Need advice : FS2004 Flightplan format?

Recommended Posts

Hi,I need some help with the new FS2004 FP format, because there have been some changes. Have a look at the following 3 FP rows:waypoint.0=, ESSA, , ESSA, A, N59* 38.26', E17* 54.80', +000124.00, waypoint.1=ES, DKR, , DKR, V, N59* 12.43', E17* 0.72', +000000.00, waypoint.2=ES, ELPAX, , ELPAX, I, N58* 5.73', E15* 16.40', +000000.00, UN872There are 2 new fields in the flightplan:- 1st field -> Country code of waypoint (I presume)- 3rd field -> Empty (field between ESSA, ,ESSA / DKR, ,DKR etc)Does anyone know where this 3rd field is used for?

The empty field might be for future expansion.The first field is NOT country code. US internal flights can have different codes there, I've seen K1, K2 and K7 at least in the few plans I've checked. They MAY be FIR codes instead (ATC area).
