How do I load FSX flight plans, in .flt format, into RC? I have the latest version of RC 4.3.3845, but on the main page I can only load .pln/.apl files? Yes I have set up the correct path to the .flt/.wx files in RC Options.

How do I load FSX flight plans, in .flt format, into RC?

 

.flt files are NOT flight plans, but saved FS 'situations' (plane selected, position, speed, control settings, radio settings, etc). FS flight plans are in .pln files only.

Sorry that I mixed the file names, should have known better.

Did you get an answer to your question on flight plan loading? If not, I suggest using the free PlanG flight planner if you don't already or any other flight planner you know of that develops a .pln flight file.

 

Once you build your flight, save it as a .pln file for loading into RC. Once you open RC, you load the flight plan using the button in the upper-left hand corner of the RC program display. You're probably familiar with that already. If not, the RC manual can show you the way.

 

You may also want to save the flight plan as a .plg if you want to display it on PlanG in the future in addition to using it with FSX.

 

Enjoy.

do you want to load .pln files? click the load a .pln button.

 

you can only load .flt files, if they were saved by rc, and that creates a .rcd file.

 

you then would click the load a .rcd button, and select the .rcd file - that will load the .flt file for you

Everything is solved. I did mix the file extensions. Sorry to have made you confused.
