Fighting off the crazees...

In the real world, we very often measure directions in degrees, If you go to google earth and look at an airport, and check out the end of a runway it will almost always be marked with the reciprocal heading for that runway. Some are not marked, but they are rare. We start with 0 for North and proceed around in a clockwise fashion adding to the degrees, so East is 90 and South 180 and West 270. Everyone knows what's going on, and it works because it's nice and simple like that.

In micro flight the author has seen fit to measure the directions in radians when it comes to placing scenery objects, and he uses them in an anti-clockwise manner, and has made East=0! Damn fool that he is.

So here's a rational solution to planting things in MF for all us normal people out here. If you click on it, you'll get it full size and can then save the image as a handy reference. It took a lot of concentration to convert it all using google's claculator and macromedia's fireworks to paint it all up, and it is always possible I will have messed up somewhere, but I think it's probably just fine. Let me know if you spot something wrong, just post a comment here to do that.

Hope it helps; Now anyone can quite simply plant a runway in MF scenery at the very least, despite the author of MF's considerable efforts to prevent it happening. ;O)
