Using EFB and importing into FMC?

[billb1981 0]

I'm trying to figure out how to take my .rte file in EFB and import it into the FMC co route in the PMDG 737-700. I've tried to save the .rte file, and import it using the CO route, but it doesn't load anything into the LEGS page. Am I missing something simple?

Hi BillIm using EFB and importing .rte files without any problems. I guess some quick and dirty questions to ask are:1) are you sure the route you are creating in EFB is actually a full flight plan?2) are you saving the .rte file to the correct place? For me I save them direct from EFB into FSXPMDGflightplansngx and they are accessible straight from the CDU immediately thenCheerskevin

Hi Bill, have you set the right path for the .rte file? default save for flightplans is Flight Simulator XPMDGFLIGHTPLANS but the 737 has a NGX Folder inside the Flightplans directory.Point EFB to save RTE to Flight Simulator XPMDGFLIGHTPLANSNGX or copy it manual to that directory.If that not helps, write exact what you enter in EFB, I use it here every day without any probs.Greetings from germany

It shows up in the actual FMC when I go to coroute, but nothing populates.
