Hi, just bought Radar Contact, pretty happy with it. But, I file my IFR flight plan into RV4, load it into FS 2004, and onto my Planes FMC. Clearance and take off goes well then shortly after take of normaly after I reach cruise altetude I get told by the ATC that im of course from my filed flight plan even though FS Map shows im bang on course my FMC show im on track (im flying Level D 767) and Im running FS Commander which also shows im bang on course. ATC then instructs me to fly a heading in the oposite direction I have just come from normally back to my departure airport???? After hesitantly following ATC new heading I get told again im off course?This keep on happening flying from diffrent airports and roughly the same distance from my departure airport.What am I doing wrong? I just want to get to my destination airport with outh ATC saying after the third time im apparently off course they hope my driving isnt like my flying!Marcel

"ATC then instructs me to fly a heading in the oposite direction What am I doing wrong?"It's very simple, Marcel - you've missed a waypoint and RC is trying to turn you back so that you can fly over it and get 'credit' for it. You need to pass within 2nm of each waypoint in the departure phase and 5nm in the en-route phase for RC to register that you have progressed that waypoint. As in the real-world, it is your responsibility to manage the navigation of your aircraft to ensure you stay within these parametersRadar Contact displays the name of and the bearing and distance to what it believes is active waypoint at the top of the FSUIPC display window. If the bearing shows it is behind you and the distance to it is increasing, then you know you've missed it. There is a straightforward workaround when this happens. Page through the menus in the FSUIPC display window until you find the "Dir Ckpt" entry. Selecting this will give you a list of your flight plan waypoints. Select the one that matches the active waypoint in your FMC and all will be well.Pete

Couldnt be simpler, Ill pay closer attention to my waypoints next time. Thanks for the quick reply.Marcel
