fs architect

[neilb]

I know the answer is probably simple, but I have just started playing with FsArchitect, but I am having trouble with the Lat/Long that FSX uses and the Lat/Long FsA uses, how do I change the Lat/Long in FSX? Neil

Do you mean "How FSX displays the Lat/Lon?"

What method does FSA display?

Thanks 4 getting bk 2 me. the lat/long in FSX displays for example N32 53.78 whereas FSA only goes up to .60, I know it can be changed n FSX but I don't know how. Thanks. Neil

Neil, search the usual flightsim sites such as flightsim.com for a file named laloconv.zip

It's a conversion table and will cure your problem.:)

There you will find a free degree/mi/sec converter. As I understand flight sim used to display lat/lon differently. Then somewhere between FS98 to 2k or something they changed it. Actually there is a way you can make FS9 or maybe even FSX display it diffrently by altering the config file. I can't remember axactly how but it's not hard at all. Anyway, try the above. I use that to convert. Bob
