Post subject: | I can not use flight plan converted |
Hello, I always use PFE in this way: first I create a flight plan with FS Commander, FSX/FS9 build in flightplaner or use an online flight planner. After that, I open the icon proflight emulator and press convert FS FP to PF2000, And then I chose the flight plan I want to convert. It generates a file that its name starts with PFE. However, when I am on FSX/FS9 and choose the converted proflight plan as flightplan (the one that begins with PFE), nothing happens because the departure/arrive airport does not change to the flight plan I chose. Looks like FS9/FSX does not recognize the PFE flight plan. Of course I can use the original flightplan but looks like it gives problems like PFE thought that I am off the course. Thank you. |

The PFE_*.pln file is intended for Pro Flight 2000, not for FS9/FSX! You can use "Adjust FS FP for PF2000" in PFE and select the select pf2000*.gps file to convert this file back into a flight plan usable by FS9/FSX. |

Sorry ,English is not my first language, would you care to explain again? The problem is that when I choose adjust FS FP to PF2000 it opens a window of several *.gps files. But I can not save any flight plan file in this window. What does this *.gps files do? Thank you. |

I try to use an example flight from EDDG to EDDL in FSX:
EDDG HMM XAMOD EDDL The .gps file contains just the three lines EDDG, XAMOD and EDDL. HMM was removed by Pro Flight 2000, because it is too near to EDDG. PFE uses the .gps file to know that it has to remove HMM, too, to give you a flight plan that is identical to what Pro Flight 2000 uses. |
