Hi Dave,

   Just a general question here.  Sometimes i like recreating real world flights...for instance this one from flight aware: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/JBU485/history/20180218/1505Z/KROC/KJFK

   This flight is generally a direct SID to Star to Approach flight.  All of the Stars though route you to the east of JFK inbound and there does not seem to be any way to come in like the route above shows.  Presumably, the real flight came in on the IGN Star, and was routed to the west via ATC or something.

   Anyway, how would i recreate that route in p2atc or get ATC to direct me in via that same path?  Would i have to enter in the star's way points manually up to a certain point, and then pick non star waypoints that would route me in that direction?

Thanks,

Joe

1-Copy the Route from Flight Aware:

BEEPS Q140 YODAA IGN IGN1

2-Open FP Import window in P2A and paste the route.

3-Select Flight Aware as the source and press import.

4-Add  the departure and destination airports.

5-Now add the desired SID, STAR and Approach in P2A.

 

In the case of this particular flight, you will likely get Vectors to final from P2A.  However, they may not follow the same track as the real flight.  No way to control that.

ok, yeah was asking if there was a way to control the vectors.  thanks for the info.

This brings up another question. When you say you copied the Route do you mean manually or can you copy and paste ? I have tried to copy and paste Routings from Flight Aware but it will not allow me to. Is there a method?

Highlight the Route text line and press Ctl-C.

Then use Ctl-V to past into P2A.
