Cannot import PLN

[Kronzky 34]

Whenever I try to import a PLN file that was created by the Skyvector to FSX utility I get an error about invalid lat/long format: 

I cannot see anything obviously wrong with it, though.

Any idea what might be happening there?

You can download the whole file from here.

(BTW — the same file imports just fine into FS2020.)

Strange. They use a signed coordinate format with signed numbers instead of N/S/E/W notation. Will fix. No biggie.

Thanks plenty for the file!

Hey, thanks! That's very good news!

I was starting to suspect that it may have been the format, and nearly wanted to write a conversion utility, but I guess now I don't have to anymore... ;)

Already fixed here. Next beta will include it.
