Khurram13 positions no more, no less. No decimal period/comma. Check the manual again you are on the right path.N33405W017021Would be the right format for:33

Hi,I'm trying to enter the following waypoints into the FMC on the 737NG Sim:N53W050N54W040N55W030N55W020N55W010But none of which can be entered. I have tried using 13 digits like so: N53000W050000 and even N53000W500000 but still the FMC shows the 'Not in database' error.Am I doing something wrong? The waypoints were taking directly from a real FMC (on a 777).Any help would be greatly appreciated.Regards,Gerald.
