November 24, 20178 yr Hello flight friends, Have been playing around all morning trying to import flightplans into the Aerosoft a320 mcdu. I can import plans that have .flp extension but there does not seem to be software that can create such a .flp plan! I have tried FSC and PFPX and also some flighplan websites but they all export to .pln( and many other formats.....) that can be used for the airbus extended I believe but not for the a320 newer version. Is there a program that can convert the .pln to .flp or is there another option? I now the file should be somethimg like EGGWEGPE01 and that it has to be placed in the correct folder. Imreally would like to import into the mcdu including sids and stars because I don't like the mcdu very much😉. Would love to create flightplan in dedicated software. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
November 24, 20178 yr PFPX definitely has an option for exporting to the A320 in FLP format. Are you sure you're saving it to the correct folder? Best regards, Neal McCullough
November 24, 20178 yr Or this will do it for ya, choose Takeoff and Destination etc and save in many different formats, compatible with Aerosoft. Used this site along with PFPX, with or without PFPX its good. https://flightplandatabase.com/planner
November 24, 20178 yr PFPX does export the files in the Aerosoft Airbus(.flp). You need to set the folder correctly manually, and then use the export function. PFPX needs to be run as an administrator, or it is unable to write to the default Airbus folder. In my PC, the folder is C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Aerosoft\Airbus\FlightPlans . There was a bug that the flight plan name had to be 10characters in length or the MCDU would not detect the flight plan, but this was fixed I think. If you would like an alternative, use simbrief.com
