January 7, 200422 yr 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

January 9, 200422 yr Author 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
