Hi Grumpy,

I think your wanting to import that .fms file into XP-10 or 11.  The place in XP is the X-Plane directory  under Output/Flight Plans files. Now you can load any FMS file into the aircraft 430 or 530 GPS unit or into the FMC, if aircraft is so equipped with a FMC.  The FMC is a different item and you will probably have to take some time to learn that unit, but it does work.

Here is a guide that I found very, very , helpful when tryng to set up the 530.  Link:  http://www.digitalteknik.eu/attachments/article/2/XP_10_GPS_530_Compressed_Quick_Reference.pdf

It does work with XP-11 also.  See page 20 (Loading An Existing Flight Plan). Notice in the example you will see the .FMS files listed that are in the Output directory for flight plans.
Hope  I have it all correct, doing this from memory.   
Don't forget to switch from Nav 1 to GPS.  You should see your flight path on the 530, and once you hit the APR on the autopilot unit it should track to destination, making turns at appropriate waypoints. Does take a little bit to learn but it will work.

TY Chuck.. i will look into this when i wake up more!

i did a little flight plan and wound up with this .fms file but i cant seem to figure how to import.. did i do the wrong thing?

I tried for 30 mins to figure out how to import... gave up for now

This is a very quick test build. It fixes an error that prevented building the X-Plane 11 database from completing.

It does not include any of the new format features. There's no airspace, and a lot of log file "duplicate" warnings are generated. But it should get you a basic database in X-Plane 11.
It's just the .exe file, so back up your build 123 exe and copy this over the top.

Let me know how you get on. :)

I downloaded this zip and when i unpack and run it just crashes.. do I need something else?


EDIT: (OK i am more awake now and reading better, trying again)


2nd edit: just point it to the xplane 11 exe right?

3rd edit (yep as i tried it)

now to figure out how to make a flight plan! TY TY TY

4th edit: How do you import a flight plan to xplane 11?

Hi all,

1) under "option" and "directories" i specified The X-Plane path
2) under "option" and"connection to FS" i select XPUIPC
3) i try to generate the database but the program loops on "Preparingdatabase for new data" and never gets out !!

Any idea ?
Thanks a lot
Claudio

The programmer needs to get it working for 11, I hope he post's here when he gets it going...

did anyone test that fix? if not I can try i guess? had to reformat and disappeared a while

Where do i find this setting exactly, I cant see anything that sez that
Paul

I do think my copy of xplane 11 came with a copy of 10 so if i need to pre-load something maybe to get it working? Finally figured out how to make a flightplan on the GPS in the beachcaraft Baron 58 and got a couple flights in but would love to plan trips with multiple legs etc.. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

mdavis,
Did you run the Build Navigation Database?  You need to point the data base run to the x-plane.exe.  Also, under Plan-g File/Options/FS Connections; is XPUIPC selected?

Like Tim said, you will get it going, probably just a  minor selection problem. Let us know of any errors  or "won't work areas."

So far the only trouble I have seen in XP-11 with plan-G is at KVPS, ILS frequencys are reversed per runways.   Think I will try out the XP-11 Data, see what happens.

EDIT:  just ran the xp-11 data to Plan-G, first blush do not see any problems. Took me about 5 minutes to run it all in.

Chuck

Chuck? I selected the Xplane 11 exe and ran it for a few hours? what am i doing wrong,, fresh xplane 11 install.. fresh BETA Plan-G client Just sez "Processing, please wait..... Preparing database for new data"     forever

You can download the demo for free.. it should be just like the full version i think

I am new to Xplane and just picked up Xplane 11 and am dieing to get this working!
