I've used route finder to get a general flight plan from BIAP to Andrews, but I've yet to find an easy way to create an FS2004 pln file from this to load into a CLS DC-10-30. I'd like to simulate a "big bird home" flight. Can someone help me out?

If you want a regular FS2004 .pln file, just go to SimRoutes, plug the route in via "Generate Route," and then in the "Dispatch" section, select "FS2004" and "Download flightplan."Hope this helps.Zach

Hmm, odd. Try this: http://fsroute.com/default.asp.I checked ORBI and it recognized it as Baghdad.Zach

Awesome! I had been using SimRoutes up until now. I'll add that site to my planning collection.Thanks!

No problem. I discovered that little gem a few weeks ago, when SimRoutes was down. Great for converting routes into files.Zach

Yeah. Like SimRoutes, it looks like fsroute also uses antiquated Navigraph data sets. I wonder if it's just too much of a pain to update or the fees for using the data is too high?in any event, for those of you who wanted a flight plan from ORBI to KADW:DELMI ASNOT ELEXI DRZ W4 ALE UB402 NISAP UM861 BELSU UA17 BAG UW75 DEREL UL602 NERDI UP984 DEGET UL851 SUBES UL610 BATTY UL608 DENUT UL610 LAM UL179 CPT UL9 MALOT 53N020W 53N030W 52N040W 50N050W KOBEV YQX YYG J573 ENE V106 VEERS V205 TRESA V157 IGN J37 GANDE J77 SAX J6 BWZ J77 PTW V403 BELAY V378 TRISHThat's what I wound up with. I've attached the pln file as well. (FL360)

I'm betting it's the fees. Navigraph is pretty expensive, especially to update every AIRAC cycle.Zach
