Rhino03 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Hello Pete, I have a problem with the conversion of the position data in flightsimulator 2004. I took the factors from the table which is with FSInterrogate. It works fine, but I can't explain myself why. Why is the conversion factor for the latitude #*90/(10001750*65536*65536) and for the longitude #*360/(65536*65536*65536*65536)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scruffyduck Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Well I wonder what you are trying to understand. FS stores the numbers in a particular way internally and to get them out to recognizable co-ordinate values you need to use the conversion factors shown. I think you would need to ask Microsoft why they chose to store the numbers in the format that have. I seem to recall there is an explanation in the FSUIPC SDK documentation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
