747 FMC

[Guest Tyler Turner]

Hello I just bought the PMDG 747 and I love it! I was looking through some of the manuals that PMDG provides for the Queen but could not find anything on if I can input points such as "4930N/0700W" as I was trying to do a real world flight as this:[link]http://flightaware.com/live/flight/DLH457[/link] Thx for your help!Tyler

Hi Tyler,Input of lat/lon is done on the legs pages in the format NxxxxWxxxx:N4930W0700 goes in the scratchpad then Line Select it below ASPthen:FRAZRSTEAMOYSTR are put in the scratchpad and input on the left side in sequence.For lat/lon that includes zeros, these waypoints are usually reporting points on a NAT track. You can remove most of the zeros and input them in the format NxxWxxx:N55W050N57W040N59W030N59W020ERAKAIn order to input the airways, you need to move to the RTE pages, place UP58 on the left side below ERAKA and place PELET on the right side adjacent to UP58. Stay on the RTE pages and continue filling in the airways and waypoints until you get to ROLIS. Then you can go to the ARR/DEP pages and select a STAR into EDDF.
