Update 2.3. #137

Today we have released a new update v2.3.137. Please read this information carefully.

 

MSFS - Loading flight plan to GPS
With MSFS System Update 11 (SU11) and Aircraft & Avionics Update 1 (AAU1) unfortunately parts of the GPS-Flight plan handling logic have been changed by Asobo/WorkingTitle (WT). Therefore, it seems that it is no longer possible to load the flight plan "EFB_current_gps.pln" automatically (using FSUIPC7) to one of the default GPS-Systems like G1000/3000 and/or GNS430/530, neither before the flight, nor while in flight.

 

We regret this very much but we do not have a chance to change this behavior of MSFS. It seems to be the intention of Asobo/WT to no longer support this part of the interface although it is still described in the SDK. Maybe somewhere in the future, with one of the next MSFS-Updates it will work again, but we simply do not know this at the moment.

 

However, with the latest EFB update 2.3.137, it is still/again possible to load the "EFB_current_gps.pln" file in the world map of MSFS before your flight take place. This way a flight plan can be created in EFB and then loaded to MSFS.

 

Because we cannot anticipate whether loading the "EFB_current_gps.pln" via FSUIPC7 has an impact on the behavior of the GPS-Systems, and if it has, what kind of impact it will be, we recommend to temporarily suspend this function as follows:

 

  1. After first time running the Server v2.3.137, quit the Server.
  2. Running and exiting will create a new line in the file "serverSettings.txt" which is located in the folder "Settings" in the Servers data structure.
  3. This new line reads as follows:    DoNotLoadMsfsGpsPlanToSimulator = False
  4. Change the value from 'False' to 'True', and then save the file.
  5. Now start the Server and it will still create the file "EFB_current_gps.pln", but it will no longer load it to the MSFS simulator.

 

Resetting the value from 'True', back to 'False', will reactivate loading the plan to the GPS-system via FSUIPC7.

 

GTN750 from PMS50.com
If you are using the GPS-System 'GTN750' from PMS50.com (premium version only), we have implemented a possibility to get a copy of the "EFB_current_gps.pln" as "fpl.pln", whenever the flight plan in EFB has been changed.

According to the PMS50 documentation the file "fpl.pln" must be located in the folder "..\Community\pms50-instrument-gtn750\fpl\gtn750".


In order to tell EFB where the fpl.pln file has to be saved, you have to manually edit the file "serverSettings.txt" which is located in the folder "Settings" in the Servers data structure. To edit the file, use any text editor like Notepad.exe or similar. Open the file and search for the line which starts with "Pms50Gtn750FplFolder = ". After the equal sign add or copy/paste the absolute path to the folder "..\Community\pms50-instrument-gtn750\fpl\gtn750".
