File Description: LJSceneGen is a scenery creation utility for the Microsoft (MS) Flight Simulator FS9 (aka FS2004 or Century of Flight). The program presents a series of forms where various options for VORs, NDBs, Exclusion Rectangles, Markers, Waypoints and Scenery Library objects can be entered. The program will try to connect FS9 via FSUIPC or WideFS. If a FSUIPC connection is found, the location (Lat. Long. and Alt and others if available and appropriate) will be automatically retrieved. You can also move the aircraft to a new location by entering a Lat. and Long. pair and clicking "Move Aircraft". Multiple combinations VORs, NDBs, Exclusion Rectangles, Markers, Waypoints and Scenery Library objects can be saved and each saved object can be edited. After all the desired objects are created, an XML file can be created. This file can be submitted to the FS2004 SDK BGL compiler "BGLCOMP.exe". A file with an extension of .BGL will result which you then place in your Addon Scenery/scenery/ folder to view your just created scenery object(s) after you restart FS9. This or other properly formulated .XML scenery files can be imported and reviewed. For example, the FS9 file NVNAMC0.bgl can be decompiled, imported into LJSceneGen and then viewed. Alessandro Antonini's excellent BGLXMLdecompiler program makes possible the conversion from NVNAMC0.bgl. to NVNAMC0.xml which can then be read by LJSceneGen. (This file is available at Alec's site: http://www.cpinf.net ). Each VOR and NDB found in this decompiled xml file can be reviewed and if you want, you can move your aircraft to the object's location by clicking "Move Aircraft". This program is written in MS's C# language using .NET framework 1.1. The CLR .NET Framework 1.1 must be installed on your computer before the program will run. The freeware version of Pete Dowson's FSUIPC is not supported. Users should be very familar with the FS2004 scenery SDK. This version only knows VORs, NDBs, Exclusion Rectangles, Markers, Waypoints, and Scenery Library objects. It doesn't yet know about Airports Runways ILSes etc. This is not a "What You See Is What You Get" program but instead takes a semi-automated fill-in-the-blanks approach. The program is a scenery creation utility. As such, inexperienced scenery designers may not find it user friendly.
