January 11, 200917 yr JD,I haven't used RC4.3 for awhile been flying low and slow.I know at one time if I saved a flight in FSX when I restarted it I also had RC.I can't figure out how I did it.Could you please give me a brief step by step on what I do if I just save it in FS?I read in the manual where I can do this but could not find out how.Thanks for your patience.Ron Bring back Chief Illiniwek!University of Illinois.

January 12, 200917 yr Author OK,I think that is my problem.Will give it a go tonight.Should be snowed in with below zero temps by then.Thanks again,Ron\OK<That solved the problem.My confusion was trying to load RC saved flight at the Free Flight menu.I can load a saved FS flight at this point but not from RC.FS has to be in the "Fly Now" mode.Instructions are a little vague on this.Works fine now.Thanks for the help.Ron Bring back Chief Illiniwek!University of Illinois.

The RCD file does not seem to be in the .flt/.wx path but the .flt and .wx files are there for this test flight and others. I created a log and have sent it to you (rcv4- 20090204.log). I did the following:1. I started FSX.2. I started RC and hit debug.3. I loaded the FP in RC.4. I listened to RC ATIS/weather5. I saved the flight with ";"6. Listened to RC ATIS/weather again7.
