Is there a proram that will convert my PIC FMS flight plans into an FMS S.B. flight plan for filing with VATSIM?

Yep - FSBuild available at http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/a...er1/fsbmain.htm - will port f/p's for almost every FS add-on. DS CVA3339 / UKD149http://vatsim.pilotmedia.fi/statusindicato...tor=OD1&a=a.jpg

FS Build has some issues with making Flight Plans though.....10000 nm fileplans to go from ATL-JFK(i think, if not this route, then routes of similar size, shoot, of any size you can get the 1000 nm flight plan). Double, triple waypoints, of the same name and in the same spot. In the middle of an airway routing, you get a direct-to waypoint. And I can't get it to build a route I insert into the route field. Granted, I am probably entering the route wrong :) Now, don't get me wrong, FS Build is the only flight planner I use, and it is freeware, so I am extremely grateful that I can use this tool. It is a shame that FS Build 2.0 is going to be payware :-8 :-shy

>It is "a shame" that FS Build 2.0 is going to be payware I think "a shame" may be too strong a term, did you mean this ?I can understand you would prefer 2.0 remain freeware, but your choice of words seem to imply there's something morally wrong with going payware.Regards.Ernie.

Ernie,I'm ready and willing to shell out the shekels (as Ian Elchitz says), my friend.And I got morals, no shame, and the Canucks in 6.DS CVA3339 / UKD149http://vatsim.pilotmedia.fi/statusindicato...tor=OD1&a=a.jpg

Ernie,You are taking my words the wrong way. There is of course nothing wrong with FS Build 2.0 being payware. There is certainly nothing 'morally wrong.' All that I meant was that it was 'too bad'(I think that is less powerful language) that I would have to pay for FS Build 2.0.:-beerchug

Hi,I would be more than happy to pay for version 2 of FSBuild. This as a recognition for the great work the developpers have made in the past for the previous versions and for the development of version 2.Can you guys tell me where I can already place an order for version 2?CheersMichael
