Does RC use FSX flight plans or will I need a third party flight planner?Thanks

It uses FSX flightplans. You can also use any 3rd party planner that can export in FSX format.

Thanks, goes to show how long it has been since originally installed RC

RC like FSX (I believe) can take FS9 or FSX (XML) formats. Consider that when looking at third party planners which can perform better than the default.If you use an advanced aircraft with an FMC that includes its own terminal procedure database and want to match SID/STAR waypoints within the departure and approach areas there are certain procedures to follow to keep RC ATC in sync with your FMC. Reply if you want a hint sheet based on FS Build.

Ron:Can you post that hint sheet to here? If so, I'm interested.ThanksBob DemarestBirmingham, Alabama

I would like the hint sheet, I looked FScommander and build sites today.
