Fsbuild-2 Flight Planner

hi,

I have uac turn off and run fsbuild as administrator,when export flightplan to pmdg ngx fm remote pc it shows unable to create(ok to fsx). I have different version of airac on pmdg and fsbuild, will that cause this problem. do I have to pay twice to update it since I run fsbuild on remote pc. thank you

can u teach me how to export flightplan on fsbuild with number for example wmkkwsss001 so ngx can read it. tks

regards
jwang

Assign a drive letter for your remote drive, and it will work.

Sorry, I am not very good with computer. Can u show me how to assign drive letter on remote pc. Thank you.

Jwang

It's easy... open windows explorer and click on 'Computer', then in the menu bar click 'Map Network Drive', select a drive letter and make sure you choose 'reconnect at logon' - you're done and the drive letter you selected will stay the same.

I did what u told me to do, choose drive z and folder \\charlic-pc\program file(86)\microsoftgame\microsoftflight simulator x on my remote pc (It shows on networklocation).But fsbuild still give me unable to create. Did I miss anything. Tks

Now that you have mapped your remote computer to a drive, you need to change the path to z:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\MICROSOFT GAMES\MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR X wherever \\CHARLIE-PC\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\MICROSOFT GAMES\MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR X appears in your fsbuild2.cfg file. It would be a great help to you to rename your fsbuild2.cfg file to fsbuild2.bkp and let fsbuild create a new one when it next runs - then set FS_HOME=z:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\MICROSOFT GAMES\MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR X and any other options you want and save them.

In answer to your earlier question - if you are using Navigraph AIRAC data you need pay only once for a cycle.

DJ

Thanks a lot for the reply, will try later.

I fail again, I have save and set fs_home=z:\program file(x86)\Microsoft game\Microsoft flight simulator x in fsbuild and update to same version of airac on pmdg and fsbuild. but fsbuilf still give me unable to create pmdg 737 fmc file z:\program file(x86)\Microsoft game\Microsoft flight simulator x\pmdg\flighplans\wmkkwsss.rte. anythingelse I can do. thank you

following is the new cfg file after create bkp file

Mea culpa - it's been a while since I played with network drives. Ernie is, of course, correct. Sorry about the misdirection.

DJ

U are properly going to scream at me, I set and save fs_home=z: in fsbuild but still unable to create z:\pmdg\flightplans\wmkkwsss.rte. I recheck the mapping z:\\charlic-pc\program file(x86)\microsoft game\microsoft flight simulator x. Tks

A couple of possibilities here - first, FSBuild "as administrator" and second, make sure that your user on the FSBuild machine has full read/write privileges to the FSX directory and all sub-directories on the FS machine.

DJ

Ok tks for the help and time .

Regards
Jwang

I am going to give it last try before I input it manually to fmc, can u pls show me the following:

1) how to make sure user on the fsbuild has full read/write privilieges.
2) is there anyway I can change the path fm z:\pmdg\flightplans to z:\pmdg\flightplans\ngx

like I say I am not very good with computer, thanks for your help and patience

Sharing across Win7 systems gets a bit complicated. You will need to open the Control Panel go to the Network and Sharing Center and choose 'Choose Homegroup and sharing options' and read the help material; you will also need to change the folder sharing properties.

There is no way I know of to change the path to ...ngx and it is unnecessary anyway. The NGX doesn't care which folder (flightplans or NGX) it uses.
