[Xplanet-development] Positions in marker file

[Michael W. <mik...@we...>]

Hello everybody,

I have a problem using lat/lon positions in the marker file.

I want to display airroutes from using xplanet. So I started to convert the
location data of the airports to the format used in the xplant-marker file.
e.g. "KJFK = 40:38.4 N / 73:46.7 W --> 40.64 / -73.78"

If you add a line ' 40.64 -73.78 "KJFK" ' to your marker file you will see,
the Airport is in the ocean. :-((

The same effect happens for KLAX (Los Angeles Airport) but
OMDB = 25:15.2 N / 55:21.9 E --> 25.25 / 55.37
'25.25 55.37 "Dubai Airport"' seems to be correct.

You might say. Use the data from TGN as mentioned in the marker file.
But these data doesn't seem to be correct.

Can anybody help to fix this behavior?

Michael
