Jay Kae Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Hey all, I have been getting a lot of emails off late about whether or not there are FSDiscover files available but if anyone has any can you please tell me where to get them so that I can maybe bundle them and make them available for those amongst us who are not nav savvy like the rest of us All help welcomed !!

tpollen Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 There are some available put together by gwolb for OZx 1.1 here: http://aussiex.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=755&hilit=fsdiscover I'm sure it will get updated to OZx 2.0 before long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwolb Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 hehe, been there done that. I setup the .dat file for all the airports for OZx 2.0 and can post here also, did not get around to posting them the other day. I think there is over 240 entry lines in that file now!!! Will get setup later tonight. All I did for those that can not wait, is to bring up the KML file that was provided with the OZX 2.0 documents, and copy over the new 2.0 info to the .dat file that I have for OZx 1.1 and then copy to the my documents\fsdiscovery location. Had them all then. Will do when I get home from work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwolb Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Try this for the files, and put this in your fsdiscovery files location... http://www.adrive.com/public/fe627a78c23a8f28ecbed857af5d782560d08b8679b263c996abf970efffc80b.html This is a new file hosting site that I had to try to switch to, ISP changes previous setup, and could not use any longer. If someone could test and let me know how it works! thanks. Once this is tested, can get over on the OZx site, and you want to link on that site feel free JayKae.

gwolb Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 hehe, its not that we are lazy, just dont to miss any of these little gems of airports! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice_King Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Sorry I think it's lazy, just go find 'em and don't wait for big neon signs in the air, they don't exist in the real world. We constantly remark at things and say Oh how real is this with the great scenery and ground sets available today and yet some want to basically cheat to find things. Not in the spirit of "As real as it gets" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmrich28 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I also work 50 hrs/week so I don't have the time..to each their own. I just turn them off when I have time to "hunt" Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotspot Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 big neon signs in the air There are ways to use FSDiscover which need time and experience with the program to discover (pun intended ) which are not lazy, are not necessarily used regularly, and can enhance the 'as real as it gets' experience- and as I can see your point Mozz, I'll say no more about these methods, but leave it to you (if you're so inclined) to 'just go find 'em'.

dmrich28 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 try it again, it wasn't working for me either but got it short time ago. Thanks GW Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tailgunner Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Hi, Gwolb. I downloaded Ozx 2.0 Points of Interest, but on opening it, the file is labelled Ozx 1.1 Points of Interest, and the contents are certainly identical to the 1.1 file [which worked wonderfully well : big thanks for that!

gwolb Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I forgot to change the name of the file in the .dat file correctly, and still had it at 1.1, the file does contain all of the 2.0 files. I did correct the name in the actual file, used excel, and it comes up as 2.0 now. I sent the corrected file to the download site if you want to download again.

gwolb Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Re-downloaded the file after correcting the name in the file and it shows OZX 2.0 Points of interest correctly now. Mango: not sure why that would be a problem, I tested the download here with Firefox 3.0.5 and it worked fine for me. Let me know if you still have problems and I can email it to you.

Tailgunner Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Hi again, Gwolb. It's one of those days ...I now get "the file you are trying to access is no longer available publicly" !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwolb Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Use this link, had to post updated link after downloading the new file with correct name in the file, sorry about the confusion. http://www.adrive.com/public/633c13e518f852d9ab7cf3d2300c32905886f0e2d824da99479541c239a5f1ec.html Just tested this, and it works fine, let me know if any other issues.

Tailgunner Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Many thanks, Gwolb. Got it now! Could you please refresh a shaky octogenarian memory? I had a note on how to load this type of file into Discovery, but it's lost. I tend to screw up files without a how-to abc... Regards Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwolb Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 You should be able to find the path in following type of format: C:\Users\Gary W...\Documents\FSDiscover Files I just put this .dat file in this path, and then when your in FSX, goto the options in FSDiscovery and put check mark by the OZx 2.0 points of intrest and that should be all you need to do. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tailgunner Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Your patience is much appreciated! Found the path, so fingers crossed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwolb Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 yea, good luck with the path, takes awhile to get used to how FSDiscovery works but is not bad once you get used to it. Will check back later to see how it goes for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Kae Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 I will add the file soon to the OZx library so that it is easy to find for people Ozx_2.0_Points_of_Interest.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwolb Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Thanks JayKae, feel free to setup anyway you like, glad I could help out with setup of file. And big thanks to person that setup the original KML file for all of the airports originally, that comes with the airport documentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
