• 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.

Invalid airport coordinates

Hi,

When I used the Airport editor in AI Flight planner 1.603, I have coordinates like this : 53,8* -78,916667* for an airport situated in a Northern part of Québec. The airport editor continously gives the message that the latitude or longitude is invalid. I have try to use a dot as a decimal separator or a degree (°) for the degrees instead of the (*) but to no avail. The OS I use (Vista 32 with Canada French language code) has a comma as a decimal separator but changing it to a dot does not solve the problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

Well, until Don comes along with the proper answer, if this is an airport you are adding, maybe try "Find/Collect Airports" instead.

PF, I can enter 58.3*, -78.916667*, with the English (Canada) regional setting but not with a a comma as decimal seperator. The comma should work (and used to), so I must have broken something. With the French (Canada) setting, like you, I can't enter either.

Your timing is perfect. I expect to make another release within the next day or so to resolve several other issues. Hopefully, I can fix this as well.

Hi guys,

Proud to see that I can do something perfect ;)

And very glad to see that Don will find a fix for that.

Many thanks for your answers.

As a matter of fact, the airport concerned is CSU2 (Chissassibi) which was wrongfully entered in an imported flight plan as CYKU. I did change the airport id in the flightplan but it is when I tried to add it in the airports list that I encountered the aforesaid problem. This morning though, opening the flightplan, I found that the airport with the good id was in the list and not the bad one.

Cheers.
