February 23, 201412 yr Hey there, I'm yet another virtual pilot having a problem with inserting SID's, Stars and waypoints in the FMC. I used FSBuild to create a flightplan from EGLL to EHAM (EGLL..BPK.UR123.CLN..UL620..REDFA..EHAM) and exported it to FSX and the 737NGX. Both the game and the the plane accept the route without any problem (using flight planner in FSX and co route in the FMC), However for the sake of realism I want to insert the route into the FMC myself. Now I hit my problem: When I load the co route in the FMC it gives me the following route: VIA TO DIRECT BPK UR123 CLN UL620 REDFA DIRECT RW36L When I try to copy this result and put in the second waypoint line in RTE (page 2), UR123 in the VIA box on 2L the FMC gives the error 'INVALID ENTRY'. Why? I allready updated the navdata using navigraphs latest cycle and their program 'Navigraph FMS Data Manager". Why does the FMC accept the route from FSbuild but not from me?
February 23, 201412 yr Author Uhm, yeah. According to the Navigraph FMS Data Manager i've updated both the 737NGX and FSBuild to 1402 rev 2.
February 24, 201412 yr Commercial Member When I try to copy this result and put in the second waypoint line in RTE (page 2), UR123 in the VIA box on 2L the FMC gives the error 'INVALID ENTRY'.Why? FSX only truly pays attention to the individual points, if I'm not mistaken. I believe COROUTE will drop airways if there's some error in the routing, too, and just accept the TO points. I'd imagine if you were to pull in the COROUTE and then look at the LEGS page, you'd find BPK and CLN immediately following. My route software does not show BPK to CLN via UR123 as valid routing, so...uhm...I don't know what to tell ya other than FSBUILD is incorrectly routing you. Kyle Rodgers
February 24, 201412 yr UR123 doesn't exist in the 1402 AIRAC... for FSBuild or for the PMDG aircraft. That's why your route won't enter. Take a look at your cycle number in FSBuild and make sure it shows 1402 and that you have rebuilt the map database. DJ
February 26, 201412 yr Is this a FSBuild self-generated route? A correct route (taken from vatroute.net) sholud be BPK Q295 CLN L620 REDFA. Have you tried it? Stefano Piccoli
