Hi IF Team,
I run am having a problem with the Flight Plans not generating for iFly. Please note I am relating this problem with the installation of a recent iFly 737 NGX CBE Pro Service Pack release 3.2.2. This update required me to redefine the iFly aircraft.

The FSX Flight Plan generates. Selecting the “Fly!” button FSX launches and the iFly aircraft is loaded correctly to the departure airport. When I attempt to manually load the Flight Plan into the iFly FMC it errors, Flight Plan does not exist.

I have confirmed the flowing:
The iFly Aircraft in question is loaded in IF10
The proper export path is defined in Aircraft Setting / Export Files for iFly
Ran the IF10 Setup and Update to prepare the export folder permission
Maintained Indexes

Please see pics

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Ralph

Hi Ralph,

In the lower Export item change "IF.FLTPLAN" to "ICAOICAO.FLTPLAN"

Hi Steve,
Thanks so much for the quick reply!

Made the change, saved it, IF10 Regenerated the flight and problem continues... The file / flight plan is not created.

Have you got the correct path in there since you have changed things?

It can be an issue that you don't have permission to write to that folder. In this case simply run IF10 setup and press Update, that will set permissions on export folders if they are needed.

...check to see the file actually exists in the folder after you rebuild the flight. Remember with the ICAOICAO keyword you get the file name made from the departure and arrival ICAOs.

...Problem continues.
Ran the IF10 Setup. Updated the time on the plan, save it and regenerated the flight plan. Once completed, I always check the destination folder for the flight plan.

[Steve Waite]

so do you get the file in your folder?

[Steve Waite]

...if the file appears in the folder maybe the iFly update has installed to a new location? check in explorer in the fsx folder for the correct path...

Sorry Steve, I was not clear. The file does not get created at all.
I've done file searches on both drives, C & D, based on the extension .FLTPLAN and it doesn't get created.

It worked before the update to the plane, so I would check the path name in the Export window may need changing. Why not delete it and create another so that the folder picker is used to insert the path.
