OT - Tracking Software, how to develop?

fsxar177

Long-Time Enthusiast
Good-evening gents,
Off topic, but I know we get the most traffic through this forum. Maybe some advice could be given?

I need some type of flight tracking software, perhaps combined with FSUIPC, that could do the following. Where would I start to program such a beast? Or should I ask for help!?!

Log standard flight tracking, which could be viewed via map.
Log flight analysis, speeds, altitudes. (similar to fsrecorder)
Time (stopwatch) between predetermined waypoints. Must read through hundredths of a second.
Confirm type of aircraft used, and .air file & .cfg parameters.
Be able to export this information via .txt, or similar.

Anxious to see what you folks have to say. Posted similar thread at fsdeveloper.

We use a program in the Round The World Race (RTWR) that does some of those things but not all. It tracks flights, produces a map on completion of the flight, has the ability for online live tracking plus it will output a data log in .txt format. The program is called FS Duenna and is available from:

Larry,
Thank-you. I am familiar with that program. It is certainly similar, to what I need. I'm sure the perfect fit will require some programming.
