Hi Folks,

 

Sometimes, I'll set up a flight plan in the sim using Asobo's flight plan page, then when I start the flight, a Departure procedure will be in place. However, there are times when the DP terminates without connecting to the Enroute portion of the flight (I don't think they are DPs with a vector enroute). 

There doesn't appear to be a way to delete a portion to connect the two parts of the flight plan so my workaround has been to fly the DP, then go Direct to the next waypoint. 

Is there a better way to do this without an interruption in the flight plan?

That's how I do it too whenever this happens. And I do think that actually is the official way to do it. After all, 'manseq' is (quote from the manual) 'a flight plan leg requiring the pilot to manually initiate sequencing to the next leg'. It's just how it is. You can't compare this with for instance a disconuinity in the Airbus MCDU that you can delete. In real life you may get vectors when you reach this part of the flight but in the sim a DT is the way to go. I suppose. ;)

I don't think I fully understand the issue since you can delete and insert waypoints, and can delete (clear) a MANSEQ entry as well (I use the G1000NXi).  Could you give an example flight plan that has the issue you are talking about.

I usually set up my flight plans in the sim on the G1000NXi. I'll got to simbrief for my routing, which will include airways. I start by adding origin airport and then destination airport. Then, I'll add my SID, then the route (by also utitlizing the airway section in the GPS) and then adding the STAR and approach (if I know what it's going to be). If there's any discontinuity, I'll manually edit that by using the CLR button. When I do it this way, the plane will fly the whole trip without me having to change or go DT.

In this instance, I did a short flight from PAGS to PAJN. The DP (as per Asobo) terminates prior to crossing the shoreline.
Incidentally, the DP on my Jepps has the DP terminating at SSR which is what I would expect for anything out of PAGS.

I can't seem to duplicate the problem. If you select the RNAV approach for R08 into PAJN, then SSR is one of the available transitions which seems like a good choice in this case. I don't see any issues. It would be helpful if you could post a screen shot of the flight plan in the G1000 that shows the type of problem you are asking about.
