Fsbuild-2 Flight Planner

Hi Jim,

Can you do what Ernie has suggested & generate an FsBuild iFly747 Flight Plan & then generate the same Flight Plan manually in the 737, then send them both to Ernie.

I ask this as I want to buy the 737 but only when I can use FSBuild with it.

Thanks
Nigel

Hi Nigel,

Yes, I can certainly do that. However, I'm not certain that the FSBuild-generated fllight plan is the entire problem. There may also be issues with the navdata and SID/STAR files.

Nonetheless, if Ernie wants the info I can send it to him.

Hi Jim,

Yes I think that may be a good start.

I only know what was going on before they took the iFly forum private.

People were saying that manual FMC input was ok but the FsBuild iFly747 generated routes didn't work.

So if Ernie compared the two & modified it accordingly the iFLY 737 should at least then be able to accept an FsBuild flight plan.

Then I can buy the 737.

I hope Ernie's reading this, Hello Ernie.

Thanks
Nigel

sure , send me a few examples you know work in the in the 737 with no problem.

We can at least see if there's any differences and run a few tests and find out for sure.

Regards.
Ernie.

I'll zip a couple and send in a day or so.

Thanks Jim,

Best Regards

Ernie,

Email with flight plans and iFly 737 documentation sent this am.

Jim Harnes

I took a look at it over the weekend.

Only difference I saw was the aforementioned extra waypoint column.

Regards.
Ernie.

Hi Ernie,

Thanks for looking.

Can you possibly build this into FsBuild so we can just import direct into the FMC like the other a/c.

Thanks again
Nigel

I've asked iFly support to bump this to the developers.

Ernie,

iFly support is posting that you have a fix for this and will include it in the next build. Correct?

Thanks,
Jim Harnes

Ernie?

Jim Harnes

Will we see a fix so that FSBuild can export to the iFly 737?

Jim Harnes

Don't want to be a nag on this, but sure would like to know if a fix is possible.

Thanks,

Jim Harnes
