Make some yourself. Charts are easy to find and a quick search will find you the syntax.

This is what FlightGear is all about; doing it yourself and sharing it to others.

A quick search would also find existing packages...

Something like
<scenery directory>/Airports/I/C/A/ICAO.procedures.xml
Where ICAO is your airport code.

Ugh.
So, for example if you want to import a sid/star file for VTSP, you name the file VTSP.procedures.xml and put it in <scenery directory>/V/T/S/ . In there you will likely find VTSP.twr.xml but not an existing *. procedures.xml file.

Substitute VTSP for your airport code.

The following is only a guess at the format... but a pretty good guess based on actual SID/STAR files I've seen.

Notes:

In the explanation below, the name like "ProceduresDB" is the tag - so it's actually <ProceduresDB> in the XML file.
The subsequent parameters, like "build" are attributes - so it's actually <ProceduresDB build=""> in the XML file.

Code: Select all
ProceduresDB [build] (one of these per file)
    |
    Airport [ICAOcode] (one of these per file)
        |
        Sid [Name, Runways (comma separated - example: "08L,08R")]  (many of these per Airport)
            |
            Sid_Waypoint [ID (unique sequential integer)] (many of these per Sid)
                |
                Name
                Type
                Latitude
                Longitude
                Speed
                Altitude
                AltitudeCons
                AltitudeRestriction (one of "above" or "below" or "at")
                Hdg_Crs (optional. example value = "1")
                Hdg_Crs_Value (optional. heading degrees)
                Sp_Turn (optional. example value = "Auto")
            ...
            Sid_Transition [Name] (just one of these per Sid)
                |
                SidTr_Waypoint [ID] (many of these per Sid_Transition)

        Star [Name] (many of these per Airport)
            |
            Star_Waypoint [ID] (many of these per Star)
            ...
            Star_Transition [Name] (just one of these per Star)
                |
                StarTr_Waypoint [ID] (many of these per Star_Transition)

        Approach [Name] (e.g., ILS08L - uses IL, if appropriate, and the runway name by convention)
            |
            App_Waypoint [ID]
            App_Transition [Name] (just one of these per Approach)
                |
                AppTr_Waypoint [ID] (many of these per App_Transition)


Here is a link to an example to show how to implement what I've outlined above: https://github.com/fgx/fgx-airports/blo ... s/KATL.xml

Hope this helps!

Edit: I also found this bash script to help deploy all of the SID/STAR xml files - I recall I had to edit it a tad go make it work but it's a handy script: viewtopic.php?f=25&t=29036#p280561
Control tower to a 747: “United 239 heavy, your traffic is a Fokker, one o’clock, three miles, Eastbound.”
United 239: “Approach, I’ve always wanted to say this… I’ve got the little Fokker in sight.”

I just did some minor editing and added my explanation in a new section.
Control tower to a 747: “United 239 heavy, your traffic is a Fokker, one o’clock, three miles, Eastbound.”
United 239: “Approach, I’ve always wanted to say this… I’ve got the little Fokker in sight.”

now i see what that previously mentioned script is for that renames and moves the xml files into the proper directories... it will have problems for any airports that have only three letter ICAO codes but i suspect that they are generally small airports and don't have such procedures... it wasn't very long ago that we moved a huge number of ICA related xml files up one directory in the scenery/Airports tree to put them in their proper place...

eg: the files for airport 00C (Animas Air Park, Durango, Colorado, USA) go in Airports/0/0, not Airports/0/0/C...

FWIW: the only *.procedures.xml file i find distributed by flightgear is [...]/Terrasync/Airports/L/F/R/LFRB.procedures.xml... the only thing i see comparing it to others found from the wiki links is that the others are missing the
Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
line at the top of the file... not sure what problems may arise from the lack or existence of that line, though...
