Exporting Flightplans From PFPX TO PMDG 777 Issue

Featured Replies

Hi everyone,

I recently changed my sim from FSX Steam Edition to P3D V4. When I try to export a flight plan from PFPX to the PMDG 777, it says that it could not write the files. I have already checked that they were the correct folders, and P3D was running while I was trying to export the flight plan. I have also checked that I had downloaded the 777 version for P3D. Any help would be much appreciated!

Kind Regards,

Max

what is the path you ve selected in ppfx for p3D? can you entirely copy and past here?

C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4/PMDG/FLIGHTPLANS/777

Try C:\Prepar3D v4\PMDG\Flightplans, unless you installed P3D to Program files.

Ryzen 9 7900X, AsRock Taichi B650e, MSI RTX 4070 Ti Super, 32GB G Skill Flare, 850W PSU, 4TB WD 850 SSD, Win 11 Pro, 27" 1440p MSI monitor

My PFPX will export to the pmdg\flightplans,  pmdg\flightplans\777 and pmdg\flightplans\ngx but not to the pmdg\flightplans\747 folder.  Never figured this out, doesn't make sense.  When exporting for the 747 I gave up and simply started using the parent flightplans.

Maybe one thing, do you select the 777 for p3d into pfpx?

Yes

Hi There,

If memory serves, try:  C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4

I think you only have to point/browse to the P3d folder and PFPX does the rest, (puts the files into PMDG, WX etc)   give it a whirl and let me know if it works OK.

Hi Fall_guy,

I've just tried it and it didn't work, but thanks for your idea.

Do you guys think that it is a good idea to uninstall and then reinstall it?

No... make sure you are running PFPX with admin rights.
