Flightplans created with the default FS9 flightplanner are saved as xxxxxx.pln, right ?... Inside the PMDG 'Flightplans' folder flightplans have either an .rte or .rt2 extension.

 

Question(s) : how does one create a flightplan that can be saved as xxxxx.rte ?

 

Can it still be done with the default FS9 flightplanner or do i need a 3th party flightplanner ?

 

Thanks much for any tips/hints !

You need a third party flight planner - I use FSBuild; there are a number of others...

Hello

FScommander

Or for a free solution use Pln2Rte to convert your .pln's to rte

You can use the now freeware and still excellent FSNavigator as well.

It does have the PMDG export fuction - just download the module: http://library.avsim.net/sendfile.php?DLID=38503

Thanks for the tips, gents, abundage of options !

 

Yes, I remember FSNav ! I come from the 'dark side' , you know.. I never found the time to fly jetliners, not in FS9 and not in FSX. Only low and slow VFR. Now i have the time i find no fun in flying jetlliners in FSX because of the low fps around most of the big airports, while i do have a nice rig ( Alienware Area51 ALX). Reinstalled FS9, dressed up with all the goodies. Boy! What a difference that makes ! :Party:

 

I think i'll go with FSNav. Long time no see. Will be great to work with it again !

 

Thanks again for the tips and links ! B)
