Flight Plan import

Nenesse

Good evening.
Great aircraft, thanks for work.
For me, a problem with import flight plans. Both methods fails. On both BAE 146 and Avro RJ.
It looks as if FMS could'not read the xxxxxxxx.rte file , manualy put inside the \work\JustFlight\FlightPlans folder.
Is it normal ?
Entering a full route manualy works well.
Best regards.

You can go into the FMS, Index page and the pull the flight plan from there... INDEX > FLIGHT PLANS... I do use SimBrief Downloader to get it to the ... \work\JustFlight\FlightPlans folder, using the 146 format, but point to path to the RJ location... works for me everytime. You can see me doing that on my twitch stream "gadgetfpv"

If a route cannot be imported via the CO ROUTE or STORED FLIGHT PLANS option in the FMS, this suggests that the flight plans may not be being stored in the correct location. The file directory for flight plans does vary between MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024, as well as the store where the simulator was purchased from:

MSFS 2020 – Microsoft Store:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\packages\justflight-aircraft-rj\work\JustFlight\FlightPlans

MSFS 2020 – Steam:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\justflight-aircraft-rj\work\JustFlight\FlightPlans

MSFS 2024 – Microsoft Store:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\WASM\MSFS2020\justflight-aircraft-rj\work\JustFlight\FlightPlans

MSFS 2024 – Steam:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\WASM\MSFS2020\justflight-aircraft-rj\work\JustFlight\FlightPlans

Once a flight plan has been saved to the correct file directory, it will be available for import the next time a flight is started in MSFS.

@Mark Is the 2024 path correct for steam? I don't see this on my 2024 install.

@Jasemelbo Hi Jase

No. My FS24 Steam path does not have a flight plans folder in it as Martyn shows in his post. I also notice that, at least in my case, there is a folder he has missed out in that link. My path is as follows:

C:\Users(my username)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\Packages*Community*\justflight-aircraft-rj\Work\JustFlight.

I have emphasised the extra layer I see.

In that JustFLight folder all I have is a navdata folder. I see no FlightPlans folder. I have added it myself and pointed my simlink downloader there, but the RJ100 FMC still does not find the flightplan.

Martyn

This should be the correct location for the FlightPlans folder if you are using the Steam version of MSFS 2024:

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\WASM\MSFS2020\justflight-aircraft-rj\work\JustFlight\FlightPlans\

That's the one. Martyn just beat me to it!!
BTW - I'm loving this add-on. I'm so happy with it especially with the AIRAC story being sorted out

BBoaBrim

@TrevorWilliam Absolutely. I updated to the new AIRAC today via Navigraph Hub and all is well.

Nenesse

Thanks GADGETFPV and MARK for your answers.
Unfortunately it always do'nt works with me.
Location and path to FlightPlans folder are checked and correct. I check that Simbrief downloader send the
xxxxxxxx.rte file in the right place : \\work\JustFlight\FlightPlans.
But when opening this folder via CO ROUTE, INDEX\FLIGHT PLANS, or STORED FLIGHT PLANS it his empty.
It seams as if the FMS were not abble to read the content of this folder.
Best Regards.

@Nenesse Same. I put the flight plan into the FlightPlan folder but the FMC never finds it.

"In that JustFLight folder all I have is a navdata folder. I see no FlightPlans folder. I have added it myself and pointed my simlink downloader there, but the RJ100 FMC still does not find the flightplan."
Same for me too. After automatic installation no FLIGHTPLANS folder, only NAVDATA.
Idem for both aircrafts BAE 146 and AVRO RJ.

Are you sure that the RTE file is being saved into the MSFS 2024 FlightPlans folder, and not MSFS 2020? The stored flight plans method on the FMS is working fine here using the Steam version of MSFS 2024, and the FlightPlans folder is already there in the location that I posted above.

It might be best to get in touch with our support team via a ticket if that still isn't working for you.

Finally got the FMC to find the flight plan.

Up to now I have been starting FS24 THEN creating a flight plan in SimBrief and placing the flight plan in the folder as directed by Martyn. But when ever I did this the FMC would not find the flight plan.

Today however I created the flight plan via SimBrief and then placed the flight plan into the relevant folder BEFORE starting FS24.

This time it worked. Coincidence? Or perhaps because the game was already running it would not see the flight plan file being placed into the folder. I had to place it in there BEFORE starting the game.
