UK Waypoints

Hi Guys,

I am getting desperate to find the following waypoints in UK: EG10, EGDA, EGF1, EGU1, EGU8, EGU9, EGUD, EGXI, EGY1, EGZ9, K204, LXG3 and SWE7. If you can either tell me where to locate any of them, or are willing to send them to me, PLEASE contact me. I have looked everywhere that I can think of. I have a wonderful traffic file (Traffic_Retro_Vulcan_FSX.bgl - may have originally been Fs9) that needs them, and I can no longer contact the author. Any help will be most appreciated.

You'll probably find they're included with various MAIW packages, but I don't think you can download them individually. I've got some you mention, but not all.
 
Are those waypoints hidden in bgl files? Is there any possibilty to create own waypoint? Needed software?
 
The MAIW packages add the waypoint BGL files in the MAIW addon scenery folders, they are named like AF2_EGU8.bgl (RAF Boulmer SAR point 4). You can also make them yourself with the awesome freeware tool Airport Design Editor X (aka ADEX, created by John Masterson).
Basically they are simple airport AFCAD's with only a control tower viewpoint and an invisible, short dummy runway.
 
Hi Bill,

Do you have this sorted?

If not I'll gladly make you a new FSX traffic file if you can send me the AI Aircraft and flight plan [if you have one] or route details.

Regards.

Hi Bill,

if this is from the package that can be found on flightsim.com and utilizes John Young's AI Vulcan then that is the packages that I made a few years ago. From memory the waypoint's I use were from those included in MAIW packages. And the ai file was for fs9 but you should be able to covert them ok

Fine, thanks! Can I also use those with AI traffic? If so, should I use "touch and goes" on those dummy airports (waypoints)?

I tried to make AI traffic to some tricky airports like Lukla - didn't succeed with traditional methods. AI airplanes couldn't make it over high mountains (airplanes appeared on airports but couldn't fly there). Putting these waypoints through valleys might do the job.

Yes, add TNG and make sure the next leg DEP time is within 10 min of the ETA of the current leg to make sure the AI will not land but instead will fly on to the next destination.
 
Last three Waypoints

Hi Again guys,

Thanks to a lot of help from all of you, I am down to needing only three more waypoints to have fully functional Vulcan traffic. The three that I still need are EG10, LXG3 and SWE7. I know that EG10 is from the UK, but I don't recognize the last two codes. Anyone know which countries they are from? I suspect they are not UK because of the non-EG prefix?

Bill
 
Might LXG be Gib related? Still doesn't help much if you don't know which MAIW set goes there.

SWE7 Waypoint

Hi Dave,

Thanks for finding it. I have downloaded the MAIW Gripens Scenery_Mike Guenthner. I am looking in the MAIW Swedish Air Bases/Scenery folder. I don't see a BGL with SWE7. What am I missing/done wrong?


BR, Bill
 
Hi Dave,

Thanks for the location (I know enough to look there - so why didn't I do it?).

LXG3 is almost certainly Gibraltar related, as well as MAIW - I'll scratch my head on this one. Need to go there for another search for EG10 anyway,

Bill
