curt1 23 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I've been enjoying the CRJ a lot, to the point that I've ignored things that I didn't think were right but was too lazy to report. I decided to go ahead and check with you regarding custom waypoints. I'm attaching a photo that is self-explanatory. There was no discontinuity on the MCDU, and the aircraft did fly to the Macin waypoint, but as you see no white line connecting the two, and the miles are way wrong as you see. Thanks for looking into it. Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Hans Hartmann 3695 Posted December 1, 2018 Developer Share Posted December 1, 2018 It will get looked at today. I'll shorten the names to 3 + number then as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Hans Hartmann 3695 Posted December 3, 2018 Developer Share Posted December 3, 2018 I looked into this, but I couldn't reproduce this specific situation. Can you give me the complete flight plan and the definition of the MACIN01 custom waypoint (e.g. MACIN180/10) please? @Propane: I made the 3 + number change.

curt1 23 Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hans, I don't recall the exact bearing/distance I used during that flight, so I just loaded up the same flight plan and created a custom waypoint from "Quote". My scratchpad entry was Quote270/10 and it created a custom waypoint as shown. The MCDU doesn't show a discontinuity, but it exists on the ND. I've attached a picture of this, along with my saved pilot route that may help. By the way, there are also times when I want to create a custom waypoint from a VOR, but in doing so I get a "Not Found" in yellow. The VOR is in the flight plan already, so I don't know why it doesn't recognize it for custom waypoints. Please login to display this image.

Developer Hans Hartmann 3695 Posted December 4, 2018 Developer Share Posted December 4, 2018 OK, this pretty much answers my question. I wanted to know if you created a PBD or another type of waypoint. I will try again now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
