Level-D 767 flightplan converter?
Owners of the Level-D 767 certainly know that the FMC cannot read flightplans constructed with FS9 or a tool like for example FS Commander. However, every once in a while I check and search and ask if maybe meanwhile a converter tool has been developed by somebody? For wilco 767 and FS2002, at least Navigator 4.5 was capable to produce 767-compatible flightplans. It does not work with Level-D's 767 for FS2004, and I do not use Navigator anymore anyway, but FS Commander 7.7.
as the Beta-team for 767 admitted, in real world flightplans usually get uploaded to the FMC, are only rarely are typed in by hand. I consider it to be a minor... irritation. At least it is no fun. So give me a converter, please.

AFAIK one of the updates for FS Commander include exporting to Level-D format.

Grrrr... I need to check that, Im running FSC 7.7, but have missed so far there is 767 compatability.

Damn, 40 years old and I'm already senile - big and centred there are the tick boxes for the various addon planes in the save as-dialogue...
One more question like this and I'll think about burying myself.

As someone who does this for a living, a lot of us still input the flight plan manually into the fmc.I have no experience of the sim version but in real life I do it like this:
1 Input city pair 2 Input rwy and sid 3 From end of sid line select on the left at the last point This should bring up a different page and on the left should be a via/to input box.Enter airway and waypoint. This should bring up in the legs page all the points on that airway to the point you have selected. 4 line select again from the last point with another airway waypoint combo 5 Input a runway and star 6 The route should be complete without anyt discos. This is only about 1/5 of what we do as you also have winds weights and constraints etc to load. If anybody wants any more info pm me. |

Thanks Linton, I know how to do it, and it is exactly the procedure you described, but only a part of the whole FMC preparation. It's just - I'm lazy, you know... Over the months and years I have heared from pilots both things: that their airline wants them to do it manually, and that they are just uploding the flight route. I wonder what the criterion is.
You fly a 767? Good to know, if I ever have questions! If you are interested I could try to put up the FMC-part of the manual so that you can compare what is in the sim, and what not, Would be interesting to hear from a real 767 flyer where the sim is correct, and where it is different. But several 767 flyers have been part of the programming team, so...
