Route Details: Importing Flight Plans

SimRoutes consists of a powerful Route Parser that can take your simple text based route and extrapolate it into a complex and dynamic flight plan containing very detailed information about your entire route. As a result of this information, SimRoutes can now dynamically generate flight plan import files on demand. These files may then be loaded into your favorite third party add on application and save you valuable pre flight time.

SimRoutes currently supports flightplan import files for Squawkbox 3, Wilco's 767: Pilot in Command, and the Level-D Simulations 767. Users of FSInn may load the Squawkbox3 files into their software at this time. SimRoutes is currently working on expanding this feature to support the PMDG (Precision Manuals) suite of aircraft, FSNavigator, Phoenix Simulation Software aircraft, and the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 and 2004: A Centure of Flight formats.

How does it work?

From the Route Details page, click on any of the Import links, SimRoutes will create a dynamically generated flightplan import file in the format you selected and then send it to your browswer for download. When your browser asks what to do with the file, select "Save to Disk".

Refer to your third party application documentation to determine the location these files should be saved, and the method used to import these files into the various applications.
