Can't save flight plan in FMS ?
-
I'm working through the tutorial flight again to test a few things and decided to save the flight plan to save entering it every time. The plan is complete in the FMC including the SID and STAR and approach and no discons. When I go to the Init/Ref Index page I see Save FPL on RSK6 but when I press the button nothing happens.
I'm watching the blahblah\etc\WASM\MSFS2024\justflight-aircraft-rj\work\JustFlight\FlightPlans folder which remains stubbornly empty, and there are no plans listed in the stored flight plans (RSK2).
Anything obvious I'm missing ?
Thanks
(edit - before anyone suggests it as a workaround, I have created the route with the required fuel / pax loads / altitude etc in simbrief, and it imports fine from there - without entering the flightplan I can be ready to start engines now before the IRS have even aligned lol)

I've just run a quick test on my side, and the flight plan has saved to the file directory and is available for selection on the STORED FLIGHT PLANS page.
The file directory where the flight plan is stored will vary slightly depending on which version of MSFS 2024 you have installed, so it'll be worth checking both of the following locations:
MSFS 2024 – Microsoft Store: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.
Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\WASM\MSFS2024\justflight-aircraft-rj\work\JustFlight
FlightPlansMSFS 2024 – Steam: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator
2024\WASM\MSFS2024\justflight-aircraft-rj\work\JustFlight\FlightPlansHowever, the FMS should save/recall the flight plan to the necessary file directory automatically.
The only thing I can think of that might prevent a flight plan from saving is if the "EXEC" key hasn't been pressed after the flight plan has been entered into the FMS. If the EXEC key hasn't been pressed, then the flight plan isn't yet active, and so might not be able to be saved.
