November 18, 200421 yr In building my flightplan EGLL-LFMN, with departure from EGLL 9R, I found that the SID offered to me from within the PMDG FMC dBase stretched out to a point about 40 miles east of my proposed flightplan. I had generated the flightplan from "Routefinder" online.My question is this: in such a case, do I amend the flightplan so that it joins up the end of the SID, or do I truncate the SID and turn off it earlier to join the flightplan? How does this work? Also, is a "transition" a waypoint or path from the SID (or STAR) to the flightplan? What if there is no transition offered in the FMC?I appreciate any guidance or advice on this, thanks!JS Jonathan Sacks Dell XPS Gen 4, Pentium IV Northwood extreme 3.8Ghz, 3Ghz RAM, eVGA 7900 GTO, 12 GoFlight modules plus MCP-PRO AP and EFIS, GF pedestal, CH rudder pedals, CH throttle quadrant, 42" LG LED, 24" DELL LCD, Windows XP, FS2004, FSUIPC 3.96 FS Autostart 1.1 (Build 11), FS Navigator 4.6, UT, FE, GE, REX, PMDG, Level-D, PSS, etc.
