Title: PRO-ATCX and PMDG 777 not aligned
Post by: jwyman on 25 November, 2019, 00:52:37 AM

Hello,
I am running P3d V. 4.5 and using a PMDG 777 to fly from LIRF-KJFK...

I am using the latest AIRAC (1912) and have run Makerwys.exe from with my P3D folder and then executed the IMPORT function from with PRO-ATCX.

All seems to runs fine. During the APP phase of my flight I was directed to head to LLUND which is a fix NW of KJFK. However, LLUND appeared SE of KJFK on my 777 display. I am not sure where the issue lies, PRO-ATCX or the PMDG 777....

Attached is my log file....

ProAtcX aLso have the LLUND waypoint NW of KJFK

Image attached
a) LLUND waypoint
b) ProAtcX approach

If you turn to the CRDWF LLUND is now right side behind the plane and looks like SE of the plane !

I think you misunderstood me.. In PRO ATC-X, LLUND seems to appear in the correct place. However, on the FMC display within the 777 cockpit, LLUND appeared SE of JFK.. Again, don't think this is a PRO-ATC-X issue but maybe an import issue with PMDG 777. It appears that the PMDG is running the latest AIRAC 1912.

Jim,

at the moment you are the only one with such a problem.

Of course you have this PMDG 777 problem in the PMDG forum described.
What did the forum members answer?

ProAtcX is NOT the best place for such kind of problems :D

Thomas,
As i stated earlier, this was most likely not a PRO ATC-X issue. However, due to the number of users who use PRO ATC-X and other products for Flight sim, esp. PMDG products, someone may have had insights to the real cause and solution....esp when dealing with AIRAC updates , makerwys, etc.
