Andrei Dragovic Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) I notice that for DCS: Harrier that the lat/long format when you are punching in coordinates into the UFC that format is degrees, minutes and seconds. However, looking at real world reference material like the NFM-000 the correct format appears to be degrees, minutes and decimal-minutes. I also note that ED has already changed the DCS Hornet to this format as well. This more than just a nitpick. It also has practical application because all the TPODs in DCS display lat/long in this format and having to convert seconds into decimal-minutes when receiving coordinates is a real pain in the neck. EDIT: Just for clarification, the degrees, minutes and decimal-minutes format for lat/long appears at Figure 23-21 in NFM-000. There are also references to it at 1-254 and 1-258 in TAC-000.
