How to specify folder to save .pln flighplan


Recommended Posts

In MSFS the active EFB Flightplan in *.pln format (EFB_Current_gps.pln) should be stored in: "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState"

That's where MSFS is reading flight plans from. This path is automatically set by FSUIPC7. There was however a bug in FSUIPC/ V13, where this path was erroneously set to "..../LocalCache". This bug was corrected in V14 of FSUIPC7.

This path is also stores in the Sever Settings under:

[SimulatorMsfs]

..

..

FlightplanFolder = C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\

 

I have no idea however why the default FlightPlans shoud be stored in: ...users/onedrive/documents

It should be noted that EFB SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED INTO OneDrive! This is not a vaild installation path for EFB and proper function is not guaranteed. See also FAQ: https://forum.aivlasoft.com/topic/2951-win10-onedrive-cloud/#comment-17906

MSFS reads the flight plan from wherever I tell it to read.  I have multiple SSD/NVME drives and very carefully place programs and data where I want them.  The program should give the user explicit control of where everything is stored.  I want NO user stuff on my C (windows) drive. 

 

I am on day 3 of a 30-day trial - IF I uninstall ALL the AivlaSoft stuff and then reinstall - will I still have 27 days to continue the trial?

This might be correct as long as do it manually via the MSFS GUI.

But unfortunately it cannot be selected when forwarding a flight plan via the FSUIPC interface. Using the interface the flight plan MUST be copied to the folder mentioned above by lonewulf47. This restriction cannot be circumvented.

Yes.
