Fsbuild-2 Flight Planner

I made a flight plan from yssy to kdfw. It's a nice quite long trip. But when I saw that Quantas was going to have that route I thought I'd check it out. I was using my PMDG 744. The flight plan loaded just fine in the fmc. But when I tried loading the flight plane in the fs9 flight planner it would not load. I would pick the file, but it would not load. I have ver 4.08. I had some others from yssy to klax that were older (a year or so) and they would load. I opened them up in notepad and it looked fine. I've done other flight planes since I have ifly and they would load. Any ideas what would cause this not to load in fs9?

John,
Well, show the plan (Notepad) that loads (old one) into FS9.1 and the one that does not (new one ver 4.08 FSBuild) for the same aircraft and same route.

I do have the latest navdata from Navigraph. For yssy to kdfw I let fsbuild create the plans. They load up fine in my pmdg 744. These are the files for fs9 that you load from the flightplanner. Unless I'm not waiting longe enough to see if it lets me push the ok button.

John,

My autogen YSSY-KDFW would not load into FS9 or FSX.

Both were .pln type.

FSB Ver 2409

John,

I did another flight plan (not autogen) and it worked ok.
Also, no route line in map.
Using 2409 and 1101 rev2.

Is there a max number of waypoints allowed in a flightplan?

I do not know.

The first one doesn't work because of waypoint # 8

It doesn't like E180 00 00.

Change it to E179* 59.99 and it will work.

The coordinates are correct per the Fsbuild database, just the FSPlanner does not like a longitude
exactly on the IDL.

Regards.
Ernie.
