I'm having an issue entering more than 3 offset waypoints in a row.

after the third is entered the first waypoint in a route disappears.

 

eg if I enter

EGPH (Edinburgh)

POL

INH* an offset with the following properties (000deg/10nm)

INH* an offset with the following properties (020deg/10nm)

INH* an offset with the following properties (040deg/10nm)

 

if I try and enter a fourth offset then EGPH will disappear followed by POL

If I had entered a SID from EGPH then the waypoints of the SID would disappear one by one

 

I read the AOM and it mentions naming the subsequent offsets with suffixes to differentiate them but doesn't go into how.

I read (skimmed through) the Real FMS manual and it says name them as INH*1 or INH*A1 but the sim FMS wont accept that.

 

Is this just a limitation or am I doing something wrong?

 

I was initially trying to enter an arc hence the sequential INH offsets (Norwich Airport) although I've tried differing offset origins and the same happens

I'd suspect it's a bug/limitation in the FMS's FSX implementation, I've got that GNS-XLS to crash out the whole of FSX before by requesting the NAV page with a dodgy flightplan!
