Where to file the flight plan?

I've read that the flight plan should be filed both on https://cert.vatsim.net/fp/file.php and in XSquawkBox. Is this true? If so, is there an easy way to enter the flight plan into XSquawkBox? I can't paste text into the route field - I have to type the entire route in manually. Is this what other people do?

 

Also, if ATC requests that you change the flight plan and send it again, do they mean the one on https://cert.vatsim.net/fp/file.php or the one in XSquawkbox or both?

 

Best regards,

Steen

You can send it both ways. The URL is Prefiling (data will be stored for up to 2 hours and be connected to your callsign). If you send a revised flight plan via your pilot client later, it will overwrite the prefiling. Regarding your question on how to enter your route in xSquawkbox, I cannot help you, since I never used xPlane.

You use just one of the options to file the flightplan. As for pasting the route, I'm curious why it wouldn't work. It works fine for me (though I usually prefile on the web page).

I have never once used the pre-file page. Sending it through the pilot client only (whether vPilot, XSquawkBox, or other) is perfectly adequate.

Cheers,
