Flightplans with complex airport names

Featured Replies

Is there a known problem with complex airport names in flight plans? I have a flightplan in the Eastern Caribbean that causes the G3X to fail when loaded. I have narrowed it down to TNCS-TNCE which when removed, fixes the G3X. These airports all have long names with punctuation marks. Not sure if both are guilty, but thought I would ask first if this is a known problem.

I observed this problem in the Longitude about a year ago, exactly as you described. Whenever the next waypoint on the flight plan had a particularly long name, all the cockpit avionics would freeze up. When I deleted the long-named waypoint, everything worked perfectly again. It's not just you.

It's not just long names. I recently had an issue where the GNS750 would lock up because of bad SID data in an addon airport. After removing the SID the GNS worked fine, and after removing the addon airport the SID from the default airport worked fine as well.
