• 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.

Moving Airport

I'm working with FSX Planner R26b.
I am attampting to move an airport to align with a sattelite picture of an airport CBM5. I imported the background picture and the FSX location for the airport is off just a tad. I selected Edit - Move Airport and attempted to edit. A Longitude Error box advised me that "The longitude you have entered could net be parsed". I'm seeing the longidude for the current airport center point at 131 06 59.999 S. Longitude is either East (E) or West (W). I do not know if this is causing the conflict or not. Anyway I thought this should be commented on. Here's a picture.

The lat/ is showing correctly as North and West N - W on the Airport Data sidebar of the FSX Planner.

Hi Russel,
Forgot one other thing. I'm running Vista Ultimate.

Found the problem. The Longitude defaults to "S" in the New Airport Centerpoint option field. I just replaced that with a "W".

I'll have to enter that as a bug - shouldn't default to 'S', but rather 'W' or 'E'
