Fsbuild-2 Flight Planner

I cannot add a STAR (NWEST) to this arrival airport MHTG in the flight plan box?
Using Navdata cycle 1306
Just an example here:
KLAX NWEST MHTG


Edit:
But this one tested ok: KDTW DIRTY1 KATL

In the past I just selected a STAR from the list of STARs in the FSBuild drop down list.

So, why is it in the drop down list if it is not a usable STAR?

It is a usable STAR, if you follow Ernie's instructions, and is there because it is in the Navdata. For whatever reason, Honduras chose not to use the 5 letter/number convention when naming the STARs and consequently NavDataPro and Navdata made some choices about how to depict these - in the charts they are spelled out as Northeast, Northwest, and West.

"You have to use the 'STAR' keyword after the procedure name to tell Fsbuild it is a Star."

I have never used a keyword before ............ how do I get this route to build?

In the past I just selected from the drop down box.

Maybe FSbuild should not allow wrong data into drop down box for users to pick from?

Ok, on using the keyword .. I just have not had to use it prior ... testing outside the USA i my see this more often ..

Also, I tested using "PM" mode to construct the plan ... that will use the 5 letter STAR name in the database. Just sayin.

Yes I know.
Example route.
I created the route in PM mode with the STAR and Built it.

Result:
KLAX PENSO NWEST MHTG
I save the plan.

Plan1

Start FSBuild again.
I load or type the plan KLAX PENSO NWEST MHTG, and build it without using PM.

Plan2

Different results.
