Thank you so much! :D I never thought to check precision values! C++ is very new to me, I have only been programming with it for around two weeks or so, and before that I was mostly doing PHP and web based programming.

Thank you for your quick reply! An example of the data I am getting is this: Latitude: -31.9707 Longitude: 115.868 This code responsible for fetching the latitude and longitude is this: long long chLat; double chdlat; long long chLong; double chdLong; if (FSConnection.ReadAndProcess(0x560, 8, &chLat)) { chdlat=chLat; chdlat=chdlat*90.0/(10001750.0 * 65536.0 * 65536.0); std::ofstream lat_file( "ILat.txt", std::ios_base::out | std::ios_base::trunc); lat_file << chdlat; lat_file << "\n"; } if (FSConnection.ReadAndProcess(0x568, 8, &chLong)) { chdLong=chLong; chdLong=chdLong*360.0/(65536.0 * 65536.0 * 65536.0 * 65536.0); std::ofstream long_file( "ILong.txt", std::ios_base::out | std::ios_base::trunc); long_file << chdLong; long_file << "\n"; }

Hello, Is it possible to get more accurate latitude and longitude data from FSX than 3-4 decimal places after conversion into decimal degrees? Currently I am fetching the data using a long long variable type, then converting it into a double before carrying out the conversion. Am I doing something wrong here with my variable types? The result of this is a three decimal place number for longitude and a four decimal place number for latitude (both numbers have a total of 6 digits each). Would I get more accurate results if I used SimConnect instead of FSUIPC? I am using C++ to do this. Thank you for any help in advance.
