gwolb Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Dave, for the FSDiscovery Flight plan to save correctly it has to start and end at a Regular FSX Airport (blue one) and then you should be able to save it as a pln file. After the flight plan is saved, can then share it with anyone that wants to follow along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmrich28 Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 Thanks GW, I've tried that I'm sure but I'll look into it again in the future. If I try it now I'll lose what I have now. btw..I've tweaked the plan a bit in Taz, so we cover a bit more area.(subject to change as always) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwolb Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 This is the actual flight plan for anyone that has FSDiscovery that wants to follow along. http://home.woh.rr.com/wolboldt/FSX/dmrich tour.pln All you have to do is download this file (right click, then "save link as"), put it in your default fsx flight plan folder, and then open this plan in FSDiscovery and thats it. FYI, if you display the entire plan path it will kill your fps. I just open for reference to make sure on plan and then close it. We are using TeamSpeak on the Orbx server: 216.67.224.122:8768 and FSHostClient 1.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
