I am working on an Edwards AFB add-on. One of the things I would like to do is add AI flights between KEDW and Beale and Travis AFB. The problem is Beale and Travis AFB don't show up in the TTools airports listings. I figured I could manually add it to the airports.txt file, but I am having problems with the airport coordinates. In ADE the longitude and latitude are shown as decimal and in the txt file as degrees, minutes, and seconds. I found a way of converting back and forth between the two, but when I do it with airports that are already in the list the numbers are close but not dead on. I believe the number following the long and lat is the airfield alt. Thanks for your help.

ADE gives you the option of displaying decimals degrees or DD MM.sss format. Toggle as you like.

As the other post indicated, ADE gives you the choice of formatsas does FSX Planner, which I used to verify the coordinates in FSXvs those I had in one of my FS9 TTools files. And the final parameteris the field altitude in feet.Here's the info you asked for:KEDW,N34* 54.33',W117* 53.02',2302KBAB,N39* 08.17',W121* 26.19',113 KSUU,N38* 15.73',W121* 55.65',62 Paul

Thank You. I did not find a way to change that setting, but I'll look again.

Thanks again, Those are terms that did not leap off the page at me.
