FSE Zones for EGPB and EGET (Sumburgh and Tingwall) #158

Open Mcewan opened 1 year ago

FSE-Planner gives EG78 (Foula) as an alternative for EGET. However FSE considers EG78 to be in the EGPB zone.

Just to add, I doubt this is really an FSE-Planner problem. What FSE is doing makes no sense as EGET is nearer to EG78 - see attached LittleNavMap screenshot. image

Foula (as displayed in your picture) is EGZR, not EG78.

EG78 seems to reference another Scottish island location (Outer Skerries)

But still, EG78 should register as EGEH (and not EGET nor EGPB).

What really maters is the GPS coordinates where you landed. Perhaps because of all this mix-up in ICAOs, FSE was right after all? The only way to check for sure is if you can tell what where your exact landing GPS coordinates.

Very sorry about that. Ignore EG78 - I meant EGZR To restate the problem, if I am at Foula (EGZR in MSFS, absent from FSE), FSE considers this location to be in the Sumburgh area (EGPB in MSFS and FSE). The position is N 60 7.38 W 2 3.25. image However FSE-Planner gives EGZR as an MSFS alternative for Tingwall (EGET) - which seems fine from the landing zones on FSE-Planner map, but does not work in practice.
