Post Obtaining the coordinate for PAU
on: December 17, 2013, 19:17

Hi I am trying to get Historic Pau In to Max But I cant seem to get the right Spot
and Each time I grab a texture I have to restart Max and Google Earth before I can grab another

lat 43.291904 lon -0.365945 elevation 0m this is the start/finish line
I tried to make a KML and import it but It was somewhere in South Africa and no where near France. Can some one explain how I convert them coordinates in to the format that you can enter in to this plugin as it is not allowing me to enter real life coordinates, I hope that this will be fixed soon so I get the centre I want.
any way many thanks I bet when I work this plugin out it will be a time save for making tracks for rFactor2

Hi Can you please explain or if it is not implemented yet add the ability to enter Google earth pro coordinates so I can Centre the Plugin on My Target as it seems hit or miss trying to get the exact location the slider in the plugin is not a single number up or down so getting the exact location is impossible if your coordinates drop in between these numbers.

lat 43.291904 lon -0.365945 elevation 0m this is the start/finish line
but the plugin will not allow me to enter these numbers I seem to have to get it as close as I can but that could be 50 to 100 km away please explain how to enter these coordinates. Many thanks for your ongoing support on the great plugin

You enter the values in the boxes marked latitude and longitude, the numbers below just show the values converted to degrees minutes and seconds and are just for reference.

but how do i get the numbers for the plugin if 43.291904 lon -0.365945 elevation 0m
how do i convert it to the correct numbers for the plugin to centre on that location I am trying to create a race circuit for rFactor2 so I only want the Circuit so I need to zoom right in and then scale it.

Like I said the 2 arrows for increase and decrease are not very accurate so My centre point is well off

You just type the numbers in, Max will round up the number when displaying it after you press enter but it will still be using whatever you typed into the box, the value of 43.292 is 43.291904 rounded to 3 decimal places.
