• 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.

sbuilderx coordinates from degrees to decimal

Hello everyone,
I've been reading a couple of sbuilderx tutorials. I need to transfer the coordinates to gmax.
On my sbuilderx on the map properties it only gives me the coordinates in degrees rather then on decimal like on the tutorials. How can I view my coordinates on decimal?

I feel as if the some sites that convert will throw me off.

Thank you.
 
SBuilder.ini:

[Main]
DecimalDegrees=True

If you're trying to do a georeferenced background in gmax do add map > from background, and then in the SBuilderX314\Tools\Work folder find your .bmp and an accompanying .txt file with the coordinates of each corner. Calculate the center coord and use that as the reference point in MCX's coordinate converter, run the corner coords through one at a time as secondary points, the coordinate converter will give you X and Y distances in meters to place each corner in gmax.
