What PMDG format to export to for PMDG 747 v3?

[Cloudster 16]

I am using a PMDG 747 v3 with P3D v4, under PFPX export options, there are nothing specific for PMDG 747. So should I choose PMDG Simulations RT2 or RTE?

Use a .RTE format, you could use the NGX or 777 either from the P3D option or FSX. Just browse to the correct folder for the 747.

EXTRACT from the 747 manual

 

Flight plan file management:
In SP1 we have added additional functionality to the way that flight plan files are stored and retrieved.
Flight plan files for all PMDG products are saved in the PMDG .rte format and are located in the <P3D Root Folder>\PMDG\FLIGHTPLANS folder. In the original release of the PMDG 747-400, flight plan files were located either in this folder or in a subdirectory (<P3D Root Folder>\PMDG\FLIGHTPLANS\747) that is created automatically.
In SP1, the system is able to load or save flight plans from any folder in the PMDG\FLIGHTPLANS folder. This includes subfolders already created by other PMDG products (such as the PMDG 737NGX) or folders created by the user. You can create any number of additional folders to arrange your flight plan files in any way that is convenient, for example, by airline routes, short or long range, destinations, local or international, and so on.
