Route planner

When  using  this  when entering  Phnl to Klas it gives me  a route of  over 10000 kms  which  takes me the long way round for some reason.  Where as if I use another  Route planner being  vroute it gives me the right  distance and route etc.

Are you using the NAT facility correctly? If not, you will be sent around the Atlantic rather than across it. HTH.

What ever  I  try to do, its  all the same  distance  over  10000kms  , I disabled nats, tried the reverse plan no luck,  have you got it  to work?

(It's not kms its nms). I'm getting that as well. Using FSCommander get 2483nm

You are right, Peter. Most peculiar. Feedback to RouteFinder is the only recourse.

One time it took my YMML-KLAX route up through asia, canada and alaska

It doesn't take the pacific routes well.

Assuming it is PHNL to KLAX (Honolulu to Los Angeles), we don't talk about NAT (North Atlantic Tracks) but PACOTS (Pacific Organized Track System). rfinder doesn't seem to deal with these pacific tracks, hence it will try by all means to build a "conventional" route no matter what it takes in terms of time and detour.

Thx  for heads up on this

However earlier versions of AIRAC on FSC show both high and low routes through the Pacific. If on RouteFinder you choose one of the earlier databases (for example 0903) it will build a more or less correct flight plan, though it will be outdated and can cause conflicts with current AIRAC.

Maybe you also want to give this software a try:

I just found it a few days ago, so I don't know if it works 100%, however that what I have tried worked as intended.

I use this one:

Really great and you can choose source for route. It's so good I don't know if I will change to pfpx when it's ready (if it ever will be)

Hi,

 

I personally have a couple of software that you can find on the market, and I use them all together because I think each of them actually brings something special....Here is a video I did (not perfect) but that could help you a bit....if you have some questions, don't hesitate...
