First of all, thank you for a great piece of software! Just discovered it a few days ago and I'm loving it!

Today something strange happend though... When placing my MAAM DC-3 at LGSA (Chania, island of Crete/Greece) and planned a route to LGSR (Santorini/Greece) I noticed a calculated 12 hour flight time. This flight normally takes less then an hour. When I looked at the map, Plan G indicated that LGSA is located in northern Africa. Any ideas why this happened?

All the other ICAO locations I have used so far seems to work and LGSA works fine in the built in FS2004 flight planner and in FSNavigator.

Is it an addon airport? If you look carefully you'll notice that it's located at the correct latitude but zero longitude, suggesting there was a problem reading the coordinates for the database.

LGSA is in the standard FS2004 database but I use the one from HSP Greece. The other airports from HSP works fine in PlanG. Its just LGSA that is acting up...

The airport looks OK in AFCAD (see attachment) regarding LAT/LONG as far as I can tell...

SOLVED!

I deleted the AF2_LGSA.bgl and then restored it again from a backup and then did a rebuild of the PlanG database. For some reason it wasn't read properly the first time I built the database. Now LGSA is in the right place in the world!

Again, thanx for a great addition to the FS2004 experience!
