MD-11 PAC LAT/LON FMC entry

[Guest GCP]

Hey guys,I have really been enjoying the PMDG MD-11. I attempted to conduct a mission from PHNL to RJAA the other day and had problems entering the LAT's and LON's into the FMC. According to the manual I should input NXXWXXX. I tried putting in N25W170 and the FMC gave me a "Not In Database" warning. What amd I doing wrong?Thank you for your assistance.GCP

There are two forms for entering lat/lon. The MD11 long form is different from your example, see page FMS.100.4 it should be Nddmm.mWdddmm.m or you can use the short form, which in the pacific would be something like xxNxx.
