When I create a flight plan in P3D v5.1 that ends with a procedure and I export it to Flight 1 Garmin 750/650. In Garmin the flightplan is loaded but without the procedure. I have tried exporting both alternatives in LNM with and without user defined waypoints. The Garmin loads the flightplan but without STAR. As far as I understand, it should be possible, but I am doing something wrong. Can anyone lead me right`?

Loading of SID and STAR is not covered by the P3D PLN file format.

You have to select them manually in the GPS.

Thank you Alex for fast answer.
You are writing P3D PLN file format. Maybe I'm vague. It is true that I use P3DV5.1 but I create the flightplan in LNM and choose the format for Flight1 Garmin 750/650, gfp. I do not create in P3D format,pln. Perhaps loading of SID and STAR is not covered by the gfp file format either?

Hi Thomas,

I see. The RealityXP touch can read procedures but the Flight1 Garmins not: https://www.littlenavmap.org/manuals/littlenavmap/release/2.6/en/FLIGHTPLANFMT.html#flight-plan-export-formats

No idea why this difference. Don't they use the same Garmin trainer backend?

Hi again Alex

By pure chance, I got Reality XP installed today before I read your answer. It is true that it works in Reality XP and procedures are loaded. Now that purchase feels extra successful. I also do not understand why it works with Reality XP. Both Flight1 and Reality XP use the same Garmin trainer. The one in Reality XP seems to be of a slightly fresher date but it can hardly make a difference. Thanks for the tip anyway!

Not sure, but the RXP unit does have some capabilities that the Flight1 unit does not... Maybe this is one of them..
