BS2 Trial PVI-800 issue

[Muskoka]

Hey guys. I've downloaded the BS2 Trial, and I'm playing around with the PVI-800, trying to fly to an "Airfield". I've gone through the Training, and all works fine. I'm now using a mission I created in the Nevada map.

I've created waypoints in the mission editor, and have no issues flying on autopilot to any waypoint, 1 through 4. Problem is with an "Airfield". I have the proper coordinates for Nellis, and I've entered them in the PVI-800 for Airfield 2, correctly. While enroute to say WP 2, I'm selecting "Airfield" then 2 on the PVI-800, issue is the aircraft is not turning to the chosen "Airfield", it just keeps heading to the current "Waypoint". It's one of the steps in the navigation training and it works fine, I've no idea why it isn't working now, thoughts? I'm sure it's a step I've missed, but I've no idea what it might be.

If I call up "Airfield" 2 on the PVI-800, the correct coordinates are displayed, 36 14.1 115 01.9, if that helps. I've also changed the "Units" for lat lon in the PVI-800.  

Reading the manual it looks like it might be a Mission Editor thing? I have to put a landing airport in the mission editor? To get to Nellis I guess I need to enter it as a waypoint in the PVI-800 , I'm assuming.

 

Ok, still not working. I've entered Nellis as WP5, but the aircraft will not fly there. I see all my other waypoints have a red dot beside the longitude, the ones that were set in the mission editor, but wp5, the one I manually entered does not have the red dot lit up beside the longitude. Must be the problem but I'm unsure how to fix it.

 

Edit: Sorted out. When entering the latitude I need to hit "0+", when entering the longitude I need to hit "1-", that's what I was missing, east west setting. It all works out fine, and the aircraft correctly flies to the manually entered waypoint.
