After many years on and off as a VFR flyer, I am getting back into simming at an old(er) age.  As I try to catch up, running into a re-occurring problem with flight plans. 

 

Just got a Navigraph subscription to help ...and it certainly does.  These days, I mostly fly the HJet and SF50.  

 

In entering a flight plan, after the origin/destination, I always get a red waypoint and line on the GPS map.  Certainly, I am doing something wrong, but no idea what.  Entering procedures will sometimes add an additional flight path.  Sometimes I can remedy the discontinuity, but sometimes not.  Suspect I am confused with transitions/approach.  Either way, I seem to end up following a red path vs magenta.

 

In searching for answers, I haven't found much that mentions this.  Can anyone point me in the right direction to remedy the red waypoint/track and possibly get a better understanding of transitions to SID/STARs?

The next part is understanding how to plan for TOD as I usually end up nose diving to bleed off altitude at the destination.

 

Thank you.
