• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

"Move Airport" Function

I would like to move slightly an airport (Karpathos LGKP) in FSX, since this airport is actually displayed 2/3 in the sea (probably rounding errors of the geographical datas).
When I try to enter the new corrected longitude datas I get the window "Latitude error" with the latitude you have entered could not be parsed.
If I enter again the primary displayed datas I get the same error window.
Questions : Is the "Move airport" function activated ?
What is wrong in my procedure?
 
"Move airport" Function, replay

Hello rf360m

Thanks for quick replay.
Original position parameters of LGKP by FSX :
Longitude : N35°25.00' Latitude : E27°09.00

Trial entry to correct the position error of FSX:
Longitude : N35°25.00' Latitude : E27°08.57'

I tryed to enter the FSX original figures displayed in the "Move
Airport" Window. Unfortunately, no success! Same error indication as allready mentioned.

The basic datas of the LGKP airport are OK. The problem is, that this airport is displayed 2/3 in the sea and should be repositiones about 500 meters westward.

The decompilation of the APX55190.bgl file worked OK.
 
Are you entering the latitude exactly as E27°08.57'? If so the degree sign might be causing issues.
