Your flight plan is in the format SID WAYPOINT AIRWAY WAYPOINT ... WAYPOINT AIRWAY WAYPOINT STAR. You stick the SID and STAR in the DEP ARR section of the FMC, first and last respectively. You press the ROUTE button to do the rest.

Press ROUTE and then NEXT PAGE, enter your airway on the LEFT after inputting the SID in the DEP ARR page, followed by the next waypoint on the RIGHT. Airway left, waypoint right. Airway left, waypoint right... Once you're done, go to DEP ARR and whack the STAR in for your arrival airport.

I would sugest you update your AIRAC cycle.

i taked another route
EMED1B EMEDA B17 VELOX W13 SOLIN
and it says "Your route is valid for AIRAC 1603!"
this is what u mean?

Sometimes the standard Airac that comes with x-plane is buggy so you can update these navigation files frm navigraph.

You don't have a STAR with that route. Check your landing runway - Sometimes it's not designed for landing (EHAM 36L, EDDF 18, 36).

Waypoints are usually names without numbers, airways are usually 2-4 letters and numbers, and STARs will always be at the end of your flight plan that use the last waypoint, with an additional number and letter. SIDs also use the first waypoint and a letter and number.

Better off just creating a flight plan here https://www.simbrief.com/system/dispatch.php

then download it as x-plane FMS and load it into the FMC...

1. create flight plan
2. download/export it as x-plane fms file to windows: \x-plane\output\fms plans as "plan.fms" for example...
3. load into zibo fms by typing in "plan" and clicking on COMPANY ROUTE.

sorry, this is a basic guide haha.

The website will also give you an excellent idea on how flightplans are structured :)

i dont wanna do it like that... its unreal
what i did is looked at the flight route on simbrief and entered it into the sim FMC.
but the problem is, for example the website says XYZ for the SID, and on the FMC it shows XYG something like that... not exactly the waypoint or airway the website shows
where is the most realistic flight planning website?
ty!

+-- As he said!!!

You are getting differences and issues because X-plane comes with an older AIRAC cycle and you are working off the latests when you go online to flight plan.

There are non-online flight planners that will read the AIRAC you have installed in X-Plane and use it instead. That will give you plans that better match what you can enter in the FMS.

Plan-G http://www.tasoftware.co.uk/
And

Little Navimap https://albar965.github.io/index.html both do this.

I prefer the latter because it displays SIDs and Stars during planning and let's you link the transitions to your flight plan by dragging and dropping points. It is the only planner that I have seen which does this.

Did I mention that BOTH are FREE.

thats the problem
but how do i do that?

[BirdDog]

Buy a cycle at navigraph.com download for each plane you need and use the code for simbrief to get same airac.

simbrief is a online flightplanning tool which you cost nothing.
