John, if you are getting an error message when loading all flight plans, exit PF3, go to your PF3 folder, right-click the PF3_Register.exe file and select Run as Administrator. Wait a few moments and start PF3 and try again.

If some flight plans will load and some won't, go to the folder where your flight plans (.pln files) are saved and find one that won't load, zip the pln file and attach it. Maybe as Dave said there is a problem with the format.

Thanks for trying to help Dan. I did as you suggested and re-'registered' PF3 with 'administrator rights but to no avail. It would be nice if some flight plans would load but none of them will.

Dave - I have already given you routings from previous flight plans. However, just this afternoon, I tried to load EHRD Rotterdam to EGSC Cambridge. The Flight Plan was EHRD EH71 EGSM EGSC. As is becoming usual, PF3 wouldn't load at all.

At the end of the message this time commented; 'FPP error'.

I don't believe this!!! Because I am used to being told by PD3 and ATC what altitude to fly at with IFR, I've been assuming that that will happen when using PD3V4.... It doesn't! You have to enter the sltitude you want to fly at yourself and I've been missing it.

I've just tried to load it again and noticed there's a space to enter the altitude. I put in 5000', got it standing in the parking space ready for taxi, turned on FP3 and immediately the frequencies to enter popped up. I'm assuming from this, PF3 is now working with my P3DV4 simulator!

I suspect you'll join me in thinking; 'Thank goodness for that!'

You can bet your lives though I'll be back with some more problems. I seem to be a magnet for them! :roll: :lol:
