I'm posting this in AH because it affects my AH flying. I've got an interesting conflict with Orbx PNW scenery. here's the sequence of events: 1. - I set up my home base in AH to be CYCD (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) and flew for a month or so using the stock FSX scenery library. 2. - Pretty soon I got envious of the lovely scenery shots others were posting on MH and decided to get onboard. So, I bought ORBX PNW and, while I was in the store, so to speak, purchased the Pacific Fjords package as well. 3. - This turned out to be a mistake - for AH. Don't get me wrong, the scenery files

I decided that inquiring minds must know, so here's the skinny on the differences in reference datum between FSX stock scenery and ORBX PNW. I'm not here to get into any sort of discussion as to who is correct. I've spent enough time in boats to know that a georeference is only as good as the chart datum that it is drawn upon. Google up "Geodesy" or "Geodetic Datum" if you want to see what you have to put up with. The latest, greatest is WGS84. This, in a nutshell, is the system that most GPS units use as a reference, but it is a US reference so is not usable with other counties charts
