Is there a method of creating a file containing the Flight Plan rather than printing it?
The reason for this query is that I am a member of a multiplayer session which 'flies' predetermined flights each Monday night. I have been creating flight plans (.pln) files for distribution to those who fly the routes and it would be good to be able to send them the flight plan for printing.

Also is it possible to set different groundspeeds at each waypoint for correct speeds when say flying below 10000 feet (eg max 250knots). rather than have the same ground speed for the entire flight.

Sorry I must not have expained myself correctly.

I am talking about the flight plan which can be printed out by selecting QUICK PRINT from the drop down menu under 'Flight Plan' (3rd icon from the left on the Home 'ribbon').

The plan printout which shows all the waypoints, Dist, Alt, G.Spd Track Heading Time and all the departure and arrival airport information.

I would like to be able to SAVE that information as a file which then can be printed out by anyone who doesn't have Plan-G

Also is it possible to set an airspeed value to fly over each waypoint. For example most if not all airports have a maximum airspeed when flying under a certain altitude.

Thanks

Print to XPS, or install a PDF "printer" driver

Hi Tim

Thanks for your quick replies which were nor expected during a weekend.

I am able to access files in the mapped drive.

HOWEVER I have solved my problem (of being able to use Commander to create flight planes from a remote PC ). I already have Commander installed on BOTH PCs and have build the scenery database on the PC which also contains FSX SO I COPIED ALL FILES in the FSC9 folder from the PC which has the database built to the PC which is remote from the 'FSX' PC.

I just wanted to be able to use Commander to create/edit flight plans remotely NOT to connect it to FSX when running.
I assumed that the copy would also copy any database which had previously been built and it seems that it did.

Thanks again.
