Custom waypoints way off course

Featured Replies

Hi there,I am trying to create a series of custom waypoints using XML and bglcomp.exe. However, I have run into this problem. The waypoints I create appear at the wrong location in the sim, I'm guessing about 30nm to the south of where I want them to be and a little bit to the west as well. Does anybody have an idea what is wrong? This is my xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><FSData  version="9.0"  xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'  xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd" >  <Waypoint    lat="59.24790000"    lon="5.14420000"    waypointType="OFF_ROUTE"    magvar="0.0"    waypointRegion="HD"    waypointIdent="HAUGE">  </Waypoint></FSData>

I have a couple of screenshots that illustrate the misplacement in FSX. First I have a screenshot showing the top-down view of the location where I wanted the waypoint to appear. Notice the lat-lon coordinates on the top of the pic, they should be the same as the ones in the xmlHAUGE1.JPGThe second screenshot shows the route planner with two edits, the black 'X' shows the intended location of my custom waypoint, the black circle around a waypoint shows the actual location of my custom waypointHAUGE2.JPGDoes anybody have an idea what might be wrong?
