Can anyone tell me how I can input a plan, generated by the Routefinder website, into the 747 FMC? Thank you.

you write down the route, then put it in via those keyboard keys ;)Gary HayesLevel-D Simulations Development TeamNo im not a "real" pilot, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.P4 3.0ghz w/HT & FSB..Radeon X850XT 256MB..1 gig PC3200 DDR RAM..Sound Blaster Audigy w/5.1 THX

Actually, if you subscribe to the site ($15 for 6 months) you get access to another page where there is a facility to save the flight plan in a number of formats directly into the relevant directory. PMDG 747 is one of them as is the 737 and FSNAV.Very useful and saves a bunch if time on a long haul flight.CheersTim http://members.chello.nl/t.westnutt/realair.gif

Thank you.

Ah and one helpful hit.In the black area on the side of the FMC if you click it you can type in stuff with your keyboard instead of with the mouse :)First post here btw Hi Everyone.Happy flying!BeNt

Oryou create the route in the FREE RouteFinder, copy the route, and paste into FSBuild ... which will create the plan and export to whatever you want.Very convenient ...
