Chris Boswall 994813 Posted February 24, 2008 at 03:06 PM Posted February 24, 2008 at 03:06 PM I've been having issues with the flight plans that I have downloaded from Simroutes.com. The plans for FS9 don't seem to come up when I load them into the FS( flight planner. However, there's not problem with the ones for SB3 or FSINN. I tried rebooting my machine, restarting the sim and redownloading the .PLN file. anyone else experiencing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you try "My Docomeents\Flight Simulator Files"? For Vista the directory would be different. -- L. James -- L. D.

James [email protected] www.apollo3.com/~ljames Yeah I put it in the C:\Docomeents and Settings\\My Docomeents\Flight Simulator Files directory installed by FS9 during the setup. That's where I've always put the files. When I load in Fs9, that's the directory that pops up by default. It's funny, because I look a the file structure and it looks to be the same as all the other PLN files, even the ones the FS9 creates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you put the text from the downloaded *.pln file in a message as in: ---------------------- begin ---------------------------- [flightplan] title=KLAX to KSFO description=KLAX, KSFO type = IFR routetype = 3 cruising_altitude=0 departure_id=KLAX, N33* 56.55', W118* 24.48', +000126.00 destination_id=KSFO, N37* 37.14', W122* 22.49', +000013.00 departure_name=Los_Angeles_International destination_name=San_Francisco_Intl waypoint.0=KLAX, A, N33* 56.55', W118* 24.48', +000000.00, waypoint.1=RZS, V, N34* 30.57', W119* 46.26', +000000.00, VTU5 waypoint.2=PEGRS, I, N35* 18.77', W120* 39.39', +000000.00, J501 waypoint.3=ZONAL, I, N35* 28.16', W120* 49.90', +000000.00, J501 waypoint.4=BSR, V, N36* 10.88', W121* 38.53', +000000.00, BSR2 waypoint.5=CARME, I, N36* 27.31', W121* 52.78', +000000.00, BSR2 waypoint.6=ANJEE, I, N36* 44.78', W121* 57.89', +000000.00, BSR2 waypoint.7=SKUNK, I, N37* 00.46', W122* 01.99', +000000.00, BSR2 waypoint.8=BOLDR, I, N37* 10.25', W122* 04.57', +000000.00, BSR2 waypoint.9=MENLO, I, N37* 27.82', W122* 09.22', +000000.00, BSR2 waypoint.10=KSFO, A, N37* 37.14', W122* 22.49', +000000.00, BSR2 ------------------------ end ------------------------- I'll see if it will work on my machine. I've never had a problem with loading the files. I even use notepad to customize the plans and proceed to load them into Flight Simulator. -- L. James -- L. D.

Larry James 901346 Posted February 25, 2008 at 02:26 AM Posted February 25, 2008 at 02:26 AM Chris. There seems to be a problem with the flight plan. I was trying to figure out what it was, but so far I can't. It very closely resembles all the FS9 flight plans I have both from having personally created and edited, created with FS9 and exported from simroutes.com. It's a mystery to me that it doesn't work. -- L. James -- L. D.

Chris Boswall 994813 Posted February 25, 2008 at 02:30 AM Author Posted February 25, 2008 at 02:30 AM Well thanks for trying anyway. Perhaps a waypoint isn't recognized or something. Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
