Importing PMDG Flight Plan Into AivalaSoft EFB

[pilotwannabe 6]

Upon loading a saved 737 NG situation, is it possible to import the PMDG loaded route into the EFB? In the Select Route tab in EFB, it shows only the FSX *.pln, but none of the PMDG route formats, and I'm wondering if these PMDG files can be directly read in. Thanks!

Dont know, the way i do it and it works is that i save the flight plan in my flight sim x files and than i import them into the efb with no troubles at all. Maybe some one else will give their advice on the way you describe on how you want to do it.

Thanks for the reply, Pete. Do you just copy the PMDG file (*.rte or *.rt2) over into the FSX folder and rename it as *.pln? I'm not sure I follow what exactly you are doing.

I did a quick google search and found this

Not sure how well it works because I have never used it but it should convert the formats for you.

Thanks Jay. This seems to convert a *.pln FSX file into the PMDG format - I'm looking to go the other way. AivalaSoft themselves have a converter that outputs a route in the PMDG format, that you can then load into the FMC, but I have not been able to find any info on loading a PMDG file into EFB.

I'll have to have a look later and confirm, but I'm pretty sure one of the options to import a plan is .rte?

Hi rushad,

 

Found this on the aivlasoft support site. Unfortunately no further info over there.

I'm using flightsim commander to use both formats.

Hi Graham (Foghorn) just a gentle reminder that you are no longer allowed to put your system specs in your signature on the AVSIM forums, there is a facility for this in your profile now.

You can just paste the flightplan into simroutes and export it as an FS9/FSX file (.pln)

You can also convert plans for more or less every addon out there using this.
