The Location is the coordinates for the center of the Pad 3 building. 
The headings are a little off, Pad 01 is 30 deg, Pad 02 is 16 deg, Pad 03 and 04 are 09 deg but I'm working on a new file for Orbiter 2024 to rotate them there. 
They are not actual decimal coordinates but the familiar grid coordinates put into decimal form for the CFG file to read, 65*07'47"55 N and 147*29'07"52 W.
