Problem with missing waypoints.

Postby FS1TR » Sat Aug 04, 2012 8:04 am

Steve,

I create the following FSX flight plan outside of IF:
KMKT FGT V26 EAU V413 ERIYI DUPME HIRUN KIWD
If I drop this flight plan on the IF icon, IF generates the flight. The resulting briefing includes all waypoints. However, the generated flight plan omits the last two (DUPME & HIRUN). Am I missing something in the IF setup? My current workaround is to let IF load the flight then I reload the FSX flight plan. This works but the ETA and fuel calculations will be off. Is there a better workaround?

Those waypoints do not exist in your scenery files, so they are included as USER waypoints. Please send me the plan you made so I can check it.

Attached are two flight plans. IF will not included the two waypoints prior to the destination airport in its generated flight plan.

Hi,
I found this is a problem with IF, the WPs get ignored during the .PLN build but otherwise appear properly in route.dat and the briefing. This problem is now fixed, it was to do with being very close to the destination.
Thanks for your help.

Not long to wait, we're just readying the boxed version, and expected a few things to crop up at this stage.
Thanks for your patience Tom.
