Wrong distances in my new scenery

Post by luisbriones » Mon May 01, 2017 5:42 pm

I'm working in mi Local scenery.

I followed the instructions of Scenery Toolkit pdf and I noted that distances between wp are wrong. I put in the map the wp that I use for real flight.
There are 3 wp used to go and return 100 km FAI task. One to the north, one to south and to east.

To the north the distance is almost right. To south is 3 km more than real, and to the east is 12km more than real.

I check the lines with latitude and longitude that Condor draw with the map and look good. The wp are in correct place in map.

I rechecked this doing a new map without any textures with same result.

Any idea of what happend?

Regards,

Luis

I made a scenery follow the Tom Berry tutorial. He don't convert to UTM. I thinked that was the problem. I made a new scenery follow step by step the Condor Scenery Toolkit PDF. In the second one I chaged the coordinates to UTM. In both case the east distance is the same.

I will make one againg using Excel Calibration Tools. I the others case I used teh T. Berry online spreadsheet.

I found the error. Converting to UTM AND using the Excel Calibration Tools the distance are very similar. 101.6 km in Condor, 101.4 in Seeyou program

Hi Luis

Where is the conversion to the correct UTM projection ?,was my question a few years ago.
Now I know that in Qgis you need to do the conversion through, Raster> Projections> Warp (reproject).
 And than Cut with ,Raster> Extraction> Correct Clipper (Multiple of23040m ) .
Did not get a correct answer and therefore I stopped follow that tutorial.

Do not forget to correct the size (look in hdr file) by -45 m and + 50 m , If you follow the old method
Search the forum for this.
