Hi JD,I created a flightplan in FSNAV from LAX to SFO for my PMDG 737. The first navaid in the plan was the Gorman VOR (GMN). I exported the flightplan as a FS2004 plan and loaded it into RC3. The problem was that after takeoff RC3 showed 2004 miles to the next waypoint on a totally different course! I was then busted for straying off course. I think RC3 was calculating the distance to the Gormanston NDB (also GMN). I have no clue where that is but I'm guessing it's far from Gorman. BTW, I recently loaded the AIRAC 0502 update for RC3.How can I make sure RC3 uses the correct navaid when there is more than one in the NAVs.txt file with the same name?Thanks - and I can't wait for RC4!Peter HemmKTOA"The air takes me into its realm" - Beryl Markhamhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpghttp://jdtllc.com/images/RCsupporter.jpg

send me the .pln, and let me give it a lookjd

JD,The same thing just happened on a flight from KBUR to KSFO. The first navaid was the Filmore VOR (FIM). There seems to be only one FIM in the NAVs.txt file. Here's the entry:VA FIM Fillmore 34.356694-118.881292112.50Here's what that plan looks like:========================{flightplan}AppVersion=9.0.30612title=KBUR to KSFOdescription=KBUR, KSFOtype=IFRroutetype=1cruising_altitude=33000departure_id=KBUR, N34* 12.04', W118* 21.51', +000777.56departure_position=GATE 18destination_id=KSFO, N37* 37.14', W122* 22.49', +000013.12departure_name=Burbank-Glendale-Pasadenadestination_name=San Francisco Intlwaypoint.0= , KBUR, , KBUR, A, N34* 12.04', W118* 21.51', +000777.56,waypoint.1= , FIM, , FIM, V, N34* 21.40', W118* 52.88', +000000.00,waypoint.2= , REYES, , REYES, I, N34* 39.52', W119* 8.06', +000000.00,waypoint.3= , DERBB, , DERBB, I, N35* 15.35', W119* 38.49', +000000.00,waypoint.4= , AVE, , AVE, V, N35* 38.82', W119* 58.72', +000000.00,waypoint.5= , OAK, , OAK, V, N37* 43.56', W122* 13.42', +000000.00,waypoint.6= , KSFO, , KSFO, A, N37* 37.14', W122* 22.49', +000013.12,========================Before takeoff at KBUR the <1> waypoint in AdvDisp showed 2030m @ 200 degrees.Thanks,Peter HemmKTOA"The air takes me into its realm" - Beryl Markhamhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpghttp://jdtllc.com/images/RCsupporter.jpg

my guess, is you're running fs9.1, right?i'm guessing you're not running rc v3.1 - maybe your shortcut is pointing to rcv3.exe, not rcv31.execheck the splash screen when you start rc.i loaded your .pln file, without problem.if you're running 3.1, maybe your data files are somehow corrupt. maybe rick can email them to you.jd

>you need version 2272. instructinos are pinned at the top of>the forum>>jdThat seemed to do the trick. Thanks for the support.
