hi alli am trying to use a flightplan for this 737 from Ernies program, however when i go to the Routes Page on the FMC and then type in KJFKKPHX and press the LSK 2L i get a message on the FMC saying "Not in database" "Program Error".I have the .rte file in the FS9/PMDG/Flightplans directory.Help!

anyone???

Clayton,Can you see the flightplan on the ND? I had this message for a while, but I just cleared it and was still able to load and execute the FP.

no i dont see any flight plans, i just do a fresh load of FS then go to the 737 and then i type in the relevant file name, but it comes with that error.

my experience with FSBuild is short but my generated .pln and .rte files have a dash so try KJFK-KPHX (use the +/- button).Hope that helps!Mike

thanks for that, but when i go to the relevant directory, PMDGfileplans, there are in there, but when i try to execute it on the FMC it says "cannot be found"or something to that effect.

Clayton,Two questions:Are you entering the departure airport on the POS INIT page first?And, do you have the latest Airac cycle (0308) installed in FS9FMCWPNavData?If this is OK, I guess you have trouble with the FSB data...

hi Andrew,well to the first one, NO, so i am gonna reboot FS9 now and do that and get back to you.

hiwell can you tell me where i find POS INIT? There is a button called INIT REF on the FMC.

Hi Clayton,When you bring up the FMC first time, press POS INIT on the lower right. Then enter your Departure airport ICAO code, and press LSK2L. Then go to the RTE page and try to load your flightplan.Not shure if this helps, but it is worth a try...

hi Andrew, I tried that, but it did not work.:-(

This may be a silly question, but under FSBuild 1.4.3 did you put a checkmark in the PMDG737NG box before building the fp?Assuming you did, let's move forward and see if this helps. I use FSBuild all the time and have had good luck with it. I've attached a PMDG737NG flightplan to this forum msg. Put that in your directory and see if anything changes for you. I want to determine if its the PMDG side causing your issue or the FSBuild side.

hican you email me this flightplan please to [email protected] will put it in the relevant folder and tell you how it went.

>hi>>can you email me this flightplan please to [email protected]>>i will put it in the relevant folder and tell you how it>went.>No problem. It's done. :)

hi!thanks i got your email and i also put it in the directory, and it worked!So it must be something with FSBuild, maybe i should reinstall FSBuild and see what happens.
