in FSX thier is a discrepancy between where the GPs will indicate where a rig is and where one of the rigs actually is on the map
the rig in question is QG7C, the GPS will fly you to QG8E but say you are at QG7C, it caught me out, oddly if you put QG7C-QG8E it will show correct but postioning to QG7C shows you are thier on the GPS but not on the map, it shows QG8E..(Which is what flynet see's, the rig landing platform shows i landed at the right rig (deck code) but not as far as flynet is concerned, checking the entry in my FSX logbook also shows EGSD-QG7C..so i landed at the right rig...at least morally
this is a first for me and it caught me out...take care now, only a few more rigs and i will have landed on them all bar 1 which is not in my database
