• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Path to Flightplan files?

Hello all. I am a definate rookie in Mission Developement but I am stubborn and persistant and so far my efforts are paying off. This site is awesome, very helpful and I thank you all for the great information.

I am trying to attach a flight plan to a mission and I want to keep the .PLN file in the mission folder. I see that that my .FLT file has the entry:

[GPS_Engine]
Filename=C:\Users\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files\IFR Bremerton Natl to Olympia
position=N38° 30.96', W121° 29.71', +000027.39

That is clearly the refrence to my .PLN flie, my question is can i make that path relative to the mission folder so that i can migrate this mission to other users and distribute it. The mission relies on the .PLN file heavily and if i were to make it into a cab or zip im not sure that the file would land in the right place on someone elses computer, it would be so much easier to just have the .PLN in the same directory as the rest of the mission files.

Any suggestions?
 
If the file is in the mission directory, simply write:

[GPS_Engine]
Filename=IFR Bremerton Natl to Olympia
