Hi there

When I press shift Z I get the cooridnates eg:
"N47 29.81"

Is there a way that I can set it to display the exact coordinates or at least more precise like:
"N47 29.81561"

Thank you

In FS2004 the trick was to add the following:

Display_Fractional_Minutes=0

under the [Main] label in the FS9.cfg file.

That does not work in FSX so I will be interested to know if there is a similar tweak for FSX and what the syntax is.

This is not working but the following is:

add under MAIN of the FSX.cfg

FractionalLatLonDigits=6 <------ this can be also 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 depending how precise you wanna be.


If you want to see it in the degree format
then add under MAIN in FSX.cfg
LatLonFormat=Degrees

it will then show 33,34566789 format and not the hour minute seconds format
