Manual Lat/Long Entry in DTC

Epic · Post by **Epic** » 2007-01-25 13:01:34

Hi

Has anyone tried entering real world lat/long into the DTC filename.ini file? I wanted to take real world restricted airspace lat/long and add it into the .ini file. This has to be done by manually entering the coordinates.

My stpt lines showed up, but they were far to close together and completely in the wrong spot. I can only think of 2 reasons for this:

1. I am entering them incorrectly
2. The lat/long in F4 doesn't match real world.

I used an .ini file that was already made and entered the data similarily, so I am thinking that it is more likely different lat/long in F4, but this doesn't make sense to me either because of the way DEM data is taken from real world data.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Epic

The Lat/Long data in F4 is not correct because it is not spherically converted (or so that is what I read).

Anything to do with it?

Guys

The Lat and Long are not correct to realworld values that was the problem.
