FSflightMax, how to import flight plan..

Featured Replies

I am using FS2004 and FSflightMax. FSFlightMax is not seeing my FS2004 flight plans. I think I have to manual move my "*.pln" files into FSFlightMax. Is this correct? Where (which directory) do I move them into? And do I need to change the file extension name?Bottom line is I want to overlay the flight plan onto the sectional chart, as viewed in FSFlightMax.Thanks,JIm B

Hi, I wrote this short HOW-TO for the FSFlightMax/FSGarmin Tips and Tricks section, it applies to FS2004 as well:FSFlightMax will exclusively load and display any saved flight plan from ...Flight Simulator 9flightsmyfltsAny addon, tool or utility that is able to export its plans to FS2002 format can be used. Create the aforementioned directory and copy your plans to it....-... Quick Guide to loading a flightplan ...-...- FSFlightMax ON- ENTER // brings up the map view- MENU // first menu page- MENU // second menu page- SYSTEM // system screen- MENU // settings subscreen- LOAD FLIGHTPLAN // directory listing flight plans- HIGHLIGHT with lower right button- ENTER // system screen- MENU // settings subscreen- ESC //first menu page- MAP //map mode with flightplan overlayedYou can overlay the display of the flightplan in CHART mode as well if you have a chart for your current position.

Uwe,Thanks for the information. I understand it. Can you please recommend a tool or utility that I can use to convert my fs2004 flight plans into FS2002 the format. Perhaps such a tool could be found at Avsim?Thanks,Jim
