The tutorial #2 states on page 92: Copy waypoint TESGA into scratchpad,then enter TESGA over the waypoint GMH,thus

creating a shortcut.

 

The problem I am facing is that it does not work !  Same for any other waypoint shortcuts.To the scratchpad works ok but not

from the scratchpad back.

 

I started the program using "Before take off".

 

Did anybody encounter the same problem ? What causes this I wonder.

 

Thank you

I thought it might be a problem with NAVDATA updates.  My FlightSim Commander (updated last month) still has TESGA in it's NAVDATA file.  I need to redo the tutorial just for proficiency, so I'll report back when I get to that stage.  I'll update NAVDATA to the current iteration before I begin.  It may be a few days.  This section of the tutorial just shows you how to cut a corner ... pretty simple.

I just loaded PMDG  ver 1D FSX tutor# 2 (tutor files I copied from the Steam folder)  to test and I see the same problem you reported.

I am using the current Navigraph Navdata cycle.

Hubert ,

 

I had a chance to now test this in P3Dv2.5.

 

All ok.

 

So it looks a PMDG v1D FSX Tutor#2 flight (ready for takeoff ... only one I tested so far) problem only.

 

Have you tested other tutor flights?

 

Edit:

Later instead of loading the Tutor flight I entered the route manually ... all ok.
