May 3, 200323 yr Hi everyoneI've just installed PIC on a new pc (second hand but new for me). Doing a quick flight tonight I noticed that some of the airports were misplaced when in plan mode on the ND. eg: Heathrow was displayed as being about 5 miles north of Luton:-hmmm Probably a coincidence but I have also lost the 'click' sound when turning on/off external lights.I'm running PIC on Win ME, Fs2002 with the 2k2 patch installed (not the 3rd party device one). All progs are updated to latest Airac.Many thanks for any advicePaul
May 3, 200323 yr Hi PaulI've noticed this too, seems to be a problem with the lastest Airac. To solve it I've taken the 2 airport files from the last airac and used them with the other files in the latest airac. Hopefully it will be fixed next cycle.Cya
May 4, 200323 yr Richard,I am unable to get the Airports to display in the ND when pressing the Airports Button.
May 4, 200323 yr Moderator Hi Richard,I'm having this problem too but when I opened the airport.dat file and checked the entry for EGLL it looked okay. Here it is...EGLL 51.477500-000.461389Haven't burst into tears just yet and I have every confidence that you will fix it.Many thanks. Ray (Cheshire, England).

May 4, 200323 yr Hi RichardYeah I can't figure this out. It's only the UK airports that display incorrectly for me. They seem to be about 200 miles further east and about 100 miles further south than they should be.For example, Jersey (EGJJ) is displayed in mid-France, EGLL Heathrow is about the most westerly airfield in the UK etc.I have a feeling that EGLL displays correctly.
May 4, 200323 yr Hi guys,thanks for all your feedback - will look what i can find out about this strange "bug" - will call you back here in the forum, when i
May 4, 200323 yr Hi RichardI've just found out that if you program a route using any of the mispalced airports then the problem corects itself:-hmmm Thanks for all your hard workPaul
