Is it possible to provide GE Flight Simulator inputs by file
(generated offlne)?

I would like to simulate a flight providing the waypointys, commands,
etc. by means of a file (predicted trajecytory). I mean, not using
neither joystick or keyboard.

I have been trying GE "flyto" and "lookat" commands but results are
not as expected.

Has anyone dealt with this before in Flight Simulator? Any KML code
example?

Thanks!!!

Hi Juan,

I started to look at this as a solution but like you results were not
good enough or flexible for what I wanted. In the end I devised a
solution totally using Java and VB. It took me the best part of 5
months to get it to a position that I thought suitable. The results
are impressive.

You might also draw inspiration from

Its a Auto-Pilot for the Flight Simulator. It actully takes control of
the plane.

But it doesnt use a KML interface, so it wont really be usable for
recreating a flight.
