Post subject: | Max number of waypoints in flightplan? |
Hello, I've been using PFE for a few years now, most of the time without problems. But recently I purchased the PMDG 777 and since then i'm venturing into a new world for me, that is the world of long haul flights. Last night I wanted to recreate the real world BA15 flight, going from Heathrow to Singapore. I had PFPX create a flightplan for me and exported it to FSX. I then succesfully recompiled the plan to PF2000 format. But then the problem emerged. The Compile button in PF2000 remained greyed out. I tried fiddeling with the settings, but no success. I then tried to figure out if it was related to origin or destination airport by compiling a EGLL-OMDB flight and a OMDB-WSSS flight. Both worked fine. I saw that the EGLL-WSSS flightplan I created consists of 108 waypoints. So I first tried to compile a EGLL-VHHH flightplan of 112 waypoints => no success. I tried to delete some waypoints in the original EGLL-WSSS flightplan, reducing the number to 87 => success! flightplan compiled... Now, my question: Is there a workaround for this? Or is there a max nr of waypoints PFE can handle? Thx in advance for any advice! Kind regards, Nico |

Another "User" has had issues with flightplanning using PFPX (Orbx) product i believe ,for now try compiling using FSX own planner and see how you get on, |

Hi Dave, Thanks for the quick response. However I don't think it has anything to do with PFPX, as I've succesfully compiled flightplans created with PFPX before. Just to be sure, I created another flightplan from EGLL to WSSS using FSBuild, same problem occurs. I really think it has something to do with the length of the plan. kind regards, Nico |

I use FS9 and occasionally have a problem compiling with a plan I created using this webpage http://www.simroutes.com/fb2/ParseRoute.aspx The solution in those circumstances is to first LOAD the plan in FS9, then save it. It will then compile correctly in PFE. I suggest you try that. Peter |
