Thanks, that explains it, although it was not obvious to guess at.
In the meantime I had created a different version of the route using the BAMUR STAR instead of JATEN. It had resulted again in losing the CC points. However, after inserting “STAR” after BAMUR it worked – I recuperated all the lost waypoints.
You mention that “JATEN is the STAR, JJS is the transition”, however in the STARS list on the right, it is listed as JJR.JATEN. Hence the confusion.
When I said that “there is no JJS.JATEN STAR in the Navigraph charts”, I meant it is not in the Charts even though it is in the database; however that is Navigraph’s problem, not yours.
I have a suggestion for your next version of FSBuild. Currently, when we click on Build, it exports the plan to FSX and PMDG (or whatever was selected) and automatically assigns a name in the format OPKCVECC.PLN or OPKCVECC.RTE. If I then create a different version of the plan, using a different route or SID/STAR, or a different aircraft, it saves it under the same name, thus overwriting the original file, which I might have wanted to keep. Having noticed this, I work around the issue by immediately going into Windows Explorer and adding 001 or whatever after the original name, e.g. OPKCVECC001.RTE. My suggestion is for FSBuild to automatically add such as suffix number if it sees that a plan already exists between the same two airports. An alternate would be to request the user to assign a file name of his choice.
At any rate, thanks for your support. In spite of all my questions, as I use FSBuild, I find I like it more and more. It certainly will save me time over tweaking routes built in FSX and making them fit in the PMDG FMC.
