• 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.

Hello

When starting a new project, I work with a disk jpg mapfile I first calibrate with corner lat/long.
Then, is there a way to automatically center on this map and zoom?
Presently, I begin at low zoom with cursor to find approximatively the place, center, and zoom progressively to get the map.

One project has been saved, no problem, on opening I have the map well placed in screen.

Thanks for answer. Pierrot - FMEP
 
Hello,

Please see the INI file. There is 2 entries that refer to the initial Latitude and initial Longitude. I do not remember the exact names but you will easily get them.

An alternative is to create a project with just the map. Then, when you need the map, instead of "adding a map from disk" you can append your "map project".

Regards,

Luis
 
Thanks for answer

I found the item and set:
LatIniCenter=-20
LonIniCenter= 46

So, it's ready for my projects concerning Madagascar.
