Flightplan waypoint highlights.

Featured Replies

Just wondering, whilst the aircraft follows the flightplan generated in the FMC, it does not automatically highlight the next waypoint when the previous one has been reached. Can anyone advise on this? The only way I can get it to select the next waypoint is by using the direct to function.

Never seen this issue before - have you entered your FP exactly as outlined in this video ?

This happened to me also.....

it happened after I had added and flown to a  waypoint enroute and then let the plane continue back onto the Flightplan's next waypoint....  that's when I noticed it wasn't changing the active waypoint to green.

Enroute to Geneva LSGG from Vienna LOWW.....    I entered flightplan and then SID/STAR as per video then looked at legs which seemed ok. 

I then wanted to check that I had entered the correct DEParture and when I looked at DEP page it cleared the existing DEP and I had to re-enter the DEP.

Now I'm enroute as per pic  and it can be seen that the active LEG is actually 3 legs in front of the leg that I am on.

Maybe re-entering the DEP has upset the sequence....

Followed the same procedure.

This whole 'not following waypoints in the FMS' has been a persistent bug with several Carenado AC as of late. Fortunately flight following isn't affected by this bug, but it is annoying.

 

My first flight in this bird was a mid-range flight which included sid/star/waypoints and it worked fine. My second flight was shorter and only had a sid with a transition point (no star, no additional waypoints) and the FMS wouldn't move through the waypoints as I would expect. It's an issue I've just learned to live with since Carenado can't seem to get it right.
