Position GPS

Bonjour à tous,

Y a t-il moyen d’afficher la position GPS en coordonnées en cours de vol de manière à faire un copier/coller dans Google map par exemple pour pouvoir visiter le lieux après le vol ?

Hi all
Is there a way to display the GPS position in coordinates during the flight so as to copy/paste in Google map for example so that you can visit the place after the flight?

English S’il vous plaît

I have been wondering the same thing just a simple way of knowing my exact location using GPS coordinates.

Simple, no :frowning:

There is an add-on that will track your position on a map and that will probably also show you the coordinates. I forgot the name of it though, don’t have it myself. Little nav map maybe.

I tried to find it in dev mode yet unbelievably it’s not there. You can teleport to any coordinate in the world but you can’t see where you are doh.

One workaround is, hit ESC, save flight, continue or leave it paused.
Open the FLT file with a text editor (for Steam :\Users[name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\savename.FLT) and look for

[SimVars.0]
Latitude=N43° 11’ 45.20"
Longitude=W80° 20’ 36.52"
Altitude=+004014.34
Pitch=-3.0602496090381112737
Bank=-1.5282022067862657266

That has all the info you want and you can overwrite it any time you are lost and need the coordinates

In another head scratcher, the coordinates as saved in the file are not in a format the game recognizes. Pasting those into the search box will put you somewhere else if anything happens at all.

However you can paste them into the search box on google maps without any issues. Then you can copy the converted coordinates from the URL and paste those into the game.

For example, google address after looking up those coordinates
https ://www.google.ca/maps/place/43%C2%B011’45.2%22N+80%C2%B020’36.5%22W/@43.1958928,-80.3456665,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d43.1958889!4d-80.3434778

This part 43.1958928,-80.3456665 is what you need to use those coordinates again in game (in the map editor) Those coordinates are the center of the screen on google maps so any time you move the map or look something up you have the coordinates right there to paste into the game.

Actually Google already puts the translated coordinates on screen to copy
Google

‘Easy’ way to store waypoints, make a bunch of save games along the way, then copy the coordinates out of them afterwards

Thank you.

Found in Internet :slight_smile:
