ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

The avionics on the aircraft does not receive the flight plan that has been defined in the EFB at Free Flight.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?

100% of the times

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Free Flight

  2. Set LIML as departure and LEPA as arrival (runway or parking not important)

  3. Open EFB

  4. Press the button: FIND Route

  5. Modify the route automatically defined by entering the following route string: LIML TOVS6J TOVSA DCT ITCAP M858 UNITA RIXOT RIX03M LEPA

  6. Save (web or PLN not important) and send to ATC and AVIONICS

  7. Press the option key to start the flight

  8. Enter aircraft, start batteries, start avionics and look at the avionics computer

  9. Initialize position and look the NO FLIGHT PLAN message

  10. Press the FLPLN button and look at the missing destination

  11. Press the LEGS button and see the plan that is interrupted at page 2 at ITCAP waypoint while the is much longer

  12. Open the EFB and check that the plan is fully loaded there

  13. In the EFB resend it to ATC and AVIONICS and control in the CJ4 computer nothing is changed

I noticed exactly the same problem on my CJ4. Any ideas how to solve it?

No actually the only solution is to enter manually the flight plan directly into the CJ4 avionics … That’s very annoying especially for long plans but unless they find a way to solve it, that’s it. I can only say that in the Pilatus PC-12 and other aircraft this issue does not happen. … And yesterday for the very first time I bought a new aircraft the PC-24 which also does not present the issue. It’s a pity because I liked a lot the CJ4 but …

Same here.

Just spent 6 million and cant use the plane … :smiley:

5

This normally happens to me if I forget to switch from VFR to IFR its the 2nd or 3rd down left side of the EFB. For some reason the EFB is only selecting VRF

Hey there, sorry to hear you’re experiencing such issues. Have you tried a different route to see if that results in the same road block?

It seems there’s an issue with quite a few avionics in the sim where they are broken/interrupted by any airways. The Working Title team seemed able to help Hans resolve this issue for the new ATR, so they may need to take a look at their own avionics here to do the same. Not sure why it would have broken suddenly though, as I’m fairly certain it used to handle those imports just fine.

As a note, I’ve been able to reproduce this behavior in multiple Proline aircraft, including the CJ4 and the P.180.

Seems as if this may be fixed in today’s SU6 beta release!

9

It’s dependent on the length of the route. Longer routes are truncated shorter ones are ok

10

Wow! Su6 beta means a couple of months away for real deployment I guess

It’s a pity because the plane is nice and bit more difficult to use than the Pilatus pc-24 which I bought. The Pilatus at least has the flight plan complete.
