Here is a flight plan from KATL to SEQM built-in PFPX and also in Simbrief giving the same error. I've never received the "not a valid PF3 v3+ file" error before and it is also the first time that I've attempted a flight plan to SEQM. My assumption is that there is an error in the nav data somewhere?

At what point do you get the error? I've just loaded both your flight plans into PF3 without any problems.

Strange, I get it when it is going through the compiling flight plan process. I get it with both flight plans. Running Windows 10 with latest patches and am running as Admin. Attached is a screenshot of the error.

Not that it helps much Dave but I can load both flight plans just fine. Windows 10 64bit fully patched with latest version. Get a warning about waypoints being too close but that is all.

Did you recreate the error before sending this file because this one looks like the flight plan loaded okay?

Then the mystery deepens because I'm still getting the same errors on both flight plans when I sent you the debugs. FYI - I just loaded a different flight plan for today's flight and no issues (KATL - KLAS). Any other ideas?

Okay, please recreate the error again and then attach the *.FPP file which you'l find in your PF3\Flight\FPP folder

I've built and recompiled the KATL-SEQM FP in PFPX using today's plan from FlightAware and got the same error. .FPP file attached
