Best thing I can suggest and what I always recommend to everyone who ask how to do things here is "READ THE README"
Ttools Readme by Lee Swordy is very very good and easily explains how to make Flightplans. It is how the rest of us learnt the art, it will take you time until you get good at it but its the best way to learn.

What you can do, and I do it often just to get a plane in a particular place, is copy and paste an existing flightplan from your Flightplans_whatever.txt file and then modify the parts you want to change like the airports or the departure times or the AC#. Then just compile with TTools and voila: you have a new flightplan.its the FP text file I am having the problem with
Rip has got the system nailed though with his program and if I ever get the time to sit down and figure out Exel , I'll be using it.

C'mon Jake, you just have to be an Excel owner, you don't have to do anything else then modify/add some familiar data to some sheet rows ...aerogator wrote:...Rip has got the system nailed though with his program and if I ever get the time to sit down and figure out Exel , I'll be using it.

Rip's does as well but it will also write multiple flightplans both IFR and VFR TNG Tours Home and back all at the same time with one touch of a buttonKevinJarvis wrote:I've been using a flightplan creator that actually writes all 3 text files for you.

Chris, the Beta is now in a veeery mature v0.8. We (Barry and me) just tune last ideas to have everything working (almost) 100% reliable.
A User's Guide should be written, based on the last version, and off you fly to Avsim.com.
If you are so brave to taste the Beta then just drop me an email
