Yes, I manually entered it into the 777 and then saved it.

 

I tried to use it in the MD11 about a week later. It still works in the 777.

I am going to be doing a KOAK-RJAA in the MD-11 tonight. I will set the route up in the 777F and save it. I will then do the flight in the MD-11 with the saved route from the T7 and see what happens.

Yes, I manually entered it into the 777 and then saved it.

I manually entered the KOAK-RJAA route into the T7, saved it, moved it to the FKIGHTPLANS folder and then tried to use it in the MD-11. I came up with the same results you did right down to the freeze when I tied KOAK/RJAA.

 

I do notice a difference in the routes created by the T7 and the planners that I use. There appears to be more numbers between waypoints on the left hand margin with T7 routes than the MD-11 routes created by the planners.

 

I have no answer. If you want to pursue this you should probably submit a ticket to PMDG at http://support.precisionmanuals.com/Main/Default.aspx. If you do submit a ticket, tell me what the end results are.

 

Thank you

Not sure if this is the right place to post as the topic is old, but I screwed up and tried to open a .rte file using firefox browser. Now all of my .rte files will only open using Firefox. Does anyone know what program I need to reference so that the FMS can read the .rte file? What reads the .rte file? And where is it located?

 

Now when I try and use a CO route, it will not recognize the .rte file. This thread was the closest thing I could find concerning this.

 

This is for the MD-11 FS9 using Win8.

 

Thanks,

Andrew

You should have started a new thread really.

 

Anyhow try this

 

FS9\PMDG\Flightplans   right click on a .rte file and select open/select a pogram from a list/select notepad/tick the box for "always use this program to open this type of file"

Hey, thanks a lot. Just Notepad was all, huh? lol
