How do you enter the IRS position?

On the POS INIT 1/3 page, how do I enter the IRS position?If I put KJFK in as REF AIRPORT, I get a bogus lat/lon of N40

I fail to see an answer to my question in the forum's Easy Start FAQ thread or any other threads for that matter. However, there are so many recent ones it is bit hard to search through.Do you have a pointer (URL) for me? Thanks.Lee Hetherington (KBED)

I enter the lat/long, the same way than with PIC, except that we do not put the

actually, the correct formatiing for that lat/lon would be:N45353W065584:)

OK. It seems it will not accept an entry that is too far from the current position according to FS2002 (shift Z). It will accept N40 37.6 W073 46.3when I am sitting on KJFK 31L.

Hi there. This is what I do. On POS INIT page I click LSK 1L which is a cheat that will update the LAST POS to your current position. I then click LSK 1R and that puts that position into the scratchpad. Then click LSK 4R and that puts your current position into the IRS. Click, click, click and your done.LaterTerry

I'd rather not download the latest navdata if it will affect 767PIC. I'm quite happy with the navdata I am using with PIC. Is it not possible to have different navdata for PIC and PMDG?Lee Hetherington (KBED)

Thanks. I missed the LSK1L cheat.Lee Hetherington (KBED)

Well,It does not accept that kind of format. This is the same format that Randy suggested to me a while ago.Will have to try the one with the spaces inbetween tonight.I don't like to use those magical cheats. They don't exist in the real aircraft, therefore it does not exist to me.Tero
