Hi Melchior,
Thank you for the formula. I wrote a wrapper for it so that I can enter
lat/long and get a tile ID. I have tested it for scenery that I have but
given the numebr of conditional branches I don't feel confident that it is
bullet proof. I found one difference in interpretation mathematical order
when testing with KSFO!
I am requesting assistance for testing the rest of it for scenery I don't
have;
NZWN S41* 19' 38" E174* 48' 19" -> e175s41/5803051.stg
Checked OK
YSSY S33* 56.8' E151* 10.6' -> e151s34/5426688.stg Checked OK
KSFO N37* 37' 8.3" W122* 22' 29.6" -> w123n38/942049.stg
Checked OK
Quadrants not checked
S/W Mexico/South America
N/E Central and Eastern Europe/China/Japan
Could people that have access to either world scenery or the areas detailed
below check that a reference to the airport identifier appears in the text
descriptor file listed.
S/W
SBGL Rio de Janerio S22* 48' 34" W43* 15' 00" ->
w043s23/2232523.stg
SBSP San Paulo S23* 37' 32" W46* 39' 21" ->
w047s24/2183313.stg
N/E
Paris Charles de Gaulle N49* 0' 35" E2* 32' 52" ->
e049n03/3757856.stg
alternatively if you have the lat/long of an airport and you know the tile
it appears in. The lat/long and tile ID would be appreciated.
TIA
Dene
