flightplan export to maddogx

[ggerolamo 108]

Hello,

are there any possibilities to export flightpans to the new MADDOG X from Leonardo  (*.mdr)?

If it's not possible now, are there intentions to implement this feature ?

 

greetings

Hi Gerolamo,

you have example files or documentation for the format?

Thanks. Looks easy. But why is every waypoint DIRECT? Strange.

Does the FMC restore the airways when you load this file?

Can you store a flight plan with SID, STAR and an approach and post it here?

In the maddog load-manager I can import the flight plan in p3d-format (*.pln) !

After import I can save the flight plan as *.mdr format - to be used in fmc - thats the result above !

But I also can enter the flight plan manually via load manager (analog to the fmc entry) - then the result is as expected:

obviously both results can be used in the fmc.... !?

Seems that the import of PLN removes the airways.

I think I can add the mdr format to the export for 2.0 but no promise. I recently added export formats that are similar.

Thanks a lot :-)

The reason FMCs often use LAT/LON/ICAO and no Airway is because downloaded routes and manually created routes from any kind of AIRAC, items don't necessarily exist in the navdata in the FMCs.
