Can you use flight plans generated in Skyvector in Xpilot. If so how.

xPilot has nothing to do with flight plans. Flight plans are filed separately to Vatsim and xPilot just needs the flight number.

I'm not sure I agree with "xPilot has nothing to do with flight plans"... 

However, the flight plan filing it is possible to do on SkyVector is for REAL-WORLD flights.  The best way I've found to bring a SkyVector plan into VATSIM is to open the Flight Plan window in xPilot and just copy-and-paste the route from SkyVector and file it right from the Pilot Client.

I'm not sure that's the answer you were hoping for, or that I answered exactly what you were asking -- but hopefully it helps. 

Cheers,

Ok, for whatever reason (perhaps because using Simbrief and filing from there) I have never used, nor seen xPilot flightplan window.

I stand corrected.
