jspringe Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 I am trying to figure out how to get the path/filename of the currently loaded flightplan. I see offsets for the current AIR (3C00) and FLT (3F04) files, but not the PLN file. Anyone know how to determine the path/name of the current PLN file? Thanks, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jd Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 since you can get the .flt file name, you can read the .flt file, and look for [GPS_Engine] Filename=F:\jdekker\Documents\Flight Simulator Files\ktpa-kmlb then you can open that file up, and read the flight plan jd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jspringe Posted July 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 JD, Thanks so much! I didn't realize that the flight file contained the path to the selected pln file. That helps me tremendously! Thanks again, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jspringe Posted July 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Well, except that it didn't quite work. The problem is that the FLT file only contains a reference to the PLN file if it was created before starting the flight. If you create a flight without a plan and then use the FlightPlanner menu option this does not "re-save" the FLT file with a refernece to the PLN file. So, I still have no way to find out the current flight plan information. Any help? Thanks, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jd Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 all my flt's have pln's. i just assumed others would do a .pln before saving a .flt jd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TweakFS Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 If a PLN was already loaded and the FLT was saved then that PLN will be recorded in the FLT file. However, I think what Jason is saying is that he needs to detect the PLN in use, even if it was loaded after the launching/saving of a flight or while a flight is in progress. The PLN is loaded in the GPS right?
