December 20, 200322 yr Is anyone having the same difficulty as I am having getting Active Radar to accept and load an FS9 flight plan? I use the dialogue presented by the Plan display's MSFS button to select the same flight plan with which I loaded FS9 and ActiveSky (no problem with either of those), hit the Update All button and - nada. No Departure, arrival or enroute data is presented; just a stubborn "Flight plan not loaded" message in the tracking panel. I removed lat/long fixes from the plan thinking that their presence might be the problem, but that didn't work either. Radar seems to work. The fact that one has to go through two flight plan load procedures is klunky, but both procedures should work.NormPentium 4 2.6 Ghz500 meg RDRAMRadeon 9600 pro
December 20, 200322 yr Norm,Sorry you are having trouble. Are your plans original FS plans or 3rd party plans?Steps:On Planning Screen, click on MSFS. Yes, I know you did this!Open dialog box should be on the screen.Browse to plan in My Documents.Double click on plan.Plan waypoints should pop into the Planning screen. Update loads the weather.If this doesn't do it then please post back.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Support
December 20, 200322 yr Hi Jim,I've had the same problems mentioned above (although even in rain, I didn't get any echos on the radar, but that's likely because as far as the radar was concerned, I didn't have a plan loaded).My flight plan was originally made in FSNav then exported to the FS9 flight planner. I then loaded the plan in FS9, then started AS2004 and loaded the flight plan in that window. Lastly I tried to load the plan in the radar using the method you listed above (and using the documentation), but I too kept getting the message saying no flight plan loaded.If there is any further info I can provide, let me know, otherwise I'll just monitor this thread to see what develops.Thanks guys!
December 20, 200322 yr Hi, I had the same problem,I use fsbuild which does not load into activeradar but loads into ac2004,You have to load your flight plan from (fsbuild or navigator) into fs9 and then resave it, it then loads in active radarHope this helpsDarren
December 20, 200322 yr I had this problem to. What you have to do is if the plan was made with fsnav. or nav3.1 after you export it to fs9 you have to open the flight planner in fs9 and save the plan again. It will then load into the radar. hope this helps keith
December 20, 200322 yr OK, thanks. I got it to work tonight and it seems fine. Now I have a bit more troubleshooting to do on another possible issue, but will wait until I can figure it out to see if it is AS2 or something totally different.Thanks for the assist!Glenn
December 20, 200322 yr A post in this thread recommended the correct 'fix' for the Active Radar plan no-load problem. The plan was exported from FSNav - as so many are. If I load the plan into FS9 and then resave it, then the ActiveRadar plan load dialogue works.Thanks to whomever came up with this fix...Norm
