Lately I have a problem entering flighplans into the FMC 

Got the message invalid entry when trying to load a PFPX generated flightplan into the T7 FMC 

At the first try a error message flashes for less than a second showing the destination airport is not in the selected .rte file - import aborted

Tried to load a route generated by Vroute - same result 

Checked the route files and the destination airports are shown in the files 

.rte files are in the correct fsx directories

as examples ehameggl / ehameddf / ehamomdb ehamfaor - not accepted 

strange is that omdbeham - faoreham are accepted by the fmc - seems that it is not the destination airport but eham is the problem 

(the same happens in the 737NGX fmc

Someone any idea ?

 

 

 

Could it be that a waypoint near EHAM included in the flight plan is invalid or not in the database that is causing the trouble? Just a thought. Check for similarities in the plans from Amsterdam.

You have to edit any rte files that departs from EHAM. Open the rte with notepad. Near the top there will be two values associated with EHAM saying -11. Just edit so that the - isn't there. I just make it 11, but I guess any number higher than 0 will do.

 

 

 

Thanks both for the answer

The solution from RobSimmons seems to work - adjusted the -11 to a positive figure (1) and routes are loaded into the FMC 

Thanks again 

I've had the same problem with EHAM but only with the 777. I have flown the 747, MD-11 and NGX extensively from EHAM with no problem. It's odd that the OP has the same problem with NGX but I don't. At least there's a workaround. Oh and just for the record I am using FSBuild for my flight planning.

Cool, that solved my issue as well. For the record I use FSBuild too. I did try Simbrief to see, but that didn't work either. My NGX worked just fine witht he same flight plan without having to modify anything so it was a bit confusing to me why the T7 wouldn't work, but I found this thread and can fix it for now.
