December 22, 20178 yr Hi Folks, Exported a few flight plans from the latest version of Little NavMap into the latest version of the RXP GTN using the process outlined on page 9 of the RXP manual - the flight plan files are present in the "C:\ProgramData\Garmin\Trainers\GTN\FPLN" folder... I followed the keystrokes described in the manual and the option to "import" a flight plan doesn't appear on the designated screen... Quote FPN/RI:F:KTEB:F:BREZY,N41095W074081.V39.CMK,N41168W073349:F:MERIT,N41229W073082:F:HFD,N41385W072328:F:PUT,N41573W071506:F:ENE,N43255W070368:F:KBHB Also - this aircraft has a GNS as well - exported flight plan from LNM to this too - and I see on startup the GNS prompts to "import" flight plan - which I do - but said flight plan only shows the very first waypoint and nothing after... Any ideas ??? Thanks... Regards, Scott
December 22, 20178 yr Author Hi Folks, OK - disregard the GNS part - I have that working... After import - you need to select the flight plan and activate it in the catalog... GTN - still an issue for me... Regards, Scott
December 22, 20178 yr Hi Scott, The "C:\ProgramData\Garmin\Trainers\GTN\FPLN" path is for GTN trainer 6.41 only, just in case you are using 6.21. Besides, this might be close to an issue which was reported on our X-Plane forum which is still eluding me: You might want to review this and let us know if these suggestions helps? If positive, with more troubleshooting data it might prove easier for us to find out a fix, if any.
December 22, 20178 yr Author Hi Jean-Luc, Confirmed 6.41 being used in the RXP sim... I tried placing an "a_" before the flight plan name - no joy... The GNS does load the flight plan properly - only GTN affected... Regards, Scott
December 22, 20178 yr It might not specifically be 'a_' for you though. You might want to review the entire discussion and the progress reported in trying different approaches. You might also want to confirm the 'test' pack attached in the discussion is working or not.
December 22, 20178 yr Author Hi Jean-Luc, Just to confirm the process: Flight Plan Menu Catalog Menu Regards, Scott

Will do... I did unzip your included test flight plan - and - copied to appropriate directory - no joy... KSLE_KSLE.gfp Regards, Scott
December 22, 20178 yr The GTN and GNS use entirely different formats! With different file extensions. They are not the same!

December 22, 20178 yr The GTN file spec is ".gfp". The gns is ".fpl" Frank Patton Corsair 5000D Airflow Case; MSI B650 Tomahawk MOB; Ryzen 7 7800 X3D CPU; ASUS RTX 4080 Super; NZXT 360mm liquid cooler; Corsair Vengeance 64GB DDR5 4800 MHz RAM; RMX850X Gold PSU;; ASUS VG289 4K 27" Display; Honeycomb Alpha & Bravo, Crosswind 3's w/dampener.

December 22, 20178 yr Hi Scott, I copied and pasted your KTEB-KBHB flight plan and saved as KTEB-KBHB.gfp. It works in my GTN. Spoiler http://
December 22, 20178 yr @scottb613 can you try manually overriding the path to the data files using the RXP environment var (see User's Manual p18). Typically: GTNSIMDATA="C:\ProgramData\Garmin\Trainers\GTN"
December 22, 20178 yr Author Hi Folks, Thanks for all the help - yeah - still have the F1 GTN installed - perhaps that's my issue... I'm looking at page 18 - so do I run this at the command line or does it need to in config file somewhere - command line doesn't work... GTNSIMDATA="C:\ProgramData\Garmin\Trainers\GTN" Regards, Scott
December 22, 20178 yr Either on p18 or the one before, there is a link to illustrated how to set an environment variable. It is a genuine and universal Windows feature, not a config/ini/fltsim one!
December 22, 20178 yr Author gotcha... looking... If this was UNIX - no problem - I'm not a Windows guy... Regards, Scottt
