Hey guys,
I had intended to fly a long leg this morning, however things didn't pan out as expected.
I chose the longest Air France A320 route available UGEE - LFPG (Yerevan, Armenia - Paris De Gaulle, France) I was unable to find a route using vroute.info and so opted to use the route I found on vataware. I noted the route and when trying to plot it using the Route Plotter I encounted strange results.
I entered UGEE as the origin which it recognised and LFPG as destination which again it filled out as De Gaulle. Normally when tabbing from the destination it will then mark both airports on the map and draw a line between the 2. It only showed LFPG, therefore no route line, also in the route box below the map it only listed LFPG and not UGEE.
Is there a problem with the route plotter and UGEE, if I enter another airfiled all seems ok.
I tried with Firefox, IE8, and safari to confirm it wasnt a browser issue.
After an unsucessful attempt to get the route plotter to work I opted for a flight between LFPG and Tel Aviv (cant remember ICAO of the top of my head) as it had a dispatch route according to "find a flight". When I clicked the Dispatch Button in ACARS, nothing happened....is ACARS dispatch broken in the new ACARS 2.2 release?
At that point I decided to sulk and didn't try another flight...

I've managed to replicate the problem; it seems that route plotter recognizes the airport but cannot locate it on a map. I suspect there are other airports in the database that also fall into this category. I would suggest filing an issue tracker and if you find any other of these anomalies, continue filing issue trackers or e-mail one of the Ryans.

It's possible that UGEE isn't in the database... yet. My guess is that it will be up shortly.
