longitude and latitude decimals

Hello rotorheads,I

Ok this can be very time consuming and teadious, but once set up it works a treat!I assume you are using the FS2002 lat and Long, so as an example I'll use the co-ordinates that I just pulled off one of my saved flights North of Aberdeen Scotland.N 57 24.43W 2 1.59In this case the only digits you need to change are 24.43 and 1.59.so...24.43 x 100/60 =40.716666671.59 x 100/60 =2.65(remember that North and East co-ordinates are positive and South and West are negative.)So you new co-ordinates should be57.407-2.265I realise there is probably an easier/more efficient way of doing this, but this is the way I remember it!Hope it helps,Alun,P.S. If your looking for the U.K. I've done pretty much all the main airfields here so drop me a line.
