creation of a flight sim based program
Posted: Fri Apr 09, 2010 5:50 pm
Hi all, its been a while since i have been on here.
I'm looking for some assistance at where to start and what i'm looking for on a project i am trying.
I am looking to develop a flight tracking and automated submission application.
Heres the low down of what i need to do.
The simulator runs a live multiplayer system on several servers. The simulator knows their position,altitude and lots of different aspects of the flight using xml based flight dynamic systems.
At the moment i think i can get it to spit out some log files in a csv format, but am hoping to get it to do it in xml format.
There are two elements to this question, firstly i would like the application to "start tracking" a pilot and transfer data to a google map.
secondly once a flight has ended, populate a "report" from data held in the logged csv or xml file so a pilot can automatically submit it to my website.
heres an image of the sort of submitting card.
i would need another stack to start the tracking app i believe.
i know the following code is wrong, i have only a basic knowledge creating only one previous app.
I have no idea really what to look at and how to tell the app how to read xml fields, so any assistance would be appreciaed.

Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put field xmltextfield<callsign> into "tcallsignfld"
put field xmltextfield<aircraft> into "tactypefld"
put field xmltextfield<fuelatdep> into "tstartfuelfld"
put field xmltextfiled<fuelatarr> into "tendfuelfld"
subtract field "tendfuelfld" from "tstartfuelfld"
put result into "ttotalconsumedfld"
put field xmltextfield<depticao> into "tdepicaofld"
put field xmltextfield <arricao> into "tarricaofld"
put field xmltextfield <deptwow> into "tdeptimefld"
put field xmltextfield<arrwow> into "tarrwow"
subtract field "tarricaofld" from "tdepicaofld"
put result into "flttimefld"
end mouseUpAlex
