Today I'm trying to fly "KBOS SID BRUWN DCT SEY DCT RIFLE DCT CYN DCT VCN STAR KPHL". I tried with and without DCT, leaving out some waypoints, leaving out all of the waypoints and submitting simply direct "KBOS SID BRUWN DCT VNC STAR KPHL", or adding any of the waypoints in between the SID and STAR terminal waypoints, none of it works. It always just says "Segment error" (whatever the segment happens to be) no matter what I try. Anyone got any ideas pls ?
I have the same problem. So I choose the route given from ATC (I don't know from where it comes) and on FMC I give in RWY's SID and STAR from my "simBrief" briefing. Some how it works but sometimes I had to add fixes from SID and STAR charts. Again I am pretty sure that there is a DCT problem not allowing to "jump" over from one fix to another as they are not on the same airway....
Today I'm trying to fly the same route, slightly modified, which also doesn't work :
KBOS SID BRUWN DCT SEY DCT HTO J121 BRIGS STAR KPHL
It doesn't work with or without the DCTs. It says "BRUWN SEY HTO Segment error". Isn't the problem the fact that there are 2 SEY waypoints in the DB and Xlife can't figure out which of those I mean since it's DCT in and DCT out so no airway to go by ? As I asked earlier - how does it work with Xlife when there are multiple waypoints of the same name in the DB ? It seems to me that this might be culprit.
You are right, it doesn't work when DCTs are needed. It never worked without putting DCT between fixes. On some occasions it works if you put in only one fix between SID and STAR. It works with some and not with others. No idea why.
For the Simbrief FP KBOS SID PATSS DCT NELIE STAR KEWR
KBOS SID NELIE STAR KEWR worked last time I tried but KBOS SID PATSS STAR KEWR doesn't work. Also I can load the complete FP into the A320/330 FMGC and it works for navigating but I cannot read that FP from the AC into XL without getting an error.
When you look at FPs generated by XL the always have jetways connected by fixes and no DCTs so it looks that is what is required for now: DEP_Apt SID FIX Jetway FIX Jetway FIX STAR DEST_Apt
I'm sure it'll get fixed sometime.
