I am considering to switch to SD from another flight planning software since i need the IFR capability that is provided. My first attempt at importing a *.gpx flightplan validated through autorouter.eu seems very promising and i am thrilled by the prospect of easing my planning chores with this great product. (I am in trial mode right now)

It seems, however, that two of the airway intersections, whose existence was confirmed through autorouter.eu (ADSIN and BABAV in Germany), showed up in SD as user waypoints only. Looks like they are not present in SD´s database. During flight you often have to count on identifying intersections easily during an ATC reroute.
Question is: What is the currency status of this database with regard to intersections and what is the update cycle?

Those waypoints are sourced directly from Eurocontrol and updated every 28 days so should be absolutely valid.
I just took a look at AIP Germany and can confirm that ADSIN and BABAV do not exist as enroute waypoints.

Hm, strange. Autorouter.eu and eurofpl.eu both seem to know those intersections and even require them to get my route validated. Seems like AIP Germany and Eurocontrol work on different sets of data?
Anyway, thanks for consideration.
