I am getting my flight plan from flight aware copying and pasting it into simroutes in the generate routes page. I get the flight plan to load into simroutes I then use the download function to download route into the 777 flight plan folder within FSX. It is saved into a .rte file. I look into the FMC route request menu and I see the file I just save in the 777 flight plan folder. The problem is when I pick this saved route and load it into the FMC and activate the flight plan none of the waypoints r in the RTE page. Can I use simroutes to import a flight plan or do I need something like PFPX. If this is the only way to go can I use the flight plans from flightaware into PFPX

 

Any help would be great

Thanks

I tried that way but it doesnt work for me. Instead I just type the name in the scratch pad minus the .rte and line select coroute

I have tried the same thing and it comes up invalid entry. I go into route request and I see the saved route from simroutes but the way points r not in the fmc. I have watched a couple videos on youtube to see how it's done for the NGX can't find anything on the 777. I am doing the exact same thing as the video but no luck. The only difference I see is the file size is only about one third the size from simroutes than from actual flight plans I have saved inside of pmdg777 fmc. There must be something I am missing. Duhno??

the first flightplan I was importing was from VHHH to CYYZ.  I was always getting invalid entry.  I tried a flight plan from CYYZ to CYVR with no problems.  is the flight plan to long for the FMC to handle.  Anyone from PMDG could comment would be great

 

Thanks

Your problem seems similar to one I was having. I found a posible solution in this thread. http://forum.avsim.net/topic/421573-flightplans/?hl=%2Brte#entry2804093
