Wilco A320 + FMC issue

[raddragon]

I have an issue with the wilco plane and it recognising "airways" when i key them into the FMC. One example is H384 out of NZAA and Y738 between NP and WN. The wilco a320 said waypoint unknown. Is there an update I need to do to make it read these "airways"? I have Navigraph AIRAC 1001. Any help would be appreciated.

I also have the Wilco A320 (FSX). I've never entered any airways - always load a complete route. Have you managed it *ever* - or is it just some that don't work?

I usually create a route (in Flightplanner or VRoute) then load it and go ... lazy!

Are you entering the airways from AA VOR or from NZAA?

The airways always start and finish at a known navigation aid or fix, not an airport itself. If you are doing this and the box is still not accepting then try and enter the airway to another fix on the same airway. If still no luck then its probably not in the nav database in which case you will have to try importing the FS flight plan or fly direct routings, routes on airways which are included and finally, send Navdata an email requesting the airways to be included in the next cycle.

I have attempted both ways described in the above posts - no luck. I began importing from Vroute, no more issues.
