EGCC Runways

(1/1)

EHM-1009 Kevin:
Hi all, i recently saw that EGCC manchester has renumbered its runways due to a shift in magnetic poles (now 23L/R and 05L/R). Is there a update for FS9 that anybody knows about? and has itaffected any other airport in the UK and beyond?

EHM-2110 Matt:
The runways are in the same place etc so the only difference is the numbering written on the runways as the ILS etc in FS doesn't take into account the magnetic varience so there is no problem - just have to remember (unless you want to update the runway numbers etc for realism purposes).  It continually affects the magnetic track of all runways in the world so over time runways will be redesignated to compensate.

Hope this helps!
