Waypoints thousands miles away

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue: flight plans (either auto-generated in EFB or imported from SimBrief) contains waypoints way out of a normal pathway

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

Almost every time

REPRODUCTION STEPS

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

  1. A) Free flight: generate a flight plan in SimBrief, import it in EFB OR B) Career mode: choose a mission

  2. In MCDU occurs waypoints way far from the normal pathway (thousands miles away) while in EFB flightplan (map mode), these abnormal waypoints have normal positions (although with distinctive red-wheel symbols)

Please add a screenshot or video of the issue occurring.

Don’t forget to vote for your own bug. I think it is because some waypoints have names that exist in 2 or more places that are the same. I am not sure if this is an Asobo fix or an AI problem? Only way around this for now is to double check every waypoint in CDU. Diffcult if there are no LAT/LONG but click through your course on MFD (you probably already do this in which case it is something else entirely). :slightly_smiling_face:

I know in career mode whole missions end because we are ā€œToo far off trackā€. It sounds like the same problem.

Thank you for answering. I also think that the cause will be the existence of 2 or more waypoints with the same name… I found out that there are 3 ways to find + delete these abnormal waypoints: in CDU, while checking the flight plan; in EFB, in the ā€œEnrouteā€ section, where they have distinct symbols, but normal distances; in EFB, on the map. :grinning_face:

Similar issue: EFB generating extremely out of the way flight plan. Could they be the same ?

Sorry, not the same…
