Dave,
Post your plan/route (that FSBuild, builds) here for us to look at.

Also post the plan/route that the FMC imports (FSBuild's exported file).

Ok here's the coded route that FSBuld came up with...

KROA MOL J48 EMI J48 PENSY ETX KABE

and here's the text of the exported file for the Legacy...

[Origin]
ident=KROA
type=1
latitude=37.325400
longitude=-79.975400
[Destination]
ident=KABE
type=1
latitude=40.652300
longitude=-75.440400
[Route]
gspd=0
countOfPoints=6
Wpt.00.ident=MOL
Wpt.00.type=3
Wpt.00.latitude=37.900400
Wpt.00.longitude=-79.106800
Wpt.01.ident=CSN
Wpt.01.type=3
Wpt.01.latitude=38.641200
Wpt.01.longitude=-77.865400
Wpt.02.ident=EMI
Wpt.02.type=3
Wpt.02.latitude=39.495100
Wpt.02.longitude=-76.978400
Wpt.03.ident=PENSY
Wpt.03.type=4
Wpt.03.latitude=39.907000
Wpt.03.longitude=-76.182600
Wpt.04.ident=ETX
Wpt.04.type=3
Wpt.04.latitude=40.580900
Wpt.04.longitude=-75.684000
Wpt.05.ident=KABE
Wpt.05.type=1
Wpt.05.latitude=40.652300
Wpt.05.longitude=-75.440400

and the error message upon trying to load this plan is...

FPL CONTAINS INVALID WPT

I have no problem programming that route into the FMC by hand.

any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Try building this route in fsbuild and see if it load into FMC.

KROA ETX KABE

Same thing, "FPL CONTAINS INVALID WPT" upon trying to load that flight plan built with FSBuild.

KROA ETX KABE

I don't have the product so I can't give you a direct answer. That export was confirmed working by other who had the product.

But maybe we can see a difference if you were to post the version you entered manually and saved. Maybe comparing the two files might offer a clue as to what it does not like in the file exported from FSB2.

Also what version of FSB are you using ? as I vagely remember this export may have been updated in one of the hotfixes.

Regards.
Ernie.

I've just started playing with the feelThere ERJ and I've found the problem of getting rid of INVALID WAYPOINT errors.

When FSBuild exports a flight plan for the feelThere ERJs in the various entires Ernie has quite correctly spelt longitude, L-O-N-G-I-T-U-D-E, the way I learned in geography all those years ago.

The good folks at feelThere have spelt it longtitude, that's L-O-N-G-T-I-T-U-D-E You can see examples of this in the plans Mark has posted above, this incorrect spelling is what is causing the problem. The ERJ MCDU expects the incorrect version and when it doesn't get it, it complains. The Dan Quayle of MCDUs!

The solution is simple. Open up a plan exported by FSBuild, do a find and replace, put in feelThere's incorrect spelling and hey presto, it works.

I've also noticed the variable "gpsd" In the FSBuild output this is 0, in all my saved plans to date it is 250, however it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Hope this helps.

Jackson,

Good catch! I looked at those things until I was blind and never saw that...
