Flight Plan format


Recommended Posts

  • Aerosoft

The flight plans that are stored by the MCDU are in a simple format. Assuming storage of full flight plans is activated (see here: http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/59638-configuration-files/) the flights are all stored in the CORTE.txt file in the \Users\YourName\My Documents\Flight Simulator X Files\AerosoftAirbusExtended folder in this format:

[CoRte1]
CoRteName=EDDFLOWW01
ArptDep=EDDF
ArptArr=LOWW
RwyDep=EDDF07C
RwyArr=LOWW16
RwyArrFINAL=ILS16
SID=SULU8D
STAR=VENE2W
APPR_Trans=NER5L
Airway1=UZ650
Airway1FROM=SULUS
Airway1TO=VEMUT
Airway2=UZ37
Airway2FROM=VEMUT
Airway2TO=BUDEX
Airway3=UZ205
Airway3FROM=BUDEX
Airway3TO=VENEN[/code]

The next flightplan just follows this one in the same format in the same txt file.

Hi,

I have another question relating the flight plan format.

Is there 1 file (CORTE.txt) for all routes?

I will develop a flight plan export module for one of my VA applications.

Is there a file per route (like EHAM-ESSA.txt) or must all routes be appended/replaced in that single CORTE.txt file?

Joshua,

Thanks for your reply.

Another question....

How are DIRECT waypoints configured? (i.e. no airway)

Airway1=DIRECT

Airway1FROM=SULUS

Airway1TO=VEMUT

And another one:

Oceanic waypoints have this format?

5820E = N58.00 E20.00

5820N = N58.00 W20.00

5820S = S58.00 E20.00

5820W = S58.00 W20.00

Yes, currently it works with only one CORTE file as indicated above.

Sorry, not supported at the moment.

Hi,

What is not supported?

Direct waypoints or Oceanic waypoints?

If the first, how is for example this flightplan stored in the CORTE file?

ESSA DKR N872 SVD ALS EEL EHAM

[CoRte2]

CoRteName=ESSAEHAM01

ArptDep=ESSA

ArptArr=EHAM

RwyDep=ESSA01L

RwyArr=

SID=DKR4C

Airway1=N872

Airway1FROM=DKR

Airway1TO=SVD

With the waypoints direct apart from SID and N872

The directs are currently not supported.

The start and end Oceanic waypoints are available in the database, the ones in between have to be entered. As far as we know this is how it should be. Though oceanic waypoints in a A320 are not very likely to be used as the ETOP rating of the 320 is not very impressive, lol.

Thanks.

Agree on the A320 ETOP rating, but they do fly to Madeira, Azores and I guess also to Iceland

CoRteName=EDDFEDDM02

ArptDep=EDDF

ArptArr=EDDM

RwyDep=EDDF07C

RwyArr=

The next flightplan just follows this one in the same format in the same txt file.

May we please have full documentation on the structure of this file?

Hope all will be solved in a Servicepack soon.

Its absolutly annoying that there is no way to import flightplans !

But keep in mind the real Airbus also can't do that. I do not see the issue with entering a few things. It takes minutes.

And how does that look if you export it directly from the MCDU?

that helped:

[CoRte]

FullRoute=0

//Remark: "FullRoute=0" means only airports and airways to be saved. Set to 1, if full route entry is needed.

so i can load both, my and the MCDU saved plans :-)

i was confused that on "FullRoute=1" the MCDU still save the flightplans in the short version.

Hi All,

For some reason I can't find the Saved route in the folder.....Is that normal?

What do you mean with saved route? You mean a flight plan that you saved as company route?

iFlysimX, on almost every question you pose we need to ask more details, we would all save some time if you take a few minutes more to explain in detail what the problem is.

Sorry guys, but how can I import the corte into the MCDU ? :help_s:

Ok I saved a route via the MCDU and I find it in the corte.txt file but I cannot import it.... My fault or is not implemented ?

If so what is the purpose to save a route if I cannot import for a future use ? :glare_s:

Many thanks!

Bye, Max
