FSCommander 9 problems.

Another one, FSCommander.

When I try to make a high or low altitude cross-ocean flightplan, I get stuff like this (see pictures)...

So I use waypoint-to-waypoint option. My version is 9.6.

AFAIK no RNAV over the pond. You use NorthAtlanticTracks (NATrack) instead. FSC9 can do this no problem, just use the "Tracks" menu.

Got it. I see tracks, but how do I select and add it to the flight plan?

If I recall correctly, you right click the waypoint that begins the track and it will put in the whole track in, then you continue the rest of the route.

It's in the manual. \Aerosoft\FSC9\DOCS\FSC.PDF chapter 16:

 

Enter departure and arrival ICAO in the flight plan window. Display the tracks. Look for one you like and find the small red circle on it. Right click the red circle, then left click the track's name in the popup menu. You then have the track in your flightplan. Then you click the departure airport in the flightplan and press "high altitude plan" - FSC calculates a high alt plan until the start of the track. Then you select the last waypoint of the track and repeat "high alt plan" - FSC adds a high alt plan from the track to your destination. Add SID and STAR if you like and you are done. (high alt is just an example. The others work too)

 

Bear in mind that NAT don't work like you would expect when coming from RNAV. It can happen that at a given time of day planes may fly only in one direction over the pond, no wild cris-crossing allowed. When you load the NATs you will see small arrows, in which direction they go at the present moment.
