I recently updated LNM to 2.8.10.  Since then, I have encountered a problem with flight plans generated in XP-12.  I can load a flight plan into X-Plane and it appears as normal. 

 

However, when I attempt to insert an approach, I cannot do so because it won't list the destination airport (KPGA).  It only gives me the option for the departure airport.
 

The same problem occurs when using the L1000.  Also, attempting to load the flight plan in ASXP 12 results in an error message that the flight plan cannot be parsed.

I dropped back to the previous version 2.8.9 with its Little XpConnect and now flight plans procedures function properly.  The 2.8.9 flight plans will also load into ASXP 12.

I examined the flight plans from both LNM versions in Notepad++ and noticed one difference in their structure.  The 2.8.9 plans contain the entries ADEP and ADES whereas the 2.8.10 plans list DEP and DES.  If I change the 2.8.10 plans from DEP to ADEP and DES to ADES, they work in X-Plane and ASXP 12.

So, is this a problem unique to me and my setup?

A moment ago I've exported under 2.8.10 testing flight plan KGCN-KPGA into XP11/Xp12 format and it was ok - both ADEP/ADES inside .fms file
As I've noticed DES/DEP is only generated on my side when IDENT (internal XPlane ICAO key) is different from ICAO code field - example HSSK (new ICAO code) airport in Sudan (old ICAO code/XP ident - HSSS), example flight plan MMUN->HSSK gives ADEP/DES.

Usage of DEP/DES and ADEP/ADES depends on the airports (add-on not being based on stock, etc.). The decision is a bit complex internally due to LR's not documented corner cases which can result in issues loading a plan.

Nothing changed with FMS export from 2.8.9 to 2.8.10, BTW.

This is what I get when exporting your plan to FMS:

I

Check if all options in File -> "Export Options" are disabled.

Also click LNM menu -> "Scenery Library" -> "Check Scenery Library Settings" to see if you're using the wrong mode.

Hi Alex,

The problem was I was using the wrong mode in the Scenery Library Settings.  Thanks for your help👍
