Anyone still experiencing this after the latest update? From my research this was an issue at WU3 territory and the guess was way-points having long names causing it..

ie: The pink GPS line is missing randomly. Sometimes it shows up for certain legs, others.. Nope.

This also happens to me, in an erratic manner.

For me tends to be the first leg that does not show up but the rest do.

Same here.. 🙂

I tried to understand the "logic" (or lack of) of this phenomenon. It seems to depend on the way the flight plan is loaded. For example, if I use Simbrief or Aivlasoft EFB to make the flight plan, almost certainly my GPS loading will be affected somehow, for example looking at the FPL page, few or no information will be there, however my magenta line will appear with all waypoints. If I use the MSFS flight planner, it will show completely both the magenta and the FPL page with all waypoints.

I also noticed that the GPS loading will be influenced if I save the FP into MSFS before I make my selection of plane and airport, or after I load the airplane at the airport. 

Whenever though I select a SID or an approach, there will be no magenta line before the first waypoint (end of SID), or the approach will not be shown either in the case of STAR and approach, the magenta line will stop at the last waypoint before the approach, BUT the plane will fly the approach flawlessly.

First thing I do after loading a flight, is press the FPL button on the GPS. If the FP is not there, I simply restart the flight. It is always there on the second start. I have seen this in the Mooney, and the Arrow 3 using the 530.

Thanks Bob, I shall try that.

I just had this on the WT G3000....so maybe it's an Asobo thing rather than a WT thing.

There was also no data on the PFD about waypoints (nor on the top of the MFD for distances/data etc).  However, the CDI needle would deflect and the OBS is set to the DTK for the flight plan I entered.

It is always the waypoints missing in the GPS, but most times it will follow the route to the destination. I don't like flying like that, I want to see all the waypoints before I take off, that is why I restart it. Seems like the restart gets it to load into the GPS, where the initial launch misses the entire FP fairly often. I think it is a problem in MSFS loading the flight and all it's components the first time.

It's weird because it used to load for me.  In fact I did a flight in the Longitude yesterday (with the same G3000 mod) and the FPL showed on the MFD.
