I am a new RC user and have just reformatted my drive and all software freshlyinstalled. Im using RC 301, no problems b4 even though I only used it a few times.So my problem is ATC vectors me away basically off into the opposite direction of myfiled plan?.This has happened twice in a row, 1st time I thought I may have had input errorssomewhere. Im using the PMG737, loading the flight plan from FS9 which is a duplicateplan as used by PMG FMC. I takeoff from the active runway as directed and then am told to fly off in the opposite direction?Changes in alitude are given and eventually told to fly using my own navigation, as soon as I do that ATC tells me Im off course?Cheers Pete

how far from the departure airport is the first checkpoint?jd

I deleted my original flight plan but reproduced it with FSNav. ATC had me climb and steer approx 180' as my 1st vector?. Further climb instructions and then fly own navigation.FSBUILD FLIGHT PLANFLT REL IFR LFMN/EGGP MACH LRC A/C B737-900 W/ CFM56-7B24 FUEL TIME CORR TOGWT LDGWT AVG W/CTAXI 000000 0000 . . . . 144924 133395 P000DEST EGGP 011530 0150 . . . .RESV 003815 0045 . . . .ALTN 000000 0000 . . . .
