Hi everyone,

I'm trying to script flight plans directly into the mission file and need help with coordinate conversions for the Sinai map.

My LUA structure for the flight plan works and loads in the editor, but my own math for converting Lat/Lon to the mission file's internal x/y coordinates is inaccurate.

I am not sure now this would help. But maybe I wasn't specific enough:

What I am looking for is to convert the CCS coordinates (zx,z axis in meters relative to central point on the map) to DMS.

in general i asked for converting DMS to XY in this thread:

never tried the mentioned funcition, because it does not solve my problem, but the work around was made by the DCS MAPVIEWER Guys.
Still searching for a solution outside of lua.
What you need is at least a reference point, where the the map creator started counting. E.g. Germany Map is the harbour at Kaliningrad, which is way outside the map itself. Then there are so many variables that i lost track and knowledge. Is the map rotated? Is a sphere to be recognized?
Try Chatgpt for a Excel Spreadsheet and start working from that. Again I gave up on the Germany Map.
There are smarter guys but not really sharing their knowledge.
