How the heck do you find certain waypoints in the flightplanner? Sometimes, when setting up a flight plan, if I am following a particular SID or STAR I have to search all over the bloody place to find a specific waypoint. Is there a trick that any of you use to go directly to that waypoint?

 

If you have a tip for me I'd be VERY appreciative!

It's annoying but you can't do anything but look for them.

 

I wish there was a way to type a name of a waypoint in and have it take you there.

The FSX flight planner is so basic, I use FSBuild and all waypoints are there for any worldwide airport and routes. I would recommend using FSB instead of the FS Flightplanner. BTW FSB exports to the .pln format along with .rte at the same time.

I would recommend using FSB instead of the FS Flightplanner.

 

I'd also suggest you to use an external flight planner (I believe there is a freeware one here in the library, too, though I haven't tried it yet.). I use FlightSimCommander, which I find quite good, since it "knows" most SID/STAR routes. FSC can also export the created flight plan in various formats (eg. *.pln, but also in formats required by Addons like PMDG, LDS etc.), so you don't need to feed the FMC with the whole flight plan data.

Use Super Flight Planner. If you can't find it there there is a utility which I use in FS9 to add facilities to the bgl files.
