I just kept circling til I got up to the altitude to cross the mountain gap.

While I do have landing lights its just curious that the taxi lights dont work. Since it appears that the taxi lights are just the right side landing light. At least thats what it looks like in FS9

I removed the spotlight bmp file and I still had all lights except taxi I havent edited any of the config files. I prefer not to mess around with those, I only noticed It because I installed 3d and was checking out the lights. Prior to that I didnt do night flying.

I installed 3d redux also. I didn't pay attention before but now my taxi lights don't work. All other lights ok. I emailed A2Simulations twice but have not heard back.

Glad its working but im not so smart. In FSX My taxi lights dont work and I haven't moved anything. Any one have any ideas? I fly the Mooney right now but it doesnt work on any a/c. If I startup FS9 and check the Mooney everything works. Thanks.

Was unable to use that system as well. When I removed the last line and saved then opened in FSX it went back to a line from KIPT to N13. I can post the plan or send it to you to look at? Thanks Dan

Kewl will try that next. Thanks DAN

Yeah dont do the sids stars thing .........yet. I have come to the conclusion after 2 days of trying that ms planner just wont let ya build a round robin IFR flight. I tried putting waypoints at end of rwy and close together for first couple of miles but it always has me turn aound to land where I just left from. I reckon a sim just aint perfect. The only other thing to do is plan several one way flights on the round robin and just change dest in air as I approach each one. Thanks for all the tips. I will try plan g already downloaded.

Ok after 3 hours of trying I was finally able to register.

Well I am getting the same problem. i used to be a member but now it says my e-mail is not recognized. I try to sign up and get teh reg page again. And I get no confirm e-mail.

Plan g says VFR only. Can it do IFR?

Nope it no work. Saved and Loaded from the edit page after putting in PNE vor and HAR vor. Still has me take off do a 180 and setup for rwy 8 ils at LNS. I want to set it a IFR VOR to VOR route it aint happenin.

Your suggestion did not work either. I can select the airports go into edit screen drag course line to the VOR towers they show up in the list to the right,select nav log they show up, go back to main planner screen click on create and get error unable to create. The only way it will plan is to select direct GPS but when you go back to edit screen it shows a line from KNLS to KLNS. Also noticed the kneeboard will not update if you change IFR destination in flight. So much for MS flight planner creators. The gps will show new route but the kneeboard shows the original plan. Guess Ill have to spring for add on flight planner.

Wow Fort Lee NJ? I used go thru there 5 days a week.Hauling paper from Phil to Mass. Good ol GWB wheew.

Hey they aint bad at all. Sure is improvement over FSX. FS9 was way better than FSX.

Like kewl. Heres the scenario. I select departure and arrival LNS. I then go into the edit section and add waypoint by dragging course line to PNE then to MDT and back to LNS. The listed flight plan shows up in the gps as correct and in the kneeboard. However when I fly ATC has me take off head toward MDT then turns me to land at RWY 8 LNS. I was trying to plan a round robin IFR night flight. IS this a flaw in the FSX? Thanks Dan The Wannabee!!!

Ok renamed logbook and fsx.cfg. Loaded the sim, selected my last flight which I saved. Loaded ok changed time from night to day and it did the same thing. Thanks Dan

I haven't done any tweaks to my fsx.cfg. If I rename my logbook i will loose all my flight time correct? The windows event did not show anything for the crash. It happened again this am. Started ok pretrip Mooney and set up radios etc taxi to rwy change time zone from day to night for night flight. When it did its loading scenery etc it got to 100 then crashed to desktop. Did manual restart and it went right in and I did a flight from LNS to PNE no problem. Seems like random event. Poss vid card problem? using nvidia 8400gs. If it is what would be a good vid card? Need pc express. Thanks Dan

Where would that be located in win xp? Thanks

Where to post question on operation of FSX flight planner?

Hello all. Sometimes I can load and fly a ok other times this happens. The load goes thru to 100% then crashes and I get the stupid send error to microsoft screen.How do I paste a bmp of the screen shot?Thanks

When I save a flight with real world weather active (Jeppesen downloads) as default flight then try to restart FSX it crashes. If I uncheck real weather it starts a ok. Any suggestions? Thanks Dan

Ok thanks a bunch have not flown this much with 172 I usually fly the Baron But since I reinstalled and lost my pilot records Ive been doing it a lot more to get updated. How would I save my pilot records so I don't have to do this again? Thanks.

Well GGG i guess I'm not the only one with problems. I just flew the solo 4 times and after my sharp turn I'm supposed to fly 110 head for the Tacoma narrows a/p. The FAA test pilot says to descend to 1300 at my discretion before arriving at left downwind. When I do descend he says nothing else even after way past airport. I turn around with the little message telling me to fly 110. Last flight I kept alt at 2000 and sure enough he has me turn to 170 just past a/p which is on my right then I descend to 1300 and he tells me the a/p is on the left. If i'm on left downwind isn't the a/p supposed to be on the right? I then get the ok to land runway 35. After landing I get my cert but i cant print it. The window recognizes my printer but will not print. Thanks Dan

So i just ignore it then? right?It is listed in my aircraft select window as well as the texture file in the aircraft folder under c172 texture. It has a thumbnail of the a/c and it is also white. In the aircraft config file it is listed as fltsim.5 but is listed asatc_id=N760PLui_manufacturer="Cessna"ui_type="C172SP Skyhawk"ui_variation=" Red, Gold"ui_typerole="Single Engine Prop"ui_createdby="Microsoft Corporation"Thanks Dan
