A search did not help me with this particular problem. I'm doing a DME ARC for KVCV. I plotted my fixes us FSNav4.6. My first fix after IAF is N34*42.63',W117*09.84'. Now, I know (from searching) that the string is continuous and must contain exactly 13 characters. However this one contains 15...all my fixes are 15 characters. What should I do?John R.

John, The PMDG FMC only accepts single digits after the deicmal points, so you will have to do some rounding, your fixN34*42.63',W117*09.84'will have to be entered like this into the PMDG FMC:N34426W117098The General format beingXDDMMFYDDDMMF where X = N or SY = E or W MM = MinutesF = Fraction, single digitBest RegardsMax (Bern, LSZB)http://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004betateam.jpg http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpg

Thankyou, Max. I'll give it a try.John Franklin
