Import Plan (resolved)

Recommended Posts

I have recently updated the GTN 750/650 and now have no import option for flight plans. The plans are stored in the correct location, Program Data/Garmin/Trainers/GTN/FPLN but I cannot 'see' them using the GTN. Any help appreciated.

I have exactly the same problem. I am exporting flight plans from simbrief to "Program Data/Garmin/Trainers/GTN/FPLN".

GFP files are there but impossible to see them with the GTN and I do not have the import option in catalog menu!!

Currently installed software

SW version: 6.50.0 TRNG

Reality XP:2.5.4

Hi, please make sure to update to the latest 2.5.6, then review the User's Manual for the FPLN folder/shortcut location: it has changed and been discussed already in the forum.

I'm afraid I'm still having this issue.

I have GTN650 Trainer 6.5.0 and RXP 2.5.6 on XP11.25, default install locations.  Original install was RXP 2.5.4 then upgraded. Garmin was 6.5.0 downloaded recently.

In my c:\programdata\garmin\Trainers\GTN folder there wasn't an FPLN folder so I created it and placed a .gfp exported from Skydemon in there. Skydemon's export works with the real GTN so I'm guessing there shouldn't be a file issue with the trainer. However none of my flightplans are visible in the catalog. I have tried creating numerous versions, different filenames (simple characters, short lengths etc) but nothing works. I have blown open the permissions on the FPLN folder, so I don't believe it's a security issue. I disable all antivirus on my simulator computer as it only functions as a sim, so it is unlikely to be interference from that either.

I have even installed XP11 and the same versions of Trainer and RXP on my laptop for comparison and the same issue occurs. Please could you advise? Thanks :)

@rictus please, when I say read the manual, please do read the manual. See p9.
