CORTE flight plans and P3D

[SquadronLeader52 12]

Hi

I have just saved a CORTE flight plan in C:\Users\MyName\Documents\Prepar3d Files\AerosoftAirbus Extended. When I typed the file name into the FMC and selected the CoRoute button, I get a message 'Not in Database'..............am I using the wrong file location?...........or perhaps I am missing some of the procedure.

All help appreciated.

open up the file corte.txt and make surethat the cortename is exactly the same as what you are trying to add into the FMC

Forexample if the cortename in the txt file is EDDFLOWW01 and you try entering it into the FMC as EDDFLOWW00 then you will get the message Not in Database. I use p3d as well.

I have updated and corrected this comment in my next post. What I said above no longer applies after the latest update of the airbus.

Thanks Roy

Am I placing the CORTE file in the right file location for AES to read it via the FMC?

Actually I forgot the flightplans were changed with the latest update of airbus X A320/A321...make sure you have updated to version 1.10

The flightplans are now stored in a file such as for example EDDFLOWW01.flp which you can open with a test editor.

The file will show something like this

[CoRte]

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

The location of the flight plan files are C:\Users\username\Documents\Aerosoft\AerosoftAirbusExtended

So for this example you would type EDDFLOWW01 into the FMC.

Have a look in the folder as above for the FLP files in the folder and see if the flight plan you tried to open in the FMC is there.
