The Wind importer loads a tabular definition file as available in Import/Wind/weather_grid.txt and creates the 3D Wind zone in the scenario.
When the importer is called, the file selection dialog pops up to select the file to load.
If the format of the file differs from the sample one, imp_wind.cpp can be modified and the DLL imp-wind.dll must be rebuild using CodeGear C++ Builder.
Navaids
The Navaids importer parse a given file to import all defined navaids with the following data per line, separated per tab:
int station_id,
int type,
int nav_id,
double lat,
double lon,
double alt,
double properties,
double coverage,
int status,
double frequency
type can be on any of these values:
1: VORTAC
2: DME
3: VOR
4: TACAN
5: ILS
6: NDB
7: ATC
8: TIS-B
Meshes
The Mesh importer is here a sample showing how to create from C code a new Mesh (or many) and to add them into the scenario.
See the file Import/Meshes/imp_mesh.cpp for explanations. The DLL imp-wind.dll must be rebuild using CodeGear C++ Builder.
Entities
Imports into the current scenario all Entities defined in the Import/Entities/test.txt file, whose format has been predefined.
When the importer is called, the file selection dialog pops up to select the file to load.
If the format of the file differs from the sample one, imp_entities.cpp can be modified and the DLL imp-entities.dll must be rebuild using CodeGear C++ Builder.
To remove one importer from the list, open the file Import/import.lst and change the first character 1 to 0 in the line containing the importer to remove.
