Not sure which category this should be in so trying the General section.
When using Autoroute to set up a flight plan, the Autoroute is no longer aligning the in-flight route with any STARs for the arrival airport. Instead, I have to manually adjust the route so that it ends with an entry point to a STAR.
In the past, Autoroute would configure a route such that when I went to select a STAR in Arrival, Charts would give me a recommended STAR and a waypoint to enter the STAR. Now Charts just lists all STARs with no recommendation, and that is because the in-flight route Autoroute created no longer aligns with any STAR for the arrival airport.
I just started noticing this within the past week, and have had it when using Autoroute for arrival airports KLAX, KORD, KLAS, and may have seen this for ZGSZ, RJAA, YBBN, and others, I can’t quite remember when this started, certainly within the last week or two.
Example:
Using Autoroute for a flight KORD to KLAS results in: KORD DCT JOT J146 NOOTN DCT KLAS/26L
No STAR is aligned with waypoint NOOTN, and when I use ‘Set Arrival’ in Charts it doesn’t show a preferred STAR, just a list of all STARS.
I now have to manually add TYEGR to Charts’ flight plan so that ‘Set arrival’ will list a preferred STAR and STAR entry waypoint.
I don’t remember seeing a Charts update recently, so not sure what has changed. Currently running Charts 8.36.0 Build a4867f1, AIRAC is 2409.
