Airfield coordinates not recognised by FS9

Featured Replies

I've made an RAF Jurby airfield at these coordinates N54* 20.4563' W4* 30.5762'. I've added it to my FS9 Scenery Library & it shows in the list of locations to choose from.When I clicked Fly Now I found I was at a barren location with these coordinates S33' 3.78'W55' 16.42' +632 in S.America. The only way I got to Jurby was by dragging my aircraft via Map to Jurby & saving the flight.Can anyone tell me why FS9 is misbehaving like this & is there a fix for this problem?

Hi.What utility did you use to create the airport?... you may not have a proper 'start' location. Have you tried starting at parking spots and runway ends? Alternatively, assuming you used a relatively old utility, you may be suffering from some wrong assumptions about bgl data made by the creator of that utility.If you're not already using it, try ADE9X. It's probably the most bug-free utility and produces good clean airport bgls.Of course, I could be barking up entirely the wrong tree.Regards,Dave

You Sir, have hit the nail on the head. I find I have 2 start locations on one runway & the one with the weird coordinates is the one FS9 followed. I thank you!! I'm using Afcad2.21 & have ADE9X but haven't used it yet........Cheers,Terry.
