Every flight I do the ATC says I'm off the airway...and he just won't let it go...flightsim shows me to be locked on the magenta line...I've been using PFE for many months and I have not been able to sort this one out yet...any ideas?...thanks

You have to reach your waypoints quite closely, depending on your speed:
>350 IAS = 4.5 nm
>250 <= 350 = 3.5 nm
>150 <=250 = 2.5 nm
<= 150 = 1.5 nm

But I have heard that Dave wants to relax these requirements a bit.

Which flight plan are you using in your FMC? If it's the original it could make a difference because PF2K messes with FP's :o

I don't know if my memory is getting worse as I get older...
...I just can't remember how it used to be!

Also, this can happen if you are using old flight plans or have updated your navdata since the FP was created and compiled. In most cases when I am told I am off the airway, creating a new flight plan sorts it.
