xPilot issue - characters limit

Hello! I have experienced an issue with xpilot. I submited my flightplan, it says "Flightplan submited", and a controller told me that I need to file a fp in order to fly IFR. I submited it again and still didn`t appear in the database. I think that is has to do with characters limit at route field

This is my route (LICZ-LICZ):

It’s a server limitation, not an xPilot limitation. You can try removing items from the remarks if you have any.

The remarks field had only a few characters

You're likely not gonna get below the character limit either way. That is an insane amount of coordinates. I parsed your route, and I can't really understand what you are trying to achieve here.... But my advice would be to find a way to shorten it.

Oh boy I just realized where that was.

@Stan Eduard Unfortunately, you are not allowed to fly that flight on the network, due to its political sensitivity, set forth by VATSIM CoC A13/A17

Hi all,

in addition you also wouldn't file it like that in a real flight plan - the STAY indicator is usually used for such "special activities" in a certain area:

This doesn't have to be of military nature but also often used to perform air-works on maintenance flights to perform checks in flight etc.

Make sure to then also have a STAYINFOn/ in field 18 (Remarks) to indicate what you will be doing there - the n is for the number of the STAY area - so STAYINFO1/  then STAYINFO2/ etc.
