I dont know why there is a character limitation in a FLIGHT PLAN, but please tell me this is planned to be either removed competently or at least changed...

 

Am doing DOH-ORD and this is my flightplan:

 

ALVEN P430 ALTOM DCT MIDSI R659 SYZ P574 SAV L124 ZAJ UR654 MAGRI N77 ADANO N82 LAPTO A234 SORLU R11 BUTRI N39 TE B231 UK L169 TU R58 NOTAR P855 TLL DCT EXUPA DCT EPAXU DCT ROGTU DCT NETAV DCT ROBRO DCT TABEV DCT 67N000E 68N010W 68N020W 67N030W DCT ASTAN DCT 63N050W DCT MAXAR DCT MUSLO N862A LOPVI DCT VP DCT GL DCT YMO DCT YYU DCT SSM WYNDE9

 

And apparently its too long for Swift..

 

Anyone else who has ran into this by any chance?

Just as a possible temporary work-around, you might leave out all of those "DCT" entries. They're not needed by ATC. We know that you're proceeding DCT if there's no airway shown between two waypoints.

Even after removing all the DCT its still to long, and even when i removed the coordinates for when i flew over the atlantic. It was still to long :/

Hi Chris,

 

this limitation is NOT specific to swift, but on the server-side (VATSIM). How much information have you filled into the remarks? Possibly this exceeded the limit.
