Set a flightplan to Coordinates?

Is there a way to set my flight plan to coordinates and not an airport? I want to fly to a bombing range but there is no airport near by.

you should be able to put in the longitude and latitude coordinates, yes... it may depend on the craft, though, and how you program its autopilot device...

lat,lon coords work in the launcher as well as in the route manager accessed in-sim via the F10 menu... how they are put in is specific, though... the form must be as expected...
"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up."
"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."
