I was trying to export a flight plan compiled by P2A as a text file to use in Rotate's MD-80 FMC.

It exports seeming okay but when I open the 'text' file it looks like it is filled with Chinese characters?

I just tried one and it worked normally.

If you can save the flight plan in question as a .vbf plan and email to [email protected], I'll have a look at it.

I'll try to get to it today.

Will also post a screenshot of the Chinese text.

Well hell now it is exporting as a text file but the FMC in the Rotate MD80 will not open it?

Try taking out the DCT and then import to the FMC.

Each consumer of a text string seems to want something different, so you sometimes have to tweak it before using it.  In this case, DCT means Direct to KABQ.

Thanks but I will just punch it in manually it's a pretty short FP.
