Hi,

I'm having an issue with a particular flight plan, UHMA-UHMD. I create my flight plans using Little Nav Map and have never had a problem. Once I create the route, I validate it by loading it in PF3. Sometimes I'll get the message "last waypoint is too close to arriving airport" or "too close to departure airport", I'll then correct the offending waypoints, reload in PF3, check for any errors and continue. With this particular flight plan, I am getting "last waypoint to far from your destination airport", even though the total flight distance is only 234 miles. When I try to connect to FSX, I receive 2 errors, "could not find airport XXX in your database", and "no rwys at destination. PF3 cannot continue with this flight plan and will not load". I was going to use the oceanic feature and saw extra XXX waypoints added, with one added below the destination airport. I also looked at the .fpp file associated with the flight plan and saw the last waypoint in the list denoted as XXX with a Dist=132073. Not sure what is happening except maybe because the flight is so far north, that the lat/longs may be becoming a problem. Maybe you can take a look at the attached flight plan to see what's going on. No logs to attach or look at since the flight never connected.

Love the program and look forward to updates especially if there is integration with MSFS 2020.

Thanks for the help.

This is very strange because I've just used your flight plan and PF3 has worked perfectly and the resulting output is correct (see my attached FPP file). So the only thing I can think of is we have recently updated the FPP_Net.dll, which handles the flight planning output so I've attached the updated file in the same zip (below).

Here's what you need to do.

1. Make a copy of your existing FPP_Net.DLL file in your main PF3 folder.

2. Extract the attached FPP_Net.DLL file into your main PF3 folder.

3. In the main PF3 folder find and right click the PF3_Register.exe program and run it as Administrator. You won't see anything happen except it should make a new copy of the named FPP.Net.TLB

4. Now try loading the same flight plan. You can check the FPP file in PF3\Flight\FPP folder before going further and you obviously don't need FS running to do any of this.

Please let me know how you get on

Thanks for the response Dave. I'll check it out tomorrow and let you know how it turns out.

Thanks again for a great product and support.

Hi Dave,

Pleased to report your fix worked. I was able to load the flight plan and fly it with no problems. Thanks for the great support.

Excellent! I guess we fixed something we didn't even know was broken till after we'd fixed it!

Thanks for getting back to us
