AC90 Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 Hello, I am trying to import an FMS file by using the Read Disk feature of the CL650. I am using Little Navmap to export to the XP11 fms format. When I select the fms route through the Read Disk page, I get a Bad Parse error. I checked the log file and it says: Bad FMS format: malformed line 4. Does the CL650 not read Little Navmap's format or do I need to use a different format? Alan Johnston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pils Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 Please attach both the FMS file and Log.txt, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your FMS file doesn't look quite like mine when I export as "FMS for X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 12" from the FIle menu in V2.8.7.

AC90 Posted May 24 Author Report Share Posted May 24 I just tried using your method by selecting Export to X-plane 11/12 format from the File menu (usually I use the export key shortcut). Still no luck. Alan Johnston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC90 Posted May 24 Author Report Share Posted May 24 Ok, here is both files. I used your method of using the File Menu's Save as 11/12 format. Alan Johnston IFR Myrtle Beach Intl (KMYR) to Key West Intl (KEYW).lnmpln KMYR-KEYW.fms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The departure and arrival blocks should read ADEP ICAO ADES ICAO Since they are both airports. LNM used `DEP` and `DES`, which are reserved for flight plans that begin or end at waypoints (fix/VOR/NDB/what have you). Might be worth letting the LittleNavMap devs know!

So, I can only conclude there's something in your LNM settings or setup that's changing its behaviour to be suboptimal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC90 Posted Friday at 01:48 AM Author Report Share Posted Friday at 01:48 AM Holy smokes, I got it working thanks to your suggestion. I reupdated the Scenery in Little Navmap and it popped up a window asking if I wanted to change a setting involving the NAVIGRAPH use. I think what the problem was, I didn't update the Navigraph data before I loaded the X-Plane scenery in Little Navmap. I really appreciate the help on this thanks!
