B787-10 Legs Turn around at 180th Meridian

I’m trying to fly from KSFO to RKSI. Some of the waypoints are GPS coordinates. I have found when computing the route between 43N70 and 42E80 (crossing the meridian), the aircraft wants to turn around and go all the way around the planet. I’m not sure if I’m inputting these incorrectly or if this is just a bug. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

This has been in the sim for a long time. It will fly the right plan despite what you see.

Hi @UKFDubbstepp, thanks for the report. This is indeed a bug / limitation of the map code wraparound as it reaches the dateline. As @BlackSanta512 mentioned, it should fly the route without issue, just not draw the course line properly. Since there are a few other topics on this, am going to mark this one as closed. Below is a link for more info. Feel free to send me a PM if those posts don’t concern your original issue.
