Hello all. I have been a sim player for many years but have only just discovered the amazing world of flight sims. As a brand new FSX player I have a query about the Free Flight and Flight Planner feature of the sim.

 

I don't know what is wrong, but when I go into free flight and plan a flight I don't seem to be able to save the flight plan so that I can load it in the 'load' screen. I know I save it because it is on the drive but doesn't appear as a saved flight for loading.

 

Also, if I try to fly the plan from within the flight planner it defaults to Glasgow as the starting point even though I have changed the start and finishing points.

 

Is this a common problem? I downloaded the patch last night but it didn't have any effect on this.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Othe than this the game runs perfectly on Windows 8.

Are you hitting the "Load" button inside the Flight Planner OR are you clicking on the "Load" button on the Free Flight or Main FSX Startup page? Flight plans are saved in the MyDocuments\FSX folder.

 

Best regards,

 

Jim
