• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

It has nothing to do with ADE as such, but it's involved in this story, so I'm posting here.

Made an airport in ADE, runway is 1202 by 30 meters, heading in ADE is 151.22 degrees. Next I made a four-sided poly(it won't be ground poly) with same dimensions and exported it as FSX model, placed it in the scenery with the same coordinates and heading as data for runway in ADE. It sure does overlap with ADE runway, but, surprise, surprise, if I want the long edges of the poly to be parallel to the ADE runway, I need do give poly a heading of 151.19, that is 0.03 degrees difference? Mag. var. for location is -1.9, so this has nothing to do with the issue. No big deal, just curious if somebody in the audience has any idea why it's happening.
 
Could be. But the Earth is curved for both elements, I guess. And both were compiled with same compiler - SDK's bglcomp.exe.
