Hi all,
I'm trying to add a dangerous area and need a little bit of clarification on the process. There seems to be descrepency between the FsP
Lat/Lon numbers and the ones you get in slew mode in FS2004. For instance:
In the Dangerous area .cfg the Eiffel Tower location is set as:
lat=48.8606;lon=2.2975
But in slew mode it comes in as:
lat=48 51.44;lon=2 17.75
(I'm also assuming that these co-ords mean North and East when positive, and South and West when negative)
Now the only thing I can figure is that FsP uses a percentage to calculate the second half of the numbers (ie; 51.44 is 86.06% of the
maximum value for this variable (in the lat=48.8606 part of the equation), although this seems unnecessarily complex to me. This would
be backed up by the fact that there is no N 48 86.06, as the 86 part would only go up to 59. So a bit confusing really![Wonder Wonder](http://www.fspassengers.com/forum/images/smilies/wonder.gif)
Can anyone help?
