Hello all,
I was trying to code the circling approach into Dubrovnik (LDDU) runway 30 into the FMC on a 738. It's the last page of this document:

(With the risk of sounding like a magenta line warrior, I specify that I was not planning to use it, but explore the various functions, as I'm new to the type.)
Doing this, I tried to force a few of the waypoints to be fly-over (the base turn point and GR), as per the charted procedure. However the FMC uses it's turn anticipation and creates fly-by waypoints, effectively tightening the procedure.
The captain didn't know, and I didn't find anything about it the FCOM. On my previous type I could lineselect the waypoint and enter a /0 (like an uproute or downroute waypoint), to force it to fly-over instead of fly-by. Are there any similar functions avaliable in the 737?
(And the disclaimer again: it's for practice and system knowledge, not because I'm unable to find the cockpit windows.)
