I'm looking for a FSX flight planner (payware) that allows me to save either as .PLN or as .RT. Which is the best one to buy? Undecided
  

My fleet (CS and from others developers):

L1011; B777-200/F; B777-200/F (LR); MD-11/F;B737-600/700/800/900NG; B767-300/200/F/KC ; B757-300/200/F ; C130 X-perience All-In-One; B707-300/300C; B727-100/200; B737-200/200ADV; WX Radar

Flight Sim Commander 9.5 Saves as .PLN, while Professional Flight Planner X saves in both .PLN and .RT.
In all honesty, FSC9.5 is better as the PFPX .RT files are NOT perfect, but PFPX has a neat feature for flight planning that allows me to find the next jet airway I need for my flight the plan!
I feel that the PFPX devs only did a half hearted job on the .RT save format. Sad

Hi everyone,
              Have same problem as Zedenek.I downloaded CoPilot pro thinking I could use it fully with all aircraft including cs aircraft but not so.
             I want to create flightplan automaticly and then have the aircraft automaticly follow the flightplan. The copilot pro does this,but only with fsx default aircraft and not cs add ons. I contacted fs commander but they said their flight plan format did not support cs aircraft,only PGMD and a few others. If anyone knows a flight planner that works well for cs aircaft plz let me know.

Create your flight with CoPilot Pro and save the flight plan as an FS Flight Planner plan (.PLN). My advise is to open it in the FSX Flight Planner and save it again because I think CoPilot Pro saves in the old FS9 Flight Planner format (I should install my copy to verify that) and the CS777 CDU only loads the FSX Flight Planner format! Once you have saved it with the FSX Flight Planner, open the CS777 CDU, and on the RTE page, select SEND > FLTSIM FPLS, and a list of all the Flight Plans available (at least 178 pages worth, because that's how many I have) shows up. Find your flight plan, and select it (selecting it will load it). You pretty sure you need to add a DEP runway and an ARR runway for VNAV to be able work correctly!

I hope this helps
