mutley 4,487 Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Pilots, I have become aware that some of the instructions given do not appear to result in the waypoint being found due to the radials not intersecting. The route was planned using FSX and you may be experiencing problems due to some of the following: • variations in NAVAID locations between FS9 and FSX; • possible differences in magnetic variation between FS9 and FSX data; and • possible plotting error due to misreading the bearing TO and bearing FROM instructions. Here are some coordinates for some reported anomalies: Leg 3, waypoint 18: N57° 8' 36.26",W5° 46' 51.74 Leg 4, waypoint 01: N56° 27' 19.98",W5° 36' 26.73 Leg 4, waypoint 02: N56° 7' 57.00",W6° 38' 03.96" Leg 5, waypoint 01: N54° 52' 22.07",W3° 35' 42.10" Leg 5, waypoint 10: N55° 25' 30.29",W5° 7' 06.11 Remember, this is for FS2004 only, if you are experiencing a problem please email the rally committee If we come across any more I will add to the post.

allardjd 1,853 Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Wayne Knowles (gunk here) mentioned having problems with a Leg 1 waypoint at the club breakfast yesterday morning. I'm pretty sure he's using FSX and he was able to work it out and complete the leg OK, but had a bit of a struggle. John Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted April 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 That's odd, the route has been tested in FSX by Andrew a couple of times. I am more than happy to investigate any FSX problems too, just mail the committee. Link to post Share on other sites
JohnL 13 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 ??? Leg 5 Waypoint 10: N55* 25' 30.29" W5* 7' 06.11" ??? I make that a bit south of Arran, but suspect it should be somewhere about the SW end of the Great Glen, possibly N56* 49' 24" W5* 7' 06.11"? Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 934 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 John, Well spotted, In fact, Flight Leg 5, Waypoint 10 is the waypoint immediately after EGEO and should be in the vicinity of N56 47' 49" W5 0' 30", a rather obvious feature. Cheers Andrew Link to post Share on other sites
JohnL 13 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Ah, serious Munro-bagging in broken cloud. Just what the doctor ordered! Link to post Share on other sites
