Flight plan issue i.e. not showing after flight start

[JoshBear]

Hi All,

Would appreciate some help. I downloaded a few flight plans from simto put them in a folder and then loaded them from the world map section. The waypoints show up. But when I start the flight, (Start on runway) then the flights do not show on the VFR map. Why is that happening? Note the plane of choice was the spitfire.

Thanks

Josh

I have heard there is a bug with planes that don’t have a GPS or flight management system sometimes not picking up the defined flight plan on the VFR map. I can’t confirm this myself as I don’t use the VFR map and have disabled it (I use external mapping tools).

Are you sure about this GPS thing ? With Blériot it works…

Note: I made this plan with littlenavmap, saved it as .PLN, then I selected Blériot Gnome, loaded the .PLN, and click FLY

Do you have any add-ons in your Community folder? If yes, please remove and retest before posting. Community folder shouldn’t impact this, but I will remove and retest – and delete – if this impacts the issue. Are you using Developer Mode or made changes in it? No. Brief description of the issue: Plot a flight from one place to another. Do that flight in an aircraft without GPS. Example: Spitfire, m339 Exit to the main menu. Now, plot a flight from the same departure to another. It will…

Yeah, that’s the thread I was thinking of (couldn’t find the link earlier).

Ok I added my procedure… it was very basic… no changing waypoints or destination, just load and fly works for Blériot Gnome. I suppose a 1909 aircraft will not communicate with satellites

Thanks all,

Will give all that a go.
