Hi all

I've been trying to complete the above route in the T7.

I have used a saved flight as I don't have the time to do a

real time one.

On Two occasions the flight has failed to follow the fms programed

Plan (egll to cyvr direct).

I use auto compression of time with lnav and vnsv armed

In the first instance I found the plane skimming along the ground

With the gear extended automatically somewhere in North America.

On the other the plane failed to turn South towards cyvr and continued

Straight across North america and started making slow s shaped turns

On the way. Also the nav display showed cyvr in the centre rather than the plane

At the end of the Magenta Line.

I don't use any other addons other than opus fsx.

Any help would be appreciated

EGLL to CYVR direct is not actually a valid flight plan. I suggest you spend a little time with a flight planners such as  _{http://www.flightsimaviation.com/_flight_planner.html} and/or Simroutes at _{http://www.simroutes.com/fb2/showplans.aspx} to produce an actual flight plan for the FMS to follow. These are just free examples, but there are plenty of others you can use.

 

Also worth knowing is that saved flights have always been a bit troublesome for complex sims, as if there is anything untoward, saving and loading again tends to exaggerate it.

Very correct.

 

The Trike should always be the default aircraft on the Free Flight screen in FSX.

Hi Paul and Byork

Thanks for those replies.

Interestingly simroutes allows a direct route between EGLL and CYVR on the generate route option,wheras the flightsimaviation link gives a more detailed routing with fixes.

I will try the above and hope to have more success.

Generate Route is the option when you want to build the entire flightplan your self, something that is going to take quite some time, and knowledge of valid airways etc. Search route is the better option and a better bet for most users and cranks out this plan:
