May 7, 201511 yr When there is a VECTORS leg in a route, how is the distance-to-go calculated for the Progress page?

May 7, 201511 yr Good question, I always assumed it only included either 1) segment distances between waypoints along a route, or 2) direct route distance between two waypoints or destination when route is not known. Under my assumption, any additional distance encountered during a VECTORS segment is in addition to the DTG value. I have to try to remember this on my next trip, include a VECTORS segment such as between STAR and APPR and watch the DTG before and during the vectors segment. Should be easy to confirm my assumption. Dan Downs KCRP
May 8, 201511 yr Author Thanks, Dan. I shall be interested in your findings. Cheers, Richard Intel Core i7-7700K @ 4.2 GHz, 16 GB memory, 1 TB SSD, GTX 1080 Ti, 28" 4K display Win10-64, P3Dv5, PMDG 748 & 777, Milviz KA350i, ASP3D, vPilot, Navigraph, PFPX, ChasePlane, Orbx
May 8, 201511 yr Commercial Member I believe that it's an assumed direct. This is why you get that DES PATH UNACHIEVABLE on the LINDY arrival to JFK. You shouldn't need to load a STAR, either. The CAP8 out of IAD has a vector right at the beginning. Check the DTG between the altitude-based point and the fix after the (VECTORS) portion. Kyle Rodgers
