Fsbuild-2 Flight Planner

Hi,

I wonder why could not get the accurate FP possible trough FSbuild, normally it s easy to do just enter departure and arrival airport then autogenerate, but like that i always get a slalom route.

How about an example of the slalom route you're speaking of? An example will help us understand what you mean.

In this case - DAAG - LEPA, the complete plan looks like DAAG SID9 SADAF OSGAL.OS1DCP LEPA since the SID puts you off to the West of DAAG and SADAF is the next nearest waypoint. Looking at charts this is the correct route. If you want a straight line route then just disable the use of SIDs and STARs. The second case, DAAG - LFPG is about as close to a straight line as the airway structure and SID/STAR structure will allow: DAAG SID1 MJV UL129 POS UN855 PPG UY27 MEN UY27 CFA MOU.MOU6E LFPG. You are following airways all the way into France and then pick up the Eastern STAR into de Gaulle. Do the routes you generate differ and what do you consider an 'accurate' flight plan to be?

I find that autogenerate does a very good job most of the time. If I get what looks like an unnecessary deviation, I'll search for VORs in that area and see if there's one that works better. If there is, I'll replace the autogenerated one with the more suitable one and then rebuild the flight plan. I'll also delete waypoints if I think they are unrealistically close to each other. You can pretty much do whatever you want. If you don't like an autogenerated flight plan, change it.
