bjratchf 4 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I just updated to 1.17, however now my flight plans suddenly can't be imported into the PMDG NGX FMC. I get a message saying "destination not found in rte... import aborted" - with 1.16 everything was just fine. Any idea what changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsvette12 53 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Yup after an update they have now broken that on purpose - they think its easy to just do it manually - and they will tell you the same thing - I all ready posted this long time ago in avsim so it is what it is unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jibrady 0 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Fails for me also. Used to work OK before this last update. The PFPX program still list PMDG as a location that it can export the flight plan to. So, I think this is a bug introduced by the new update. Anyone else this problem?

PatrickM 49 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Flown from Cologne to Alicante today in the PMDG NGX using the export function of PFPX 1.17 without any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dufflepod 0 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I switched back & forth a few times between 1.16 and 1.17 to compare the flightplans generated. I was exporting from PFPX in four formats: Avlasoft EFB, PMDG, PMDG NGX and MS FSX. It seems 1.17 exports a broken flightplan to <fsx>\PMDG\FLIGHTPLANS and a correct flightplan to <fsx>\PMDG\FLIGHTPLANS\NGX If you delete the broken one from the first folder, the NGX FMC will correctly import the company route from the second folder. Whether it was done deliberatly or otherwise - people aren't going to be happy about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsvette12 53 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Yes I was not happy and They stated its easy enough to do it manually - I gave up on getting it fixed - being on P3D now its not an issue anymore lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcasclimb 0 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Does anyone know if this affects the PMDG 777 also? I would like to update but i've learned in the past to hold off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_auau 5 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 no issues here only with the new ifly 747 that I cant load flight plans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_auau 5 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 issue is resolved for me by using the browse option on top instead of using the browse option on the right hand side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha117 51 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 How is your 'export' setup? This works: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcooke 422 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 The current position on exported PMDG flightplans: B744 (probably MD11 also ) format is incorrect and cannot be imported. The 777 has the option to use its own 777 folder, NGX or Generic locations, it is the generic that has issues so don't use this. For the NGX simply disable the Generic export option ( PMDG\FLIGHTPLANS ) until the issue is resolved. The NGX will use its own dedicated file located PMDG\FLIGHTPLANS\NGX. If you export the generic plan it blocks the NGX from importing at this time, delete the errant file in PMDG\FLIGHTPLANS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasmalai 0 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 PMDG 777 Flightplans: As above mentioned, PFPX V 1.17 changed the way the route data is converted to PMDG. Use as above mentiones the extra 777 PMDG path to export the flightplans. The only issue I have now: I cant request WIND DATA on LEGS page. Any PMDG 777 pilot has the same issue? any workaround?

Regards and happy flying in the new year Alex, LSZH The 777 uses the WX folder for wind data, PFPX still creates that entry, I don't see any change. Only difference affects the PMDG\FLIGHTPLANS format Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teo 0 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I just updated to 1.17, however now my flight plans suddenly can't be imported into the PMDG NGX FMC. I get a message saying "destination not found in rte... import aborted" - with 1.16 everything was just fine. Any idea what changed? Same happens with the PMDG 747X. If you load the flight into the FMC nothing loads up. It used to work before 1.17. Checked the file format on previous exports and present exports and it changed.

srcooke 422 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 The previous RTE version was not fully compatible with the 747 hence the change. ( route pages didn't populate ) Export RT2 'ONLY' to the PMDG\FLIGHTPLANS folder and the 744 will import correctly. NGX and 777 export to their dedicated folders. I would point out that users have suggested the 747 required the RT2 format rather than RTE whereas it is capable of using both in the correct format. Ticket raised.

srcooke 422 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Due to the location of your FSX install try running PFPX as Admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
