I haven't tested this yet, so I might be wrong.

The only way I can think of doing it, is to park at the Gate, shut down the plane, or at least turn the IRS OFF. Turn the IRS back ON, then use the second plan (providing it doesn't go missing when turning the IRS OFF). I know that if you were to do a complete shut down of the 767 you would lose your flight plans (RTE1 and RTE2), because I accidentally did it a few times. Embarrassed

I've not tried yet - but from the gate can't I just execute RTE2 into the FMS, if I actually loaded both RTE1 and RTE2 into the FMS at the beginning of the trip..??!!  

That's the part that puzzles me, Morten. I can't recall a problem importing two or even five routes into the FSX flight planner and then using the plane's import feature to get a current plan every time I need it. I even run some software which sort of live streams plans into FSX (leads to an updated plan without ever going into FSX menus) and it works. No need to trick with RTE1 and RTE2 in my eyes.

So, sorry for asking stupid, but what happens if you've finished your first flight, park at the gate, access the FSX flight planner, load another plan and import it into the FMC? That should work.  Huh


CoolP!!!...you lost your focus again!  Grin

Ah, I've read the initial post again.

I simply couldn't get FSX ATC out of "Parking mode" and on to the ILS clearance.


Exactly!!!


PARKING MODE, Remember?

IF I use the ATC and it tells me to contact Ground after exiting the runway, the choices I get after exiting the runway and tuning into Ground are

1. Request Taxi to Gates
2. Request Taxi to Parking
3. [Taxi for Takeoff Options]

So I often never contact ground. I just go to the gate I want, and then later request Taxi instructions for takeoff.


AHA!! Yes off course! No need for that. The solution!

Okay then, that leave us with only one obstacle left, the FMS.

I'm gonna test that now and report back!

Cheers

That's the point where I thought your parking mode thingy was solved. Not?  Sad I'm im puzzling mode now.  Cheesy

I found that once I land at the first airport, if I shut the engines down, I lose RTE2. This might be happening after finishing RTE1, but I never checked RTE2 until after shutting down the engines. Undecided

OK! SOLVED!  Cheesy

By using Marks advice, I finally got rid of the ATC "Parking" mode crab!
From the gate I then loaded the second part of the Flightplan and imported it into the FMS at a glance.
(In this experiment I just leaved the engines running the whole time)

I've read about some missing ground equipment these days. Was that you?

If you leave the engines running, you can't re-fuel in the real plane!  Tongue
