PMDG 737 - Can the FMC use default FP routes?

Featured Replies

Is it me or the 737 can't use flights created in the default flight planner?

No, that’s the 737. either punch all in manually (when very lazy I just input dep and arr airport, then SID and STAR and my plan is ready) or use simbrief to load/import flightplans

I just bought the 737 and I use LittleNavMap. How do you get the plans from LittleNavMap into the 737 FMS? Thanks!

Would be great if LNM can export flight plan as well as wind data for the PMDG 737.

For quick and dirty. Type in  the  DEP and Appr, then depp/Appr button, The press the dep in the LS1 key and enter the runway, then press the same key then RS2 (for the depart then enter then runway , then the IAF. Voila you have flight plan.

Make sure there are no gaps.

Use the MultiExport function, just need to set it for PMDG and locate the correct path.... in my case :::::

Wow, two genius minds. That’s exactly how I sometimes do it as well for quick and usually short hops.

If I got a half an hour and no more, I will sometimes throw a departure and an arrival from the same airport into the FMS and fly local.  not what the OP is looking for tho.  there isn't anything stopping you from manually entering in a default plan into the FMC, and it's not really that hard once you do it a couple times, but simbrief downloaded plans into the fmc is the easiest for now.

If you use simbrief you can also have wind uploads.

If I remember correctly the Simbrief downloader app can be set up to download multiple versions of a plan to different directories at the same time so you can build you plan in SB and and create versions to load on both the MSFS Planning plage and in the 737 FMS.

you could save the plan from world map, load it into LNM and use the multiexport in LNM to save it as the pmdg format in the correct folder. then call it up in the fmc or whatever needs to be done there.

make to set up LNM to use the MSFS databe which is far newer than the default in LNM

Or use LNM from the start and skip the worldmap planner. no need however for simbrief or navigraph if you fly not on vastim.

One advantage of simbrief is it can also create a weather profile that will be used by the FMS to calculate the descent.
