MOVING A "YE" TRANSMITTER LOCATION
Here are the instructions for modifying the transmitter code in the ZB folder to have it broadcasting from a new location. It changes the switch position displaying #5 from KDVK to your new desired location. Find the ZB folder in the main FS9 Gauges folder.
The code to be modified is in a file titled zb3.xml in a folder titled ZB. Make a backup of the zb3.xml file and save it in a safe place. Then open the zb3.xml file in the ZB folder using notepad, and navigate to the row starting :
<!-- This is the code for re-positioning the carriers -->
Look below it for the row starting: l25 4 == if{
In that row, replace the number 37.5667 with the latitude of the new location in degrees (north is positive)
Do not use the degree-minute-second format. Use the decimal degree format.
Replace the -84.7667 with the longitude of the new location in degrees (east is positive). Again, use the decimal degree format.
Next, find the row:
<Tooltip>Danville KY ID=XO</Tooltip>
Replace “Danville KY” with whatever string you want the tooltip to say to identify the new YE location. Do NOT modify the ID=XO part of that line.
Save the file as zb3.xml
To change any of the other 4 switch positions, follow a similar procedure.
The system has not been tested further south than -60 degrees, or north of 65 degrees. It has been checked with the transmitter on one side of the Date Line (180 deg. East) and the receiver on the other side. If you need help, I will be glad to edit your zb3.xml file for you.
