Thank you for the reply.
"You are probably looking for Latitude, Longitude, and altitude." From
which class ? I want to write code that uses the current position in
C++. Not for use in an initialization xml file.
Does FGLocation::GetLattitude(), for example, return the current latitude ?
Why is there a FGLocation::SetPosition, but no FGLocation::GetPosition ?
