This python script takes a YS Flight scenery file (.fld), and creates a GeoJSON of the features on that scenery. The GeoJSON (Either points, lines or polygons, depending on choice), can be loaded into a web map, a GIS software, or your own program, allowing you to view .FLD files.
import FieldParser as fp
map = fp.FieldParser('path to your map/your map.fld')
polygons = map.getGeoJSON("Polygon")
lines = map.getGeoJSON("Line")
points = map.getGeoJSON("Point")
How you use those geojson files after this is up to you! The format of the geojson is this:
{"features": [{"geometry": {"coordinates": [[[-16047.7, 2706.82], [-17292.03, -9331.69], [-26816.6, -8480.56]]], "type": "Polygon"}, "properties": {"colour": ["85", "153", "142"], "type": "POLY"}, "type": "Feature"}], "type": "FeatureCollection"}
type is the type of geometry, so polygon, quadstrip, quadrangle, triangle, etc.
colour is the rgb colour as a list.
Note to self - export this as an int...
I have included the geojson files for hawaii's polygons and points (There aren't any lines in that one)
This has been loaded into QGIS, under a meter projection (27700)

- Big thanks to Decaff42 for words of encouragement on Discord,
- Soji for making YSFLIGHT... Wouldn't have spent years of my youth learning 3D modelling and coding if it wasn't for YS.
