Hello, i need help for adding the Kai Tak airport to the navdata/airports in PIC767 ? i use the ultimate hongkongscenery package,currently VHHH is shown as VHHH 22.308919 113.914603could anyone tell me the working after the decimal there forthe co-ordinates ? even a basic edit to add the airport can workcan it not ? if so how because FS recognises the IGS approachto RWY13 anyway ,if i got the FMC to recognise VHXX that wouldbe excellent to fly out of the legendary Kai Tak Thanks Deepan

Hello geoff, thanks a lot for the reply (should have done a proper search m'self) :-hang ,but while your at it any idea abouthow the LAT/LONGS are coded after the decimal point ? i used toprogram the full kai-tak approach from departure from RWY13entirely on the nav-dash years ago but i've forgotten the formatVHHH 22.308919 113.914603 in the AIRPORTS DAT is actually N22"18.53' E113"54.88' appreciate any help thanks again Deepan

My understanding is that N22"18.53' E113"54.88' translates to 22.1853 113.5488.I should point out at this point that I've never actually tried this myself, so re-read the reference and backup your navdata! If it does work, I'd keep a copy of the update in case you decide to update your AIRAC data using the Richard Stefan site and then you can just paste it into the new file.Best of luck

I am pretty certain that N22"18.53' translates to 22.30883333333, that is decimal degrees (not minutes and decimal minutes). At least the FMC uses decimal degrees in the flightplan and SID/STAR files.Lee Hetherington (KBED)http://vatsim.pilotmedia.fi/statusindicato...tor=OD1&a=a.jpg

Hi Lee,you're absolutely right - the coordinates will have to be in decimal format.Cheers,Gosta.http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/images/wxrebeta.jpg

Aahh yes , thanks a lot for your replies Geoff,Lee and gostaam just about to attempt adding Kai Tak with the info you'vegiven me ,oh and thanks for the posky merge Lee ;) brilliantwill post back when i'm hopefully successful flyingin-out of the great Kai Tak with all my addons ,well all PSS/PIC at least dont know about Dreamfleet though ..thanks again

:-( negative,my entries worked with the PSS but the PIC stilldoesnt recognise VHXX ,i used the followingAIRPORTS dat folder VHXX 22.319167 114.201023wpNavAPT folder Kai Tak VHXX1310930136 22.326241114.192497111.9008800013 Kai Tak VHXX3110930316 22.309570114.209178109.9031600013its no-go the fmc still returns a "not in database" message,any ideas ?

Hi,first you must set the airport-datas in AIRPORTS.DAT and in the wpNavAPT.txt file. Second, the files are sorted after Lat and Long coordinates, so add it into the right position.Third, and thats for me :-)When you sent me the runway coordinates, i add the airport in the next AIRAC cycle. After that you can expect VHXX into all major addons ...

a message from the master itself :-sun1 NAVDATA :-sun1 what more can i ask Hello Richard, Thanks for the reply, in fact i had a feelingand was hoping you would do that (adding VHXX to the airac) andthats exactly what happened fantastic :-beerchug now i dont haveto worry about all my sims ;) and keep updating the files ,i may as well thank you for the wonderful NAVDATA site while i'mhere Lee's merge and contributions like yours very obviouslychange our flight simming experience to make it brilliant cheers Deepan Mehta PS Kai Tak VHXX1310930136 22.326241114.192497111.9008800013 ^^^ i'm not sure about if that should be 088 there though richard whichis the course for the IGS..also the elevation is 15 FT..and i've looked at that charts maybe i could send them to you if you wantso maybe it should readKai Tak VHXX1310930135 22.326241114.192497111.9008800015Kai Tak VHXX3110930315 22.309570114.209178109.9031500015

wow ... thanks for your very kind words and "cheers" with the beer :-)Ok, now back to "business":Kai Tak (ICAO VHXX) is added now, and you can expect it with the next AIRAC Cycle in all addons. I don

OOPS Richard, sorry about this but i think maybe you didnt see myreply about the 013 RWY hdg ,i just downloaded the Airac's andmy fears were right ..just see the post previous to the above messageHong Kong Intl (Kai Tak)VHXX13 10930135 22.326241 114.192497111.9008800015that should be the correct entry for RWY13 and accordinglythe reciprocal for RWY31 the hdg is 315...my apologies but i waswondering if you had read my post...the airacs willl showVHXX having a 088 hdg for one RWY which is the IGS approach HDGmy apologies...but i hope u get this message at least..i have corrected my airacs for the various addons but since i dont knowcode i could'nt correct the dreamfleet one :( ,hope u can remedythis soon else i will be responsible for relocating VHXX :( amdour fellow simmer's might get a little disoriented on the alreadytricky approach:-lol ..thanks for adding Kai Tak
