waypoint <alt> <spd> <name> <lat> <lon>


This is the standard command to define waypoints.


Waypoints can be VOR or ADF target as well as airports, FIXES or GPS targets.


<alt> is the altitude in feet in which the waypont has to be crossed

<spd> is the speed in knots or mach (depeding on the current speedmode setting) in which the waypoint has to be approached. 


<lat> and <lon> are optional parameters. 


If  "set userinput on" is issued in the beginning of a flight plan, <alt> and <spd> values are not set and can be freely chosen by the pilot. 


FSXPilot will wait in a flight plan until the waypoint has been reached.


IMPORTANT: 

Because in the world of aerial navigation duplicate NAV names exist worldwide, the NAV range around the aircraft is approximately 400 km. Setting waypoints in a greater distance will probably fail. 


If you want to force FSXPilot to fly to a very distant target please use the farselect <ICAO> command.  


If you want to fly to specific GPS locations please use the gpswaypoint command.   



Example 1: 


waypoint 1500. 220. DME001


will make the airctraft: (1) adjust climbrate to hit 1500 m altitude at 'DME001' (intersection). Will set speed to 220. Will wait in flight plan until: (air) 1000 m inbound the target or (ground) 30 m inbound the target. This is all in one command.  Latitude and longitude are optional and not needed here. 


Example 2: 


farselect EDDM

wait distin 300.

waypoint 15000. 220. WLD

fly short autolanding EDDM 08l


will make the aircraft: (1) fly to EDDM and (2) wait until 300 miles inbound and only then fly to WLD VOR which is then in range and the fly a short GPS auto landing on rw 08L
