Hello,

I noticed that positioning an aircraft at FG startup with --lon= and
lat= has only a limited accuracy. It seems that only the first 7 digits
are read. This leads to an uncertainty of several meters/feet!
For example lon=11.379070 --lat=47.306263 is needed to place our hang
glider directly in front of the ramp (LOWI-Scenery). Unfortunately the
hang glider pops up several meters right of the ramp. I found out that
FG internally uses this (rounded) values: --lon=11.3791 --lat=47.3063.
Same issue with input via the Menu "Location/Position Aircraft In Air".
Only positioning via the property browser leads to exact results.
Maybe someone could fix this at the next opportunity?!

Thanks in advance
D-NXKT
