Strange question and I'm pretty sure this can't be done, but I'm going to ask anyway. Does anyone know if it's possible to export the data from a Google Earth KML file showing a flight path (I got it from Flightaware) and import it so as to have fixes shown on the GPS in X-Plane? I'm wanting to recreate a specific flight that I'm interested in and would like to get it as close as possible. The KML I got from Flightaware shows the actual flight path and I want to either view XP in Google Earth as a moving map or convert the KML to some other format to use as a moving map if it isn't possible to import the path data otherwise. Hoping this makes sense. I just want the path to show up so I can easily follow it on a map or on the GPS is the short story version.

I tried that and really never could figure it out. I added the KML file to LNM, but it didn't really display anything so I'm not sure if I did something wrong or if it just doesn't do what I want.

Anyway, I found that you can create your own XP FMS file, which is just a text file. The KML file is XML, also something you can just open in a text editor. The problem is, the data in the KML is in the opposite order that the FMS file needs, so you have to move everything around to the correct order to create a usable FMS file. If you have a lot of waypoints in your KML file, it takes a long time to move everything into the correct order and reformat things. If you have a lot of unnamed waypoints, add a lot of extra time to the job. Someone good at scripting languages could probably create a way to do it automatically, but I don't know enough to do that.
