Problem FMS direct to

[Dguy]

Never had this problem untill I recently updated IXEG B733. When selecting “direct to” the FMS seems to freeze, fps drops ( xp11 is excluded in security settings). Sometimes “not in database, although I lineselected from the legs page. Sometimes The fms accepts once a direct to , but not a second time. A pop up appears , with what is to me “greek/latin”. No problems with FF 757/767 or others.

I am rw pilot familiar with Boeing FMS’s.

Attached are some pics of the event, with the pop up. Any clues on what might be the cause.

Thank You for the quick response, since I was going to re-download and install. I’ll wait for the update. Btw. Love the product, alows me in my retirement to have a sentimental journey back in time.

Thanks for the kind words! We are really sorry for this inconvenience...but as long as you stay away from manually manipulating any waypoints/fixes with those "forbidden" letters you should be fine for now...

You can always "manually" make a company route and drop it into the "coroutes" folder, then load it from the RTE page. Just make a simple text file with an editor of your choice and change the filetype to .fpl.

Here is an example routing: EDDF ANEKI Y163 HERBI Y164 OLBEN DIRECT MONIN W112 SOSON EDDH
