That's correct. Realism is what we are after. If the book put out by PMDG says you can do it then you should be able to do it.

When conducting a visual approach in a Cat C aircraft (B737) the distance (4.2NM) is measured from the threshold of all usuable runways (over 1800m). When you have a 3000m runway the the areodrome reference point is in the middle of the runway (best case), that's not going to work.Regardless runway thresholds can be used as a waypoints, it says so in the manual. Its also useful to put a 10 mile ring from the threshold to help situational awarness, ie at 10 miles should be 3000ft. Matt

Hi PMDG, First congrats on a great product. Like the FS2004 version of the 737 you still can't enter a threshold waypoint in the FMC in the FIX page. For example when flying to YMML and landing on runway 34 you should be able to type RW34 in the fix page then enter 4.2 NM for the circling area. I have asked NAVIGRAPH if its a database issue and they replied it isn't. Can you guys fix this? Also would you like some feedback on FMS short cuts that you can't do on your 737NGX FMC? (for example on the DES page should be able to put a / before or after a valid number to enter data. Ie: /50 for 250/5000 for a speed restriction instead of having to type it out in full). Thanks.
