Route library file location?
-
Hi Nick,
Love Starship and want to fly longer routes with it but some of the airways, especially around Europe have so many waypoints to add that I find myself skipping some and hoping ATC won't send me direct or that I would quickly have to add that waypoint then.
So I thought I could develop a simple program/script to download the latest simbrief flight plan and export it to the route library for import.
I therefore created a simple route and saved it and tried to find where in the file system that gets recorded but no luck. Not sure if that's something you want to keep to yourself or it's saved in some binary format - not sure.But if it's available in some text format, would you mind sharing the location? At least until you had a chance to add your own import via the floppy (saw that mentioned somewhere here in the forum).
Cheers,

And before I forget again, I think there is also a small bug with the route library on the center display. After having saved the route on a previous flight I selected FMS->Route Library but they were all empty.
When opening the flight plan page I was able to load route 01 though without problem. And when renaming the route it suddenly appeared on the center list as well.

Unfortunately, arbitrary files cannot be saved from Javascript instruments to your computer, so all save/loading of data is done inaccessibly through the library calls that we are provided with from Asobo. I'm looking into bulk route loading from a file, but I'm not sure this would work anymore in MSFS 2024 with its stricter package size adherence. I'm not sure this is exactly what you're looking for, but in the meantime, I am working on better SimBrief route injection into the current flight plan.
Also, I believe what you're seeing in your section message is just the time it takes for the data bus to transfer the flight plan from one instrument to the other.
