Flight plan not loading?

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,I recently decided that I wanted to replicate the Boeing 777-200LR's record breaking flight (Hong Kong to London flying eastbound). So I go to SimRoutes.com and create a rough route based on information that I have obtained, however when I select this flight in the flight planner, nothing happens, and the flight plan isn't loaded. What could be wrong? I have posted the contents of the .pln file below.[flightplan]title=VHHH to EGLLdescription=VHHH, EGLLtype = IFRroutetype = 3cruising_altitude=37000departure_id=VHHH, N22* 18.54', E113* 54.88', +000028.00destination_id=EGLL, N51* 28.65', W0* 27.68', +000080.00departure_name=Hong_Kong_Chek_Lap_Kokdestination_name=Heathrowwaypoint.0=VHHH, A, N22* 18.54', E113* 54.88', +000000.00, waypoint.1=3500N 18000W, I, N35* 00.00', W180* 00.00', +000000.00, waypoint.2=SFO, V, N37* 37.17', W122* 22.43', +000000.00, waypoint.3=LAX, V, N33* 55.99', W118* 25.92', +000000.00, waypoint.4=JFK, V, N40* 37.97', W073* 46.28', +000000.00, waypoint.5=EGLL, A, N51* 28.65', W000* 27.68', +000000.00, Thanks very much in advance!

Are you using only the 5 waypoints listed? If so it looks like a simplified route and it should work, the only hangup I see is waypoint #1 3500n 18000W, not sure if SIMROUTES will allow input of lon/lat postn's.I use FSBuild and update all my addon databases with NavData.at... if you do not have either you owe it to yourself to buy FSBuild which comes with a monthly AIRAC update.

What aircraft are you using (FSX I assume?).Thanks, Bruce.

I am using FSX, flying a Boeing 777-200LR.I have used the FlightAware format coordinates in SimRoutes many times before and it has worked. For some reason, this one route isn't being recognized by the sim at all.I'll keep trying and periodically report in.Thanks!

Did you ever get this sorted?

I just noted a strange thing with a premade flightplan that came with an aircraft addon. In this plan, flying from RKSI to PHNL over the Pacific, you cross the dateline, and there is a waypoint right on the antimeridian (W180). It looks ok in the PLN file, but in the FSX flight planner, this waypoint is shown as placed on the meridian (0 degrees) instead, over Africa. (Too long detour to follow)

The planner seems to have a problem differentiating between long. 0 and 180, so maybe this is some related bug you are seeing.
