I wanted to create a custom waypoint along the rout based on another custom lat/ long waypoint. The anchor custom waypoint was shortened to 24S128W in the FMS flight plan. So using the "insert next waypoint "right click function, i tried to use this waypoint to create another waypoint 133 nm before it as follows 24S128W/-133 however the FMS rejected the waypoint saying not recognised. Is this a bug? I have been able to successfully create similar waypoints based on named RW waypoints just fine, so i can only assume that because the anchor waypoint is a custom waypoint it wont accept it.

perhaps im doing something wrong?

This is a great question, which I'm not entirely sure about.

I'll forward this to the dev team for further clarification.

Appreciate your patience 🙂
