nhlking Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Hello, is there a way to autoload your flight plan to Acitve Sky, with autoupdating the route, when you change the Flightplan? Like how it was with the version 1? Best regards Marcel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiloJuliett Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Suggest to just load the "EFB_current_gps.pln" from the sim folder into Active Sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhlking Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 Do you maybe know, where the file is located in P3D V4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewulf47 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 From what I know and have experienced AS always reads the most recent flightplan (in *.pln format) from the default directory C:\Users\<Username>\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Files. As long as you use the "Forward Flightplan to default GPS" option in an A/C profile this will always be the "EFB_current_gps.pln" AS will read that flightplan and also consider all changes therein. So - you don't have to do anything but just make sure the abovementioned option is checked in the A/C profile of use. I have quickly created a short flightplan from LSZR to LSZH and that's how it looks in ActiveSky for P3D V4 without ever having touched anything in AS.

nhlking Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 Tried it yesterday with the PMDG 777, the problem i think i had, when i checked the point, and then updated my approach, the flight plan in the FMC was completly from the start again.

nhlking Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 And i have no "EFB_current_gps.pln file in the Files folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewulf47 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Just now, nhlking said: And i have no "EFB_current_gps.pln file in the Files folder. Are you talking of PMDG FMC and EFB v2? They have no interaction whatsoever. Furthermore I don't think that PMDG does anything with a *.pln file in the default folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhlking Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 Yes, was enroute with the 777, and the point checked. Adjustet my ARR in the EFB, and checked 5 min later the 777 again, at it was flying straight ahead, with the first waypoint, at the top in the FMC.

Of course you don't have the "EFB_current_gps.pln" file in the default location as this is a function of the A/C profile. For "highly sophisticated" A/C like PMDG, FSL and others this fuction is not activated by default in the profile. That's why I mentioned it my answer above. Just activate it and you'll be fine.

Difficult to say why it doesn't on your side... EDIT: just as an additional info: how is your setup? All on one computer or some remote installations on a private network?

I think you need to check the settings for ActiveSky to read the Flightplan over the network. As I use ActiveSky exactly for that reason on my Sim PC to avoid any network issues, I can't give you any advice. Maybe someone else can.

nhlking Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 I think the problem is, that i have not the EFB current GPS file have. Normally, in active sky, when i load a flight plan. I used loading, on the flight plan screen. And then select current file. But at the moment is not standard set. You know what i mean?
