For some reason my way points are displayed as K6 K6 K6 etc Or K7 K7 K7 etc. I am building my Flight Plans with FS4. When I try to fly the flt Headings are different from the flight plan. This problem started "all of a sudden". I thought it might have been when I installed Flight Deck Companion. However when I uninstalled FDC the problem was still there. All the other flights that I built before installing FDC are OK. Would restoring Windows XP PRO back to a previous date correct the problem? What else do I need to tell you here to help you solve my problem? Thanks in advance.Harry

Here's what my Flt Pln looks like when I try to load itKSTL to KORD@19000 (Alt1- , Alt2-) / K5.K5.K5.Hopes this helps

if you are using fs2004, you need to download rcv 3.1instructions are pasted on the forum at the top. you will need to download other files too. just follow the directionsjd

Hi JDI already have RC3.1 and the additional files11.zip12.zip13.zipRCWavUpdateFULL.zipIt seems this was an "all of a sudden" type thing. Rc's Flt Pln doesn't match FS2004's. If I follow Fs2004 Fltpln RC will get on me for being off my course. And the last couple of times there is no decent clearances for vectoring to approach. I just completed the flight plan and fly directly over the destination Airport at my cruise altitude. Whether or not it had anything to do with my installing Flight Deck Companion. It seems to have started right after that. I uninstalled FDC but it didn't help. The problem is still there. I am using Fs2004 flt planner. I can't get NAV30 to work with FS2004. Do I need to uninstall RC3.1 and reinstall it? Again thanks for your help.Harry

send me the .pln file, and let me look at itjd

loads perfectly in 3.1 and 4.0i suspect you have a shortcut or an icon that is still pointing to the rcv3.exe filelook for the rcv31.exe, and execute it. also change your shortcut and icons to point to itjd

Hi JohnI checked the Shortcut icon and it points to the rcv31.exe file,in my case it is on my G drive. The reason for that is I also video edit and I want to keep my video seperate from everything else. Again rcv was working perfectly until about a week ago. After checking the icon to make sure it was ok I deleted all the .PLN files that were in error, then did a system restore to a point before it started giving me trouble. I then built a fltpln and tried loading it in FS2004 and then with rcv3.1. No luck. Same thing happened. All then fltplns load ok that was built before that date. I noticed you mentioned that there is a new version 4.0 out. Am I elegible for the upgrade? Also do you think that if I completely uninstalled rcv and reinstalled and ending up with Version 4.0 that just might correct the problem?Thanks for you help.Harry

rcv4 is still being tested.i don't think uninstalling and re-installing will help. software just doesn't stop working. something else has to have changed.when you hover over the rcv31.exe, what build number does it say?should be 3.10.0.2272jd

JdWhen I hover over the icon it says:3.10.0.2269. Looks like it's not the 3.10.0.2272 that is supposed to be. Ok what proceedure should I follow now? Give me the link to the correct version. Do I install over my existing software?Thanks for your helpHarry

Follow the link posted in the pinned thread at the head of this forum.

if you installed 3.1 with all the new wavs, etc. all you need is to download the new 3.1 build, and overwrite your .exe with the new one.

Your posted FP shows you are using the patched version of FS9 (FS9.1). Did your trouble start with installing the patch?If so, be sure you have upgraded to the latest version of FSUIPC and advdisp.dll which while not a direct issue of loading the FP into RC 3.1 while FS9 is not running might cause problems once you start FS9.

Hi jdI did as you said and downloaded the new version 2272. I uzipped it into my rcv folder and replaced the desktop startup icon. I then rebuilt the KORD-KSTL flight. I loaded the PLN with rcv and everything seems to be OK. No K7.K7,K7 K7.etc. It shows the correct waypoints. I don't have time to fly now. Have to go shopping with my wife... soooooo I'll fly later today and post how it goes. I'm thinking it should be Ok. Stay tuned.Harry

jdI flew the flight and everything went prefect. I want to thank you and ronzie for helping me through this problem. I'm thinking I can reinstall FDC. It should be compatable.Thanks AgainHarry
