Adding start positions

MartinM · May 5, 2019 at 6:19 PM

I am trying to add a starting position to LSMM.

I am taking the coordinates from Google Earth Pro. Decimal.

<[list_tmsimulator_parking_position][parking_positions][]

<[tmsimulator_parking_position][element][0]

<[vector2_float64][position][8.122164 46.739500]>

<[float64][heading][3.36]>

<[string8][name][Military Ramp #3]>

>

But unfortunately it will end up somwhere in the ocean.

This is the original parking position

<[list_tmsimulator_parking_position][parking_positions][]

<[tmsimulator_parking_position][element][0]

<[vector2_float64][position][8.11574207738177 46.7405239055221]>

<[float64][heading][3.36]>

<[string8][name][General Aviation Parking #1]>

>

What I am doing wrong?

lon-lat vs lat-lon

maybe try to flip your coordinates around to 46.739500 8.122164

(edit: sorry that was actually already the correct order)

Thats interesting. the original supplied ones are already flipped. I took these as reference. Why would the second parking position be different?

Errr.. Jan, sure..?

Aerofly has latitude first and longitude second, what I found at the beginning pretty confusing. So, I believe that shouldn't be Martin's problem.

Yep. That should not be the issue

It is strange, cause if i use the coordinates, it works

I haven't checked which way around was correct, that's just what I always tried first and most of the times it worked
But yes, the order that he originally used was the correct way, sorry for that

MartinM · May 6, 2019 at 9:17 AM

So, what is the problem then?

Flugplatz Meiringen,

the coordinates look good.

Perhaps an error in the TSC file?

Can you publish your file here?

MartinM · May 6, 2019 at 9:40 AM

I took the on supplied with Aerosoft Switzerland and added the start point

Rodeo · May 6, 2019 at 10:40 AM

When you added a start position, there might be an error in the code, like a missing arrow.

This is the reason for my question.

Another idea, when looking to your data: don't duplicate the header line for parking positions.

It should look like this:

Code

<[list_tmsimulator_parking_position][parking_positions][]

    <[tmsimulator_parking_position][element][0]
        <[vector2_float64][position][8.11574207738177 46.7405239055221]>
        <[float64][heading][3.36]>
        <[string8][name][General Aviation Parking #1]>
    >
    <[tmsimulator_parking_position][element][0]
        <[vector2_float64][position][8.122164 46.739500]>
        <[float64][heading][3.36]>
        <[string8][name][Military Ramp #3]>
    >

Mit diesem code habe ich eine zweite parking position in Meiringen.

Code

        <[list_tmsimulator_parking_position][parking_positions][]
            <[tmsimulator_parking_position][element][0]
                <[vector2_float64][position][8.11574207738177 46.7405239055221]>
                <[float64][heading][3.36]>
                <[string8][name][Parking Position #1]>
            >
            <[tmsimulator_parking_position][element][0]
                <[vector2_float64][position][8.122164 46.739500]>
                <[float64][heading][3.36]>
                <[string8][name][Parking Position #1]>

Hallo Thomas

Vielen Dank. Werde das dann mal versuchen und wenn es geht mal bei Meiringen all Stand nach MIL AIP einarbeiten

TomB · May 6, 2019 at 2:05 PM

Gern geschehen. Rodeo hatte eigentlich die Antwort bereits gegeben, ich habe das übersehen.

GACSavannah · May 17, 2019 at 6:16 AM

Sorry, but I can not follow the last part of the conversation, so I can not tell if you have solved your problem (I know...silly American ). Have you got your parking position worked out? I have successfully added a number of parking locations without any issue, so if you still need help, I am happy to look into this for you.

MartinM · May 17, 2019 at 9:13 AM

Yes, correct. Actually i omitted a < and the end. I need to pay more attention on this - my lessons learned

Yea, just like in life, there is usually someone or something leading you with a carrot
