GFP format (Garmin TDS GTNxi for Xplane) locked waypoints

SimBrief General
1

Hello, I’m using the new TDS GTNxi for Xplane and there is a problem when importing Simbrief flightplan (waypaint ambiguous)
I’m flying from EGJB to LFRS, the Simbrief route is JSY REN NTS
Flightplan (gfp format) was downloaded with Simbrief Downloader.
File EGJB-LFRS.gfp contains: FPN/RI:F:EGJB:F:JSY:F:REN:F:NTS:F:LFRS

After importing into TDS GTNxi, waypoint NTS wasn’t recognized. (Locked Waypoint in TDS GTNxi)

I ask to TDSSim, there response is:

“We have looked into the issue and indeed if there are two waypoints with the same name, then the GTNXi will display a locked waypoint.
The second waypoint is a VRP named NTS as well. At this stage, according to the official GFP file format,
the best solution would be for SimBrief to also output the lat/lon of the waypoint, so it would be according to GFP file specs.”

Can you take into account this problem, which is likely to recur in many flightplans?

Thanks

Hi, SimBrief already includes the coordinates for ambiguous waypoints.

However, I only see 1 NTS in our database, which is why SimBrief didn’t include coordinates. Is the TDS GTNxi also updated using Navigraph AIRAC data?

Best regards,
