Nice to hear from you also.  So when I am in the cockpit again I will find a couple routes that do this drawing to infinity and back.  I check these routes in my ForeFlight and they all are in the correct location.  I add them into the "Legs" page of the FMC and the white lines draw correctly.  I then "Execute" and magenta lines either disappear or draw funny.  Yet I know the WP's are correct.  I will flip on the "data" on the ND and see what those show.

I've never enter a WP in the Nav Data page.  I always just use the Legs page once I know that the WP are valid using my live ForeFlight.

Will get back to you with concrete example and what happens.  I will search out some of these and try to see distances and see what I can.

Thanks,
Scott

I would use the RTE (Route Page for the Flightplan)  Not the Legs page..  Airway on the left and Waypoints on the right.

Try re-entering your flight plan through the RTE Page next time and let me know if it does the same.

Departure Airport, Arrival Airport (Enter Depart/Arrivals for each) Then go into the RTE page (Next Page takes you down, and enter the route..

Try this process instead of through the legs page.  I think you will have more success.

That page is for reference only (checking frequency and or coordinates) not for entering route data.

FSUIPC will just go in the new directory modules folder and it will just work. 

In MSFS things are way different LOL.

I update the navdata on all my GC machines, as well as the FMC.  So you are doing the right thing there.

I hope you can get this solved.

Trev

So not real sure why I get these weird magenta lines that run off into infinity and then return back to my next WP.

Hi Scott
Runs to infinity and back because in the Sim database the previous WP you have entered is located elsewhere on the planet far away and not where it should be.
Enter that WP in the NAV DATA page and check the coordinates, you will see that it is way out of your route.
So, either you simply suppress it or you create it in the route legs with the correct coordinates (see Map) under the format N...W... and it will show on the ND as Wpt1.

Hi Trevor,

Nice to see you still around.  I will give the pmFileCheck tool a go next time I am in.  Had forgotten about it.  Interesting after reading the MagentaDoc that I am NOT getting any errors on either FMC.  They both talk to each other and see fuel, V-Speed, flaps and airport OK.  No "network error" or "fail" messages on FMC's.

Somewhere before my time on this sim, someone started putting the NAV update stuff not just in NetDir but actually inside each install on the GC. Both Capt & F/O directories.  When I update the nav data, I do the same because didn't know any better.

So not real sure why I get these weird magenta lines that run off into infinity and then return back to my next WP.  Again still using old versions so will go grab current versions depending on what I see with pmFileCheck.  I don't want to go changing too much at once.

I am still on Win7 because the cockpit hardware is so old now.

Any coaching on installing fresh P3D into another directory so as to not screw up the current install?  Any directories I need to watch out for? 

Do I need to reinstall FSUIPC on new install or can I just move the current install into the new "modules" directory and it will fire up normally?

Thank you as always and hope all is well...
Scott

https://www.cockpitbuilders.com/index.php?topic=8478.new#new

I am going to build a remote display unit version, so you have a 2 1/4" gauge in the panel to setup the force feedback system.
And an updated firmware to work with MSFS.

Video with a example system driven by this unit:

Ok this is incredible....  

I am gob-smacked...  I don't even know what to say.  I would love to integrate this into my real airframe.  But I am sure it wouldn't be easy to make it fit..

I have got to say though...  This is the coolest stuff I have seen in a long time.

Congratulations.

Trev

Well,

After a painful amount of hours getting the sim updated, I have run into some snags.  But all is progressing.  Looking forward to cleaning up a bunch of my LUA Code and trying out some new things...  

Anyway...  After Worldflight, I may look at revisiting my display system...

Its been far too long of a break...

Cant wait to post more updates.

Long time no hear say outta me, but I do check in from time to time....
Gotta say I'm glad to see WF Team getting back together. May I ask where and whose sim? Is it still at Sam's place?

Kind Regards,

John

Hi John,

Yes still at Sam's in Sarasota.  Great to hear you are still doing well.  Looking forward to getting back into the annual routine.

Trev

Hey John,

Yes, Karen and I are both building Lego sets. Here is our YT Channel, you can see how many we have now. LOL, another adventure of my OCD thing...like the sim was, the guitars were, the camping and fishing gear before that...etc, etc...

Hope all is well with everyone on the CB website....

John
