dreaming.

Many thanks
 
You may want to take a look at SODE or SimDisplay. They don't use SQL databases or GUIDs, but they do allow placement of objects based on lists of titles and latitude/longitudes.
 
And I sit here thinking why I would want to impose the overhead of a SQL database and a DLL to process the data when all I have to do is make an object placement BGL file that FSX can read... GUID - Check!, Lat/Lon - Check! Native FSX format - Check!

Now excuse me while I go build a round toit...
 
ok them main reason for using the database is because I run a VA and would like to inject scenery around at different times the idea being I can just switch it on and off in the database and when everybody loads up it only loads the scenery that is enabled.
 
Well it's certainly possible to build something like that. FS Active Fires does something similar, but downloads and parses GIS data instead of using a database.
