Hi, I think the ATR only shows airfields in the FMC where the runway is long enough for its specifications.

4V0 shows a runway length of 6409 feet, that should be long enough.

Well that’s true :slight_smile: maybe they only have 4-letter ICAO codes in the database…

The database comes from MSFS. It’s the same one that all the built-in planes use. It should work with 4V0 but gives a format error. SimBrief is the first time I saw it called K4V0, and I was just attempting that as a potential solution. From my experiences using NavDataReader, it’s not called K4V0 in MSFS, so the NOT IN DATABASE message is perfectly reasonable.

Or it’s a top secret military base and our security clearances are not good enough :rofl:

I’m also just experiencing this. Seems like a fairly major bug to not be able to plan a flight to a 3-digit airfield. Any word on if this is being fixed or not?

Brief description of the issue:

When entering a new flight plan, the FMC of the ATR will state “Format error” when entering “smaller” airports, i.E. KSMO/L70. “Normal” flights are possible, i.E. KSMO/KLAX

yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

There seems to be no way to fly to T42. It shows up in the World Map, and shows up in Navigraph as well. It is impossible to input it into the FMS of the ATR however. I cannot even import it as part of a Simbrief flight plan.

Enter a FROM/TO route with an airport that is 3-digitits ( KTEX/P20 )

Fixed in 1.0.34
