Creating Flight Plans Using The World Map

I believe you are better off creating the flightplan in LitteNavMap and exporting it as a pln file.  🙂

Can I ask a stupid question... where do you export the file to?

Anywhere... You can browse to it when loading the plan in MSFS.

What am I doing wrong here. When I save the flightplan it tries to save the file as .lnmpln but MSFS doesn’t see the file. When I change it to pln it sees the file an let’s me load it but nothing appears in the world map or the FMC.

There are many You Tube videos showing how to export LitteNav flight plans to FS 2020 - e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_gx3wZ3m6k&ab_channel=scisimmer

I use SimBrief because it seems easier and simpler to me.  SimBrief is not as sophisticated as LittleNav but I find it much easier to use - there most recent update makes it a One-Click export operation.

You can choose to save it as a "pln file"

Start with a simple flightplan to test...

If the flightplan contains things that MSFS does not understand, it will not give you an error message, but just ignore the plan.

Thanks Bert. Realised my error was I hadn’t loaded the MSFS library. However still wasn’t the cure to my original issue which was a specific approach into 23r on the ILS at EGCC. Seems the sim is missing the approach waypoints for MIRSA.

That, I cannot help you with.. 🙂

It exports the files i need, the OFP briefing is nice to have. LittleNavMap is a powerful tool but it just doesn't run well enough for me. Foreflight and Navigraph subscriptions are luxuries to me and I wouldn't have it any other way.
