Grid numbering.

You know, you could be right! ��

Or maybe it was a mystake before and corrected on the new version ;).

not quite a mistake, but a questions of older tools not being accurate enough while the newest tools are way better.
So it didn’t change in the game, the modern computation are more accurate than before and therefore less caution could be applied -
Did you reference a newer set of maps? Things change…being actively involved in flight ops, I’ve lived long enough to see runways re-numbered due to shifts in mag-var (yeah…which means I’m old…). So changes in MEF would not surprise me for any or all of the reasons described if the coders used one set of maps as reference back in the day, and more recent ones…er…recently.

Hi Stevie……newer maps?..just the “new 4.33” interactive map.
Old?..I bet I’m older!
California? Drove the Big Sur last year, magic.
(It’s Scary mentioning 4.33, almost expect the thought police to knock on the door)

we don’t reference maps. We refer BMS terrain elevation
-
I’m assuming you model BMS terrain on something…right? What reference do you use for that?
You’re well traveled, Bayonet…I’ve been though Heathrow,on my way to a couple weeks in Finland and Switzerland, but haven’t managed to spend any goodly amount of time in your part of the Isle…save me a whiskey!

Current information on what is real can differ by source and the limited knowledge of that area at the time. The sim is in a constant state of change while moving towards being as real as it gets. One can go crazy trying to keep up. I think RedDog is doing a great job of keeping up and has a good way of putting things that are real but may not be implemented yet in grey while documenting what is in the sim in black. The documents are for the sim. The sim is doing its best to be real.

thanks TeeSquare.

That’s not what I was trying to say - only that between the time of the last update and this Reddog’s information may have improved…and he used something better than he had the last time.
I always assume the latest is the best!
