Flight Plans for IXEG 737


Recommended Posts

HI prdant,

I just went through the voodoo of flight plans where one of my .fpl wasn't recognized- very annoying. The following worked:

So, I went to RouteFinder for the route, copied and pasted the route to Notepad++ and saved it directly to the coroutes folder. It even saved it without the .txt extension.

I hope this helps. Note RouteFinder and Notepad++ are available as free items.

Make a flight plan on SimBrief and download in IXEG format-there are  al least 3 different .fpl formats - it is not only extension :)

I second that. And use the SimBrief downloader application to export the plan in the right format to the right folder. The IXEG 737 is specifically supported. Both are free and fantastic, so if you like them, give the dev a donation, and fly on...

I am sorry to bother again with this topic but...

My problem... I fly X-plane 11. I usually ( for mid or long range flights)
export the flight plans from Simbrief.com and load them into the FMC via
the Coroute function within the FMC. I have seen that Simbrief has an
specific format for the Boeing 737-300 IXEG but... where do I have to
download the flight plan from Simbrief? In which format?
I have even created a Coroute folder in the main root folder of the plane (since there is none created)
but even then I get a message of "No Coroute folder found" from the FMC.
I would be extremely thankful if you could tell me how to export / load
simbrief's flight plans into the plane's FMC.
Thank you very much in advance
Looking forward to hearing from you
Javier

1. folder name must be 'coroutes' (the installer does not create it automatically, you have to create it manually within the aircraft 737 root folder)

 

2. On siembrief, do all your planning as usual

2.1 Then Generate de Flight Plan

2.2 Then clic DOWNLOAD FMS button (i do select manual files but you may use the downloader tool)

2.3 Then clic DOWNLOAD button for the IXEG 737 Classic and select your /IXEG 737 Classic/coroutes/ folder for the destination

2.4 On the Aircraft (minimal steps from cold and dark for testing purposes)

2.4.1 Battery ON

2.4.2 AC power ON and feeding the BUSES (via APU or GPU)

2.4.3 Set both IRS knobs to NAV

2.4.4 On the FMC enter the POS INIT

2.4.5 Clic RTE page and type on the scratchpad the FILENAME without the .fpl extension and clic LSK2 (left soft key 2 to import)

2.4.6 Select departure runway and sid, select arrival star and runway (these are not part of the export, you have to do it on the fmc)

 

hope this helps

 

EDIT -- IMPORTANT NOTE:

make sure you use the same navdata cycle on simbrief and on the aircraft FMC, otherwise simbrief may suggest an unsupported flight plan

Hello mmerelles,

Thank you so so much for the help and really detailed information. 

I have tried your suggestion today, and it works, I could export the simbrief´s flight plan and it was recognized, after I created the coroutes folder as you said.

Besides, yes, I use Navigraph, and the AIRACs in simbrief and the plane were was current one, 1907.

Thanks a lot again :)

Javier

Actually i am having this problem, the coroutes folder is not there. I purchased IXEG about 5 days ago and after reading the manual and exporting a fpl, there is no such folder. I also made a new download from x aviation and did a fresh installation, but still no folder. How can this be solved? Check attached screenshot

create a folder called "coroutes" inside the IXEG folder.    Page 12 of the "interface guide" in the documents folder describes more detail on using the coroutes feature

Thanks
