Joseph Walburn 990824 Posted February 15, 2007 at 03:58 AM Posted February 15, 2007 at 03:58 AM Do any of the smarter kids in cl[Mod - Happy Thoughts] know if there is a way to plug in Victor and Jet routes in FS9 Flight Planner??? Naturally, many FAA preferred routes contain a combination of waypoints, jet routes, vor's, and Victor routes. Sure would like to get an answer to this. Ive got the PMDG 737NG on order and the FMS may solve this problem, but there are many other planes that do not have that wonderful gadget. Thanks, boys and girls.

Craig Moulton Posted February 15, 2007 at 04:08 AM Posted February 15, 2007 at 04:08 AM Better yet, visit simroutes.com and you can find and import a preferred route (if one is available), as well as input your own route, and export it in FS9 format and you're all set.

Dylan Kay 974936 Posted February 15, 2007 at 05:57 AM Posted February 15, 2007 at 05:57 AM i usually just plug in the waypoints of the jetways into the FS9 GPS(including the SIDS and STARS of airports), works fine for me Dylan Kay Oakland ARTCC S3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Morris 920567 Posted February 15, 2007 at 04:29 PM Posted February 15, 2007 at 04:29 PM Also check out FSBuild or FSNav. Two good payware programs that will allow you to do this. http://www.execjetva.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl Roach 988606 Posted February 16, 2007 at 05:28 AM Posted February 16, 2007 at 05:28 AM I use the FS9 planner a lot, and actually it already has all the airways you need. The only thing is you cannot set the route to an airway, just to any intersections/VORs/NDBs on it. All you have to do is click and drag the red route indicator line to one of the objects on the airway and it will place your route directly on it. Just be warned though that a lot of the intersections on current SIDs/STARs are not on the FS9 planner because it is extremely outdated. I am looking for a way to add intersections/objects to it, but haven't figured that out yet. I bet there's a way though...

Tyler Smith 864159 Posted February 16, 2007 at 10:16 AM Posted February 16, 2007 at 10:16 AM As you guessed, the FMS will do this for you on the PMDG. Just put in the airway that you are using on the "Via" section of the route. Also- I'd like to second Craig's suggestion of Simroutes. If the route that you want isn't there, you can use the route generator feature (including the intersections on DP's and STAR's if you like), and then download the flightplan in FS9 format. Then, you can load it up into the default GPS just like any other flightplan. It works like a charm. I use this very often when I'm flying an airliner without an FMS. Hope that helps somewhat.

Bob Woolley 999205 Posted February 19, 2007 at 07:17 PM Posted February 19, 2007 at 07:17 PM Craig Moulton 810358 Once you creat a route on simroutes,com and download it as FS9, where exactly to you load it into FS9??? Thanks in advance. Dylan Kay 974936 How do you plug in waypoints etc. into the FS GPS or are you talking about simroutes? Thanks Bob KVGT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Boger 942264 Posted February 19, 2007 at 11:46 PM Posted February 19, 2007 at 11:46 PM I just go DIRECT I prefer the realistic way Yeah. Another thing you can do is plug the FAA route into FSRoute. If you have any SIDs/STARs you have to plug each fix on the procedure into it. Timothy Boger ZMP ATM!

J Jason Vodnansky 810003 Posted February 19, 2007 at 11:54 PM Posted February 19, 2007 at 11:54 PM What is unrealistic about flying direct??? I do it all the time in real life. If ATC wants me to do something else, then they can ask me. The shorter my flight, the bigger my profit! Jason Vodnansky 810003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
