I have a route .pln created by my VA. If I try to load it, I get an error 5 and RC shuts down. If I load the plan into FSX, then save it (making it XML-style), RC will accept it, but doesn't see any waypoints. It says: KCLT to KBWI@29000 (Alt1-, Alt2-) / ....... *RVSMI"ve includedeach version of the plan.Created from VA website:

what version of rc are you running?can you email me each .pln file?
the .pln that is blowing up doesn't have the necessary trailing comma at the end of each waypoint line. it is also missing the appversion= line at the tophere is an example of a valide .pln file[flightplan]AppVersion=9.0.30612title=KSFO to KLAXdescription=KSFO, KLAXtype=IFRroutetype=3cruising_altitude=37000departure_id=KSFO, N37* 37.08', W122* 22.29',+000013.00departure_position=GATE 87destination_id=KLAX, N33* 56.33', W118* 24.25',+000126.00departure_name=SAN_FRANCISCO_INTLdestination_name=LOS_ANGELES_INTLwaypoint.0= , KSFO, , KSFO, A, N37* 37.08', W122* 22.29', +000000.00, waypoint.1= , SENZY, , SENZY, I, N37* 39.59', W122* 29.06', +02000.00, waypoint.2= , PORTE, , PORTE, I, N37* 29.23', W122* 28.28', +07000.00, waypoint.3= , PESCA, , PESCA, I, N37* 16.05', W122* 19.43', +21000.00, waypoint.4= , WAGES, , WAGES, I, N36* 59.27', W121* 44.13', +34000.00, waypoint.5= , AVE, , AVE, V, N35* 38.49', W119* 58.42', +37000.00, waypoint.6= , DERBB, , DERBB, I, N35* 15.21', W119* 38.29', +37000.00, waypoint.7= , REYES, , REYES, I, N34* 39.31', W119* 08.03', +34000.00, waypoint.8= , FIM, , FIM, V, N34* 21.24', W118* 52.52', +27000.00, waypoint.9= , SYMON, , SYMON, I, N34* 09.54', W118* 48.38', +15000.00, waypoint.10= , SADDE, , SADDE, I, N34* 02.20', W118* 45.52', +13000.00, waypoint.11= , BAYST, , BAYST, I, N34* 01.46', W118* 39.49', +13000.00, waypoint.12= , SMO, , SMO, V, N34* 00.36', W118* 27.24', +08000.00, waypoint.13= , JAVSI, , JAVSI, I, N34* 01.42', W118* 16.39', +03000.00, waypoint.14= , KLAX, , KLAX, A, N33* 56.33', W118* 24.25', +000000.00,

Also, the duplicate waypoint label field is optional. Here is one line of mine:waypoint.1=UKN, V, N43* 16.48', W091* 32.14', +20000.00, The beta team found that a setting in Active Sky called "Convert to FS9 .pln" created the duplicate field and RC was adjusted to accommodate that, so either way is fine.

Thanks for looking at this. I'll see if I can "fix" those plan files. What's strange is that RC couldn't read the plan created by FSX. Were you able to tell why it didn't see the waypoints?
