is the GPS enteries part of the FAR EAST scenery? In other words is it in the respective .bgls or is it built into the gauge.

I would like to add some more locations for the GPS but if its built into the scenery than I wont be able to.

If any of you know how to do this and can help me i'd be very appreciative.

GPS gauges are programmed with standard latitude and longitude numbers, so you will need to learn how to do that....in a Chuck Dome programmable GPS gauge.

I take it all back...what was I thinking? 

well most of the fields are in japan.
the rest have GPS already(all of the Korean ones). any way to find out which ones from japan are already available?

here are two that i'm interested in at the moment.

name=Honshu-Kuga (Iwakuni)
base_lat=N34 8.50
base_lon=E132 14.08

name=Kyushu-Fukuoka (Itazuke)
base_lat=N33 34.67
base_lon=E130 27.01

i might have a couple more but those are the main ones for now. if they are already available than i'll only need the numbers.

Yes, since you have McClelland's Far East installed already, open CFS2 in Freeflight, select an aircraft and click on Start Location.

You didn't send me the particular GPS.GAU that you want these added to?????????????   Or just tell me which aircraft you are flying, which will tell me which GPS gauge is in question.

Never mind all this.

well lets start with the the mustang and the meteor F3 as those are the 2 that i want to use and the F8 is basicaly the same as the F3.

you know this could become a mess. :-/
i'm wondering if i'm getting to ambitious.

That is a truly a common mistake made by many folks as they get into CFS2.

On the SimV homepage do a Search for 'Steve McClelland'.

I was able to get the short tute on some various uses of the GPS100A. GAU and .EXE system, and have uploaded it this evening.  Perhaps it will make the download que at the same time as the GPS100AU.ZIP and the VB60Run download.  8-)

Don't you try to wimp-out on me now!  You started this, and you're gonna finish it!
