Hi I’m currently flying around J’burg and noticed that almost all official Airfields are misplaced. FAZR Zeerust is a good example:
The airstrip is not at the position where the CIRCEL is, but on the other side of the road. I had to create my own waypoint according to the google maps picture and this was correct.


This seams to be a general problem in the area, bcs all Airfields I checked were more or less shifted.

did you check if the apt coordinates are correct (as published / own-ship depiction while flying there)? It's very unlikely to be consistently shifted for multiple airports, it will rather be the database of the roads...

There seems to be a longitude/latitude rounding error for the CIRCEL in Skydemon. The BLACK LINE for the runway itself is at the correct position.
CIRCEL: S253600 E0260200
BLACK LINE (an effective location of the airstrip) S253556 E260232
And I found this :
