Hi AllI have had radar contact for over a year now, But for some reason after I create my flight using FSBUILD and then loading it into RC, The atc at my destination airport ALWAYS turn me away from the airport for sometimes up to a 100 miles and then I never hear from them again, I am getting so fed up with this as I dont know the reason for this so I end up reverting back to the FS9 default ATC or cancelling mt IFR and going it alone, Any ideas, Thanks Bill (BP)

Hi Bill,Can you provide a flight plan that is causing you this trouble? Is it one route in particular or several?My guess is that you're flying into a mountainous area. There are specific actions you need to take in these circumstances.Cheers,

Hi RayIt happens with all flights that are filed using FSBUILD, I get vectored to turn on a heading away from the destination airport and then i'm forgotten about, I thought I would see how far they will let me go before contacting me, Last flight it was over 100 miles and still nothing, I suspect it might be something to do with FSBUILD as default FS9 plans I seem to be vectored to the runway, Thank's Bill

Hi Bill,As it seems to be a FSBUILD issue we do have several beta testers who use it so perhaps one of them could give you some tips to prevent this kind of problem.Cheers,

I'm using FSB 2.3 and in most flights I am not having the issues you mention.Here are some caveats if you are using Autoroute in FSB:Be sure on the map view it shows the correct path before exporting to FS9. Check out the route to insure it hasn't due to an odd duplicated or mislocated waypoint in the FSB database calculated an odd leg.On the FSB Aircraft tab choose an aircraft profile nearest the one you are going to use. This helps to create a realistic vertical plan profile to indicate the climb and descent points to/from your chosen cruise altitude for your reference. Make sure your chosen cruise altitude is realistic for the aircraft type and trip length. Look at the FSB navlog or route table to confirm this.Make sure you are using the FS9 export and not the old RC adventure format export.On some very short routes with high speed aircraft it is easy to get overwhelmed with communications. Make sure if you have the comms that you ack each ATC instruction. If you do not, you may miss a waypoint credit even though you passed over it and RC can get out of sequence.Make sure you are making your ATC commanded altitude crossing restrictions. If you do not you will be vectored away from the airport until you have descended to it. Generally you need to be at the approach entry crossing restriction 40 nm from your destination airport. Make sure your altimeter is set correctly for the local pressure once below the transition altitude.That's all that comes to mind right now.
