hi mutley,
a big thanks for the tutorial. i had to download a free online xml compiler to create a xml dummy file. thereafter it was a breeze creating waypoints around airports in south india. i was able to make realistic flight plans in fs9 and had a great time flying many aircraft in the fs9 which do not have a fmc .
i also fly the x plane. but i find the fs9 is more immersive ..easier to fly and a comes with a great ATC package too. i am a real life dhc q 400 pilot with spicejet....but spend a lot of time on my flt sim. i plan to make a full set of waypoints for all the airports in
