Fpln backup
-
Given that in my opinion the Starship should be awarded as the best plane of all time in MSFS I have a curiosity:
Since I create and save flight plans what happens if a reinstallation is required?
Is it possible to make a backup of the data or copy some files of the plane?
Thanks

All flight plan data is stored in Asobo's magical cloud, as this is the only form of state saving available to me from JavaScript. This should persist across reinstallations, and possibly even follows your Microsoft account across different computers, but I've never tried it. It's possible someone has found where these files might be cached locally, but I also have something you could do...
I've been meaning to get confirmation of whether this works without Developer Mode enabled, or the SDK installed, but you could try going to "http://127.0.0.1:19999/" in your web browser. When the aircraft is running, look for the blue link with "CDU" in the name, then click on the "Console" tab. If you then go to the Read/Write Diskette screen on the CDU, and insert the floppy disk, you will find an option to write all your flight plans and other user data to the console open in your browser. You can then backup your flight plans by copy-pasting.
