Hi, just was planning a tiny exercise flight (EDDC to EDDP) with ARR RWY 8L.
However, none of the SimBrief suggested routes contained the suitable STAR MAXE2M even though it is existing in the AIRAC2510. Any idea why or am I assuming wrong?
Btw. the screenshot of the SimBrief suggested route (eurocontrol) shows a IMO absurd route which is also confusing me.

The suggested routes, none with the STAR MAXE2M
MAXEB is not on any airway and there are no directs listed in the Route Availability Document to/from this waypoint that would enable any connectivity to MAXEB from anywhere, as far as I can tell. I somewhat doubt it’s possible to find a CFMU-valid route from EDDC to EDDP that connects via MAXEB. And even trying it out for curiosity:
Real flights on this route seem to file one of the following:
KOBUS Z220 BEBKU T950 LUXBO
https://www.edi-gla.co.uk/flightplan/347218
https://www.edi-gla.co.uk/flightplan/357316
OSKAN M748 BOLBO L986 MAG Z20 KENIG T959 KOJEC
https://www.edi-gla.co.uk/flightplan/386924
Both of which pass CFMU validation.
It’s possible they get shortcuts or vectors from air traffic control, due to e.g. the sharp turn at KOBUS relative to the SID’s final leg.
Regards,
Tim
Struggling a bit to really understand tbh.
I was just thinking simply….that for other airports, simbrief normally generates routes with RWY-suitable SID and STAR…but in case of EDDP it didnt "know“ the STAR, even though they exist in the AIRAC. Or maybe it’s just because the count of suggested routes is limited
MAXEB is not plannable with EuroControl Tim as it is a nightime transition assigned by ATC only.
