Waypoints - range and bearing

[JoHubb]

I am running FS9 and build 50. 

Is there an easy way to create a waypoint using range and bearing information?   In other words, if I wish to create a waypoint at 5 nm from BZK VORDME on the 180 deg outbound radial, is there an easy way to do it?  I realise that I can do it by trial and error using the plan expander but this can be a slow and fiddly process requiring much to-ing and fro-ing between the plan itself and the plan expander. It doesn't help that the waypoint cannot be moved whilst the plan expander box is open.

Also, when I bring up the QDM it doesn't show either the range or the bearing to/from a particular navaid.  All that I can see are changing lat/long values.

I must be missing something obvious with these things.  ???

Hello,

you could (1) open the Information Window, (2) right-click on BZK and select "QDM: range and bearing", (3) move your cursor to the position desired (look at the Information Window) and (4) right click and select "Create user waypoint".

Please excuse me if I didn't understand your question.

Select SHOW RADIAL from the menu. Type the bearing and distance in the box.

Thanks, Cristiano but what is the Information Window?

Found it!  Thanks again.  J

Ah! The penny droppeth.  So easy when you know how.  Thanks, Tim.
