I pretty much a newbie to designing scenery for FS 2002, and I'm having trouble with positioning the runways. I'm using photographs of the airport in my hometown and using information from the website AirNav which gives the Lat/Lon of the runways, control tower, etc.
The problem is when I set the Lat/Lon for my runways, they're not in the right positions in ralation to each other.
Would anyone have any idea what I could do about this little problem? I want the scenery to be as accurate as possible.

TIA

Maybe the way of writing the coordinates???

For example:

N22.14892311 is NOT the same as N22* 14.89' 23.11''
There is a difference.
In AFCAD you could change the way of writing it.
So choose the right one and i should work (mabye)
