No luck. No problem with the Super 80, PSS 777 or LevelD, but the PMDG dosen't accept any of the tradtional inputs??????

From the PMDG 737 FMC manual:
The proper format for entering a Latitude/Longitude waypoint into the scratchpad is as follows:
NXXXXX/EXXXXXX
SXXXXX/WXXXXXX

Thanks for taking the time Mike. I've tried every conceivable format! Non take, I get the error mesage; "not in database". I am writing PMDG now. My guess is that they will have me un/re-install. Thanks again
