How can I get the FS9 Air Traffic Controller (ATC) to reconize the flight plan I loaded via the 737Ng FMC?At present I can only get the ATC to assign a departure runway, and when nearing the destination airport, I can request landing permission from the ATC. I have been unable to get the ATC to follow my FMC flight plan and guide me throughout the fligt.Thanks. Stanner

There are several techniques to accomplish this. Do an advanced search for this as this keeps popping up at times.Hope it helps,

yep, search the forum - very clear answers on thisalso, search the file library for a freeware program calle PLN2RTE, it will help

Stanner,This is so easy if you have a program called 'FSnav'.http://www.fsnavigator.com/index.htmThis program will plot your flight plan AND export it to the GPS in FS9. You can load export it also into the FMC of the '737'. To find it all you need to do is to look under 'Flight Plans within the FMC to enter all the details, flight levels, speeds, the lot! FSnav does all this for you. Its free for your first twenty flights then you have to cough up the cost of the program but, it is very good value for money.You then 'Load' the flight plan, stored in your flight plan folder and the FS9 ATC will accompany you from start to finish! So simple and great to listen too.But as said, your destination arrival runway won't be available until you are within around 50 miles of your destination. ATC will vector you to the arrival runway until you capture the 'ILS' for that runway.Make sure you have the ILS frequency programmed into your 'Nav-1' radio for this.Wonderful hobby this!Dave.ASUS KT333 M/Board, Radeon9800Pro128mb, 1024DDR, ATI xp2400+CPU, 80 gb HDD
