Flight Plan disappears from CDU just prior to Approach
-
Has happened several times now - getting close to where you would normally switch to approach mode the entire flight plan disappears, between last flight plan waypoint and IAF.
MSFS 2024 SU2, one of the base liveries.
Ideas?
Other than that, totally loving the Starship.

This might sound like a strange question, but how did that flight plan get there? Did you enter it manually?
Also, where does it disappear from? Like it was deleted from everything? Just the course on the ND? Just the progress page on the MFD? I've never seen anything like that.

Manual entry, totally deleted from the CDU and flight guidance on EFIS - was going into KLGB

Are you using ATC in 2024? I’ve seen it change the flight plan on me.

Think it has happened with stock ATC and with SayIntentions

Using an IFR flight plan with ATC in MSFS 2024 can absolutely disrupt your FMS flight plan. For example, I've had certain waypoints entered, and when ATC assigned an approach and arrival to me, it automatically swapped my FMS waypoints with their assigned ones (which caused issues). At this point of my testing with Starship 1.1 I believe if you want simple ATC, you simply select the departing and arriving airport in a minimal VFR plan and start a flight with that. I also plan to do a few more flights by starting with a simple EFB-created IFR flight plan with only departure/arrival airport, request IFR clearance and see if I can preserve my flight plan all the way. I use the Simbrief EFB app to create my flight plan, but copy/paste all values manually into the aircraft, never importing it. When ATC assigns an approach to you it's likely that you'll still have to fix things, but most of the flight should be fine. I hope version 1.2 will guard against such flight plan injections from ATC.
