Unable to add custom waypoints..

[vnangli]

I was doing the test flight from KORD to KMKE. I took off from KORD and did RTE entry in the FMC during flight. Chose 07R for landing, no TRANS.

IAF was BONOT. 

I tried to create CUSTOM WPTs before BONOT using RADIAL/DISTANCE method. Continuously got “NOT IN DATABASE” message. Is this a limitation of the 737 NGs FMC or has it (creating custom waypoints) not been modeled in IXEG’s FMC??

It has not been modeled - yet.

We list it in this post (which has been up since before we started selling the 737), I continuously update it when we fix and add stuff. I even add more to it, like the lack of a dedicated VRconfig file, because that wasn´t even available when we started selling the plan 5 years ago.

I should have known about that earlier. Thank you for sharing this information.

IXEG is keeping me busy and am a very happy with the updates...It surely did fix one issue of mine. With the immediate previous version, IXEG had to be the very first plane I had to load to properly open it whenever I started Xplane 11. For e.g, if I opened default 737 first as soon as I started Xplane and then tried to open IXEG there would be errors. Now thats gone...

Thank you team IXEG

I will say, I was VERY close to squeezing in custom waypoints to this release...indeed it was one of the features I wanted to have some success on....so that folks will know we are workingon FMS improvements.  We are bugfixing for the next release asap...and I will AGAIN try to get these in.  I have lots of code added for these already, but just need to weave it into the flight plan data.
