Help required : Export Flight plan to GTN 650

[OscarDelta77]

Hi,

Before purchasing, i'm looking for an option that led me to Ideal Flight : Export Flight Plan to GTN 650.
I can't see how to do this. I didn't founbd any export menus ...

Any help ?

Regards,
Oliver.

You will need to use the registered version IF Pro or IF >augmented to export those files.

In the flight generator page there will be an export button. You can make two export items for the GTN, one is the .flp containing the plan, the other is to reset for the user data. With the GTNs and plans that incorporate waypoints not included with the GTN navigation database, Ideal Flight export system sets the GTN up each flight for the new set of user waypoints and includes them in the plan (if we want). Since we fly anywhere and everywhere with Ideal Flight, the waypoints in use by the Ideal Flight planner can be from the sim data and any AIRAC we choose (if we want) AND we can be sure to make reliable plans every time.

Ok, thank you for your explanations.

Sometimes i fly online with some friends to discover France . One of us creates a filght plan, with some user waypoints (Historical, geographical ...). Exported from P3Dv4, i can import these flightplans ... But waypoints are not seen by GTN. they are locked ...

If i Import this p3d flight plan in ideal flight, and then export it to GTN, will my waypoint be ok in my GTN ?

[Steve Waite]

Yes.
Several types of plans can be dropped onto Ideal Flight. The unknown waypoints are made up into a fresh user waypoints database each flight so that waypoints of similar names can be used over again in other places.

Ok. So I',ve just bought it.

My first attempt : load a flight plan : LFAK to LFOE ...
IF Doesn't know LFAK ... I was said to maintain indexes ... I did it ...
Still the same ...
Mayday ...

Sorry, not understanding you...

[Steve Waite]

LFAK does not exist in P3D. Have you got LFAK installed as an addon?

[Steve Waite]

With P3D we have to install scenery and then run P3D first, so P3D installs the scenery, then after that run IF and it should see you have new scenery and invoke you to re-index. In the Flight gen page choose the scenery report and see if the scenery is installed.

[Steve Waite]

...if that's not working let me have information about your LFAK scenery and I can look into it.

...the version of IF Pro in the Flight 1 wrapper is old, please install the latest version from the Ideal Flight download page.
