This might be a dumb question? During an IFR flight simple flight Kastrup CPH. to Århus I was doing ATC kept on telling me to continue to VH812 ? At first I thought it was a frequency,but didn't find any. Then I thought it could be an ICAO to an airport on the way to my destination, didn't find one either by that ID ?...

I have to mention that the sim took its' time to start/continue past the Loading manager ( Looking for updates) Window tonight, If this could have enything to do with my confusion?...

 

Any advice will help 

Are you sure it was VH812, or could it have been CH812? The latter is a waypoint on some SIDs out of EKCH, for example the ODDON 1B departure.

Did ATC assign a SID for the departure?

Martin thanks for your interest in my quest for a reply/ explanation. First I am preaty sure it said CH812 it was in the written notice on the ATC window; First I thought it meant CH= Channel therefore I checked the frequencies which are many Then I looked for an ICAO for a nearby airport/Field; But I found nothing related. I simply continued to fly at a heading it gave me in the first instance, ( Yet it continued to tell me " Continue to CH812" I abandoned the flight and exited the sim. The internet here has been playing a bit. we got a new cordless modem for out TV downstairs, where the other modem is as well and maybe they are playing against  each other ( I HOPE NOT ). Or something else. I'll repoprt if this continues.

ATC was telling you to proceed to waypoint CH812, which is a waypoint associated with a SID. (The "CH" in the waypoint refers to Kastrup airport -- it's the last two letters of "EKCH".) ATC should usually only do this if the waypoint is on a SID that you have been cleared for -- but if that wasn't the case, you could still simply have entered the waypoint into your FMC as a "direct to".

Martin again thank you for helping me with this.Your explanation is very helpful. I have never used the FMC for any kind of flying, although I must be missing something special in simming,I don't enjoy a good memory, personally, to know how to use it. This just came out of the Blue, last night, reason why I posted.The Cessna 172SP doesn't have a FMC.

I did beggin the flight with  the Baron 58 and once in the runway I changed it for the Cessna, maybe I shouldn't have done that, because the sim could have got confused🤪.

I really don't have an explanation for this. Other than this acount. 

 

Thank you for your assistance and good advice.

In that case, you would enter the waypoint in your GPS -- either the G1000 (if that's the version of the 172 you're flying) or whichever GPS is installed in the "round-dial" version of the 172 (I think it's the GNS 530?).

Thank you Martin, although I am not an FMC flier; I'll give it a try and report.

Lots to learn.

I believe that the Working Title folks are overly keen to add runways, SIDs, and STARS to any flightplan..  This may make sense for an airliner with an FMC, but not for a small GA aircraft with a Garmin GPS.

I have tried to bring this up with the WT guys on their Discord, without much success.. 🫢

Bert,thanks for your reply. It seems to be the only logic explanation. As I say above I am not an FMC flier, more an IFR. I may be missing something ( Part of the fun). I don't like to overcomplicate things. Just came up  for the first time in any IFR flight I've done in any sim, reason why I posted.

Thanks fro your imput.

Thank you all for your kind assistance and patients with which I end the topic.

 

Very grateful

If you were using a default sim-generated plan, VH812 might have been auto-included in your route. Try reviewing your navlog or flight plan details.
