Fsbuild-2 Flight Planner

I have selected the option to Export to FSX (xml). FSX will not load fightplans created this way.

But it will load flightplans exported to FS2004/FSX (which unfortunately go into another directory).

Problem is my addons REQUIRE fsx (xml) format to import into their CDU.

First time I have seen this. If memory serves me right I used to have no problems loading FSBuild plans into FSX.

Thanks

What version of FSBuild are you using and can you give an example of a flight plan that will not load? The full flight plan would be very helpful.

Using latest version...

Export to FSX (xml)

This flight plan cannot be loaded by FSX but IS read by the CS777 flightplan import on FMC

If you change this line "<DeparturePosition>GATE 7 -- GATE MEDIUM</DeparturePosition>" to "<DeparturePosition></DeparturePosition>" the plan will load perfectly. In order to prevent this sort of problem open the file fsb_pref_rwy.txt in notepad and delete the entry on the CYVR line that reads "GATE 7 -- GATE MEDIUM" under the heading "FS2002/START POSITION". That gate doesn't exist in FSX and so it refuses to load the plan.
