"Sounds like the antarctic routes?"Could be :-)I thought these routes were uploaded via ACARS, though? (Surely the weather down there is too unpredictable to plan too far ahead?).Here's somewhere else you've probably never flown one of our 767's to...."ORDDTW001" (Chicago to Detroit).I can't even think why we'd have that in our database :(Cheers.Ian.

Ian, the later 767 databases (as you say OGF on) share various routes with the 747-400. I would imagine that LAXORD001 would have been loaded in preparation for the new QF93 service, with ORDDTW in as a diversion route. Either that or we're starting a multi sector U.S. trip on the 767 (wishfull thinking)!

So which pole is MPOLE?In FS I can't find SPOLE either, but NPOLE is there.Martin767 fetishistIt's a lot like life and that's what's appealing

"In FS I can't find SPOLE either, but NPOLE is there."South Magnetic Pole in our database, Martin ;-)Cheers.Ian.

"I would imagine that LAXORD001 would have been loaded in preparation for the new QF93 service, with ORDDTW in as a diversion route."Good thinking, thanks, Anthony :-)Cheers.Ian.P.S. I've noticed that a lot of our diversion routes don't have a complementary (return) route (i.e. there may not be a DTWORD001 route in the database). Seems odd.

Yeah, that's true of quite a lot of them. I would imagine it is presumed that in the air time constraints dictate a quick FMC route entry, whereas when the aircraft is on the ground at the diversion port there is plenty of time to manually enter the return routing. Just a thought again!

So SPOLE and MPOLE are the same? Or does SPOLE (and NPOLE?) refer to the true poles as opposed to the magnetic ones?I'm confused, but with the FS world effectively being a barrel it doesn't really matter, as you can't reach the poles (not sure if it's still a barrel in FS2004 though).Martin767 fetishistIt's a lot like life and that's what's appealing

"So SPOLE and MPOLE are the same?'I'll let the experts answer that one. Martin ;-)"Or does SPOLE (and NPOLE?) refer to the true poles as opposed to the magnetic ones?"Likewise!"...but with the FS world effectively being a barrel it doesn't really matter"Good to know. I used to worry about falling off the edges of the earth... now I only have to worry about falling into the earth :-) The world is my oyster.... to others, a (beer?) barrel.Chee...hic... eers.Ian.

>"...but with the FS world effectively being a barrel it>doesn't really matter">>Good to know.

Ian, I tried those Antartic routes in ZXF, what a blast!I noticed that MPOLE can be transposed to either the North or South pole in the route page. We had NPOLE in the database but no SPOLE.Bit of harmless fun.
