April 5, 20188 yr Menu > Catalog > Menu and be sure that the file to be imported is already located in the correct folder.

April 5, 20188 yr Author Hi Harry- No joy, path is... C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\F1TGTN\FPL Also of note, before I added the SimBrief KLAS-KSFO.gfp, there was and existing route, KTEB-KMVY.gfp in there which was never available as well. It's like the Import button was never there to begin with. I don't know.

The tutorial refers to multiple formats but does not list the formats. So it can create .gfp. Can it create .fpl files as well?

April 5, 20188 yr newtie, Currently there are some of us having problem with the import of flight plans. See this thread: http://www.simforums.com/Forums/f1gtncomplete-v2-04-no-fpl-import_topic59209.html Richard Richard Gustafsson [Started flying a couple of years ago. Now I'm addicted...]
April 5, 20188 yr Commercial Member It won't show with incompatible plans if I remember correctly, I'll have to check. But if the plan file contained just some junk you get the same result. Might be thinking of another one. Steve Waite: Engineer at codelegend.com

Anyway, I can always create my flight plans with Foreflight, input them manually and save them in the GTN, although I haven't actually done this. I suspect the GTN will be fixed eventually. Cheers, Mark

April 5, 20188 yr Commercial Member Never make assumptions. I have tested those they are fine. However there is always the possibility it has gone wrong in some way with the downloading or whatever. The GTN system is fine and there are posts on my forums about it's use having no issues in P3Dv4.2 last week in fact. That only leaves the file, so if the file is confirmed in the correct place that only leaves the file content or the possibility it can't be read because of some permission issue a lot have with their sims.

April 5, 20188 yr Author Hmmmm...well if you head on over to SimForums and look at the thread that started back in November, you'll see I've got some company. All those files corrupt? I'm assuming the file is in the correct place based on my path shown above. There was a file already in there that appears to be from the original install that I didn't add, which now returns us to the missing Import button. Cheers, Mark

Cheers, Mark I didn't say they all had to be corrupt - did I. So...that is if it's the one i'm thinking of. As I mentioned, could be another model. Steve Waite: Engineer at codelegend.com
