rte or rt2... fsbuild confuses me

Featured Replies

I exported a flightplan with fsbuild (all settings are oke). When I typ in the name of the plan in the fmc (co-route), it always says that it is not in the database. In the pmdg folder, there is a .rte file of my plan, but not a .rt2, that is more common. What's the difference? The default routes that are delivered with the package, do work, even though it's a .rte file.Can fsbuild export .rt2 files? I read somewhere that it can, but I don't know how.Using fsbuild 2.2

Please sign your name to posts in this forum.Compare the co-route name with the .rte filename... should be the same without extension. Type aircraft?

Sorry, forgot to mention that I'm using the pmdg boeing 747-400.I saved as e.g. ehamegll.rte. When I put in ehamegll in the co-route, it claims not te be in the database.

The 737,744 and MD11 products read .rte and .rt2 just fine. FSBuild exports as .rte. You might want to check your spelling. Maybe the route is named EHAM-EGLL.rte and you forgot the dash between the two ICAO codes.Which option do you use to export the flightplan from FSBuild? Are you sure you have selected the MPDG 737/747 option?Have you asked in the FSBuild forum?

No, I'm really sure that my spelling is correct. Options and other settings are oke. I checked with other forumsMartin

The 737 and I think the 744 FMCs can list the plans in their database folder. Key Index/Navdata/FlightPlans and you should see what is stored by scrolling through the list. This is to check the spelling and if you want you key the plan name which will put it into the scratchpad. You can then key the CO_ROUTE to place it in there.

I'm sure my spelling is correct!I can only see the files when I press a button called compability files. Though I found something that worked... copy the files from compability modus to the regular modes. Then they show up and can be used... must be a VISTA thing.Still want to know what is going wrong
