nadj Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 Hi all, Within the SDK pack. I can see that FS Interrogator uses the expression *90/10001750 on the memory read result to gain the actual Latitude. My question is: how is this expression deduced for this particular field and others? or is this black box stuff? :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is: how is this expression deduced for this particular field and others? or is this black box stuff? :wink: It's just based on the units used in FS. In this case, I think it's the number of metres from the equator (10001750 metres is about 6215 statute miles). So dividing by that and multiplying by 90 gives you degrees. The reference used by those editing FSInterrogate's FSI files is the Programmer's Guide document. Regards, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
