December 17, 200322 yr Made my first flight yesterday EHAM to KJFK. Not very realistic maybe to take a 737 across the pond, but I had great fun ! :)The plane is great ! Although 1 have 1 remark to make, and got a few questions:- The top of descent (T/O) calculated by the FMC was about 40nm away from the landing rwy. A bit short, I had to hold to lose some altitude :) I can make a screenshot of this, as it happened again on the way back.- How can I manually enter a waypoint on a nat track ? I flew NAT C from MALOT to COLOR, but I was unable to enter a coordinate like 53n020w in the route page. Probably because I have to enter it in a certain syntax or something.- How about licensing ? I reinstalled FS9 and installed SU2. I haven't registered the plane yet because I can't find a menu to enter my keycode.Just my 2 cents :)Timon.
December 17, 200322 yr Hi,someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the oceanic waypoint should be entered like this:N60.00 E010.00 = 6010EN60.00 W010.00 = 6010NN60.00 E110.00 = 60E10N60.00 W110.00 = 60N10S60.00 E010.00 = 6010SS60.00 W010.00 = 6010WS60.00 E110.00 = 60S10S60.00 W110.00 = 60W10so 53n020w would be 5320N Location: Vleuten, The Netherlands, 17.3dme SPL 108.40 | Simulator: FS2024 System: AMD 7800X3D - Gigabyte X670 - RTX 4090 - 64GB DDR5 - 2 x 2TB SSD - 32" 1440p Display - Windows 11 Pro
December 17, 200322 yr Thank you for the quick reply. It could be me but im missing the constant syntax here. Could you explain how this syntax is constructed ?Timon.
December 17, 200322 yr Hi,[uL][li]When a waypoint is located in the Northern hemisphere you use either N or E designator,for Southern hemisphere either S or W.[/li][li]In Northern Hemisphere: E is for Eastern Longitudes, and N is for Western longitudes[/li][li]In Southern Hemisphere: S is for Eastern Longitudes, and W is for Western longitudes[/li][li]When E or W smaller then 100 deg, the designator is after the digits (6010E = N60 E010 / 6010N = N60 W010)[/li][li]When E or W greater then 100 deg, the designator is between the digits (60E10 = N60 E110 / 60N10 = N60 W110)[/li][/ul] Location: Vleuten, The Netherlands, 17.3dme SPL 108.40 | Simulator: FS2024 System: AMD 7800X3D - Gigabyte X670 - RTX 4090 - 64GB DDR5 - 2 x 2TB SSD - 32" 1440p Display - Windows 11 Pro
