Longtitude Rounding Problem

[KV0I]

I have encountered a longitude rounding issue when converting FS9 flight plans to FSX using Plan-G.  Below are copies of both the FS9 and FSX plans.  Please note the rounding of the longitude in PT_B,  PT_C, and PT_E in the FSX flight plan.  When you attempt to fly this flight plan in FSX it takes you to the prime meridian as the waypoint for the above waypoints.   I assume it is setting the longitude to zero.   I can manually edit these in notepad and fix the issue but I have created over 600 flightplans that all have this problem.  The map in Plan-G does display the route correctly.  Any hep in resolving this issue would be appreciated.

I'm guessing it must not like the 00.00 seconds value. Unfortunately I don't have a working development PC at the moment, so there's nothing I can do about it.

It does look like you may have a long session in notepad ahead :( But here's a link on how to create a batch file that can automate the process http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1115508/batch-find-and-edit-lines-in-txt-file

Thanks for looking at the problem.  I wish there was an easy solution but I will try the batch edit process you provided.

Thanks,
