Adding waypoints to the Saab 340 FMC

Featured Replies

I took advantage of the latest sale and bought 3 Carenado aircraft. One of which is the Saab 340. I installed the latest AIRAC no problem.

I realise the FMC is not the best in the market but I have a basic problem with it. I can enter the departure and arrival airports plus the SIDs and STARs but I can't for the life of me enter any waypoints in between those. So if for instance I fly from Edinburgh to Cardiff I get to TLA then go straight to RETSI (end of SID beginning of STAR). 

According to the manual you should be able to alter the plan to suit which I supposed meant you can add waypoints but I just don't see how. Tried everything I can see there. 

Any help gratefully received!

I will answer this one myself!

It appears that DCS (Deans Cross) is not recognised in the Saab 340 nav database even though it is definitely in all Navigraph data. I wonder why that is or what other waypoints/VORs are missing? 

Anyway if it happens to you choose the next waypoint on in your plan and try and insert that.
