Missed first VOR - Cant get on my planned FMC route

Featured Replies

Hello,Made an IFR flight plan following high altitude airways at FL270.I loaded the flight plan into the FMC.After take-off, ATC gently directed me away from my first VOR, although this VOR was not too close to the departure airport. If I then selected LNAV, the airplane would make a 180 degree turn to get back to the missed VOR. Then ATC yell at me to follow their direction again. I then tried to hit the following Intersection, but it didn't help, and ATC again put me on the direct line to the destination airport, not following any airways.What can I do if I miss the first waypoint and I cannot get on the planned FMC route?Kind regards,Nico
