Loading previously saved Flight Plans in the Mindstar GNS530

Recommended Posts

I'm having some difficulties with loading saved flight plans using the GNS530.

 

Once I've set up all my waypoints, I can use Menu -> Copy Flight Plan to copy it to the next available number.

 

However I can't seem to load the flight plan, after highlighting a saved flight plan using the cursor and using MENU -> activate flight plan option.

 

Nor can I view a saved flight plan by just clicking the ENT button after highlighting it with the cursor; it just sits there loading.

 

Is this expected behaviour or should loading of flight plans be possible?

 

If so, are they saved somewhere in a folder so I know whether they are saving properly?

As an update, it appears some flight plans will load, but not others for some reason.

Please provide one of the flight plans that will not load.

Hi WarpD, where are the flight plans saved to? I'm not sure which directory to go searching. Thanks.

They are saved to the same location normal flight plans are saved to.. as example on my system that would be the "Flight Simulator X Files" folder in my "Documents" folder.

 

They will all start with "MPI_GNS_FPL".

This is intentional on our part... and we're working through the why's and can we do something.

 

Also... use your name in your posts.

Thanks for the update WarpD. Hopefully this will be resolved as it would be nice not to have to retype a plan that has many many waypoints.

Ok... we know where the problem is and are working on it. I will let you know when a release is available that resolves it.
