Is there a method of getting even simple flight plans to load into the current MSFS WT GNS 430/530?  Oh I miss the days with RXP!

The built in Flight Planner can import a FP for the GNS.

How? I have tried and not succeeded.  You refer to the default MSFS World screen flight planner, right?

Yes. If u choose more then you can load or save a flt or a pln. Been that way since the beginning -B

?????  What does that mean?  I am aware of the load/save. But loading and then starting a flight is not placing a plan into the GNS430 in the Blacksquare Turbine Duke's MSFS WT GNS430 when I start the flight.  I find no true-to-Garmin file loading in the gauge itself.  Do I need to load a saved .pln file?   Or a saved .flt file?

This is MSFS, LOL.  Nothing has been that way since the beginning.

You asked how to place a flt plan into the GNS.  If you load a pln via the load menu it shows up in GNS. What you want beyond that is above my pay grade apparently and yes…you have ALWAYS loaded flight plans into the GNS that way.  You CAN “dial them in” if you like. Good luck with that LoL

That's exactly how I used to do it in the G3000 as well until Simbrief import came along.

Just as another data point, I loaded a FP three times using Load/Save and Load From this PC on the World Map page and the FP showed up in the GNS530 every time -- worked with both the Flysimware C414 and LearJet35A, and with the Black Square TBM850. The TBM850 has the configurable panel option so had to 'cycle the panel' to reselect the GNS530 option before the FP would show up. I don't have the Black Square Duke so can't comment on that.

Create the flightplan in Little Navmap.

Export as MSFS pln file.

On World screen, select your GNS airplane, and load this flightplan (space, space, load), go Fly!

 

Thanks Bert. Seemed that was what I attempted but perhaps I was working instead with an .flt pllan.  Wil check on my next BkSqTD flight.

Bert,
This is not working for me.  The .pln file clearly loads at the World screen. Planned route's waypoints are clearly depicted on the planning map.  When I go Fly Now, when into the flight the flight plan is not showing up in the GNS of the Blacksquare Baron, PMS now-MSFS default GNS430 or GNS530.  The GNS flight plan screen stays empty other than listing the departure airport.

Can you load a fpl in any other aircraft that has GNS?

Are you using a PMS GNS?   If so, delete it.

The new default GNS is the WT version, and it should pick up the flight plan from the World screen.

Thank you Bert.  Got it working today.  That may have been it as I have (had) the PMS on my hard drive.  However I use Addons Linker and verified I clearly have not had the PMS loaded.  I have however now deleted the PMS from my hard drive addons folders.  It was not otherwise anywhere in my Official or Community folders.  Last night I also updated some Navigraph components.  So not sure what eliminated the issue, but one of those two steps did.

My flt pln and gfp files come from Simbrief and also work well in MSFS.

As a point of information, I had the same problem with the Black Square Duke.  Couldn't load a flight plan into the default GNS 530.  I believe this started after SU 15.. Solved the problem by switching to the free PMS GTN750.
