August 4, 200322 yr Folks, 1) Please can someone enlighten me on how one adds a Lat/Long waypoint to the flight plan? I have tried various formats but all I get is 'Not in Database'. What is the correct format and method?2) If one creates a fix by, say, place/bearing/distance, is it then possible to add this created fix to the flightplan? How?3) Is it correct that the flight plan display (the magenta line) does not disappear behind the last waypoint passed? I thought I remembered other systems where this happened, but in the 737NG the entire flight plan magenta line is there throughout the flight although the waypoints that have been passed are not accessible any more in the FMC. Odd, I thought.4) Are Overfly, At or Above, At or Below, things that the real 737NG FMC doesn't support, or should we live in hope that PMDG will add them sometime in the future? (I really miss not having Overfly.)Thanks - Pete
