'Not in Database' FMC problems

[Haza 5]

I wonder if anyone can help,I go to upselect a saved plane into co route, for example KJFKEGLL001.RTE and it returns not in database when I know it is so I wonder if the path is not correct, anyone shed any light?Many thanks Harry

It's KJFKEGLL0001.RTE iircTry adding that zero and see if it works.

No he had it right. It is 001. But the PMDG saved plans are in 3-letter format. It would be JFKLHR001. No period or RTE at the end.

Are you sure about the IATA codes? I remember EDDFVHHX001 working. No point or rte.

I pulled up the PMDG/Flightplans folder when I wrote it to be sure, it is listed in IATA codes.

hmmm doesn't seem to be the reason why by changing what I type, could it be the path to the fmc?Thanks for your help,Harry

Are you in FSX or FS9? For FSX, check the FSX/PMDG/Flightplans folder to make sure all the files are there. I just co-routed "JFKLHR001" into my FMC and it loaded fine.

I've saved dozens of flight plans. After you select "route copy" of an activated and executed flight plan, you will, for example, see it saved as "KIAHPANC001" I believe, if you update your Navigraph data base and some of the waypoints are changed, then it will show "Not in Data Base" when you try to load it.Pete Locascio
