Converting FSX and Route Finder plans for RC

Featured Replies

I am running FSX PMDG 747-400X, Radar Contact and FSMeteo. I have FS2Crew also but understand that it is NOT compatible with Radar Contact.1. How do I convert or upload a flight plan that I create in FSX to Radar Contact. I see no "export" area in the FSX flight planner.2. What about flight plans created with Route Finder?3. Am I correct in this procedure?a. Open FSX, thenb. Open FSMeteo, thenc. Open RCWould sure appreciate any help you can give.Jeff EvenRocklin, California, USA

I did forget to ask the second part of my question... sorry about that... the Route Finder planner will spit out FS9, FSX or PMDG flightplans.After I find a flightplan it give me the options to convert and then asks me where to send it... I assume I would send the FSX plan to RC, is that correct?Jeff Evans

Yeah, I saw the comment from Bryan York on the FSCrew forum. Actually I got the information that they were not compatible from the RC manual. Apparently things have changed though. I'm looking forward to using them both together.BTW, I found out why I was having some problems with RC... it has to do with that crazy "administrator" thing with Vista. If I open RC "as administrator"... no problem with the voices. If I don't do that, no voices plus a myriad of other problems. Wish there was a way to "always" open it as administrator. Anybody aware of how to do that?

you can install rc in a non protected area. don't put it in c:program files...put it in f:flightrc or something else like that. some directory you have rights to.you can also edit the properties of the icon, to say run as administratorjd
