Hey guys,
I'm getting ready for my 757CR and i tryed using deltas route ploter in the pilot center i make the plan as outined in the CR mail, but when i try loading it in FS9 it just comes up as a Direct GPS, it happened when i was doing the 737 CR but the Airways were prety easy to find but in this i can't find LODUY and CLOWD i know CLOWD isn't there but i need to know how far it is from the TNP VOR so i know when to turn off the A/P and A/T.

Get the latest AIRAC, and the route plotters routes show as direct GPS, although they're not.

You can just do what I did. Its time consuming but a sure shot. Just find each waypoint in your FS map Route Maker. It can be time consuming trying to find each waypoint cuz they're so small but if you use the charts you have a good idea of what direction to look in for how long smile

I had each way point programmed into FS through their editer and each waypoint into the FMC.

Though, I failed the first time cuz I still managed to goof one of the waypoints smile

But anyways, its as accurate as you can get if u know what to do.

Do this.

Open the .PLN file your saved from route plotter in notepad and change the 'routetype' from '0' to '3'. Save the .PLN file and now when you load it, it will show as IFR.

As far as waypoints are concerned look onto the Web Resources section. It contains a link to a site from where you can update the FS database and then you should be able to see most of the missing waypoints.
