I have created a flightplan including SIDs and STARs but NO other waypoints (its a short flight).

When I export and select MultiFormat Flight Plan and select MSFS PMDG 'format' and export the .rte file only contains the departure and destination airports ie NONE of the  SID and STAR data 9is there.

 

If I add a fictitious waypoint (ie  ) and export then not only does the .rte file contain the fictitious waypoint, the SID and STAT 'waypoints' are added.

However not all waypoints for the STAR are added only the first waypoint for the STAR (the actual name of the STAR which display on screen in the flight plan as 'track to fix'

Is this normal?

If I knew how to upload the LNM flight plan and the .rte file I would. Following is a screen image of the flight plan. Only YSSY, RIC, WPT2, BUNGO and YSCB get written to the .rte file.

This is normal. RTE and most other export formats do not support SID, STAR and approaches and you have to add them manually after importing the plan.

Here is a table in the LNM user manual which shows flight export format capabilities: https://www.littlenavmap.org/manuals/littlenavmap/release/latest/en/FLIGHTPLANFMT.html#flight-plan-export-formats

Thanks Alex.  I guess I was expecting to be a bit lazy and have the flightplan add those points in the FMC.
