[FIXED] UPFC entry DST->CLR does not fully clear waypoint

[okopanja]

I found out that attempt to clear the waypoint removes only numerical values for latitude and longitude.

The hemispheres remain as before clearing as well as altitude and it's sign (positive/negative altitude sign)

Steps to reproduce:

1. enter coordinates for:

1. latitude
2. select S with R2
3. longitude
4. (unfortunately unable to select see bug I posted earlier below). E will be default on Caucasus

2. enter altitude and accept it

4. now change altitude sign into - with L4 for depression altitude

With this part initial waypoint is entered.

5. head to DST page on the MFCD

6. Use CLR button to clear the waypoint

7. locate and select waypoint (either in DST page or with entry field 1 in UFCP)

8. enter latitude, once accepted it will show S as it was designated within point 1.2: this is wrong, the waypoint has been cleared, it should show the N

9. in altitude field the previous value enter in point 2 will be displayed: this is wrong, the waypoint has been cleared and it should show 00000

10. further more, you will notice that altitude sign has remained negative, which is wrong, by default it should be +

@uboats can you please confirm this? (do I need to create a TRK for this?)

Thank you, I already replied the first UFCP ticket.

Many thanks for the reply and fix.

Altitude is reset to 0 now.

Thank you very much for the rapid fix, but I also found out that it is not 100% fully reset in case of hemispheres.

E.g. on Caucasus (N and E hemisphere):

1. Enter the coordinates and intentionally set wrong hemisphere for that map, e.g. W and S instead.

2. Clear the waypoint

3. Enter coordinates for that waypoint again, they will default to W/S. I would expect it to be E/N

In contrast untouched waypoint will have E/N by default, so therefore the re-entered waypoint should behave the same way as pristine waypoint.

One question that remains it the following:

Which hemispheres will be default in e.g. Caucasus, Nevada? Would that be E/N for Caucasus, or W/N for Nevada (since customer may be in a different hemisphere)? Or it will always be E/N (since both Pakistan and China are there)?
