Title: How do I load a flightplan?
Post by balus on Jan 13th, 2017 at 8:25am
I have the 777 installed in P3D but cannot load a flightplan. I generate the plan using PFPX, export both the CS and P3D plans but when I try to load either of them they are not listed. Export folder for PFPX is set to <documents>\Prepar3D v3 Files - the plans are there but they are not listed in the CDU

I save the route as an FSX flight plan in the Flight Simulator X files folder) then copy & paste it to the Prepar3D v3 Files. Then I load it into the CDU from there. It works.

Note. I have FSX, FSX-SE, Prepar3D v2.6 and Prepar3D 3.4 installed on my compute. At this time, I'm getting an error when trying to save them to the P3D v3 folder.

I can't see how that is different to what I am already doing - are you suggesting that the CS777 is not fully P3D compatible? I know you don't work for CS, but that's what it sounds like. I wonder if we could get a comment from CS.

It doesn't seem load P3Dv3 flight plans, but I know it can load FSX flight plans though. The 777 can't load the Captain Sim flight plans created by PFPX either. That's because PFPX saves them in the format that the 757, and 767 use, not the format that the 777 uses.

Also. The CS777 for P3D was originally done for P3Dv2, and I'm not so sire it's fully updated to P3Dv3, but everything else seems to be the same in P3D, as it is in FSX.

I have sometimes entered the route manually into the CDU, by copying the route info from PFPX. That can take a while to do on some long routes, so it's not always what one might want to do.

In my case it loads all P3D flight plans since I finally know how to do so :) 8-) 8-)

Are you going to tell us how you do it? ;)
