I am probably not the only one who has had to reroute a flight plan to London due to the change in waypoints and airways that go directly over LHR with a STAR that replaced the BEDE1Z and BEDE1H STARs at LHR. This STAR is known as the SIRIC1H. But as some us very well know the UK airspace on Infinite Flight is still using the old waypoints from the old airways before the hack that happened in the UK back in the beginning of 2023.
Now if you try to add the waypoints from the new airways manually or through the search bar in the sim you will notice that the sim doesn’t recognize the new waypoints. This is because the sim is still using those old waypoints from the before the hack. But what if i told you there is still a way to add those airways into the sim. This requires a Simbrief account linked to your Infinite Flight account, knowledge of the new airways or access to flightradar24’s high altitude navaids settings.
Step 1: Link your simbrief account to your Infinite Flight account.
Step 2: Go to flightradar24 and note down the airways you want to use with the starting and ending waypoints of each airway. You can also skip this entirely and get a flight plan from a real life flight from RadarBox. In this case I will be using a flight plan I grabed BA172 which uses the new airways that lead over LHR from the west.
Step 3: Copy the fully maped out flight plan that you got from your notes or an existing flight.
Step 4: log into Simbrief and put in the route and the airframe.
Step 5: Scroll down to where it shows the analyze flight plan button and replace the current flight plan with the one you copied from your notes or an IRL flight from RadarBox
Step 6: Once you paste your flight plan into the text box from the last step hit “analyze route”. If it shows up red adjust your flight plan to meet Simbrief standards. Once it meets the standards it will show you the all clear in green.
Step 7: Hit Generate flight plan and then once it generates load up Infinite Flight
Step 8: Once you load into Infinite Flight go to your flight planning panel and load up Simbrief flight plan
If you follow all of thess steps you should be able to generate fully realistic flight plans.
Here is the waypoints to the new western airways and the new STAR at LHR on infinite flight and Flightradar24’s high altitude navaids.
I hope this helps
