FeelThere_Vic Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Yes it is as you can see we are trying to resolve issues. Currently supporting a mod is not our top priority. We will come back to you once we sorted out the more important issues. Thanks for your patience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalonMX Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 But isn't importing a flightplan part of the features of the FT E-Jets and not a MOD? You put the ability to import flightplans but left out the folder during the install. The previous version V2 created a customdb so you could import when you installed it. Why was this left out of V3? I understand you guys are working on fixes but Simbrief and PFPX are popular programs V2 supported. Dan M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelThere_Vic Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 I didn't say we will not look into this. However 16 hours after the initial posting it was bumped again and I wanted to reply. We are scanning this and other forums pretty much 20 hours a day (being international has the advance of someone is always up 🙂 ) but we simply don't have the manpower to acknowledge each and every post by "ok got it" then come back again when it moves on our priority list. To stay transparent we posted a known bug list to keep you updated about our findings, but we also said we wont be able to answer all posts. I hope it makes sense. Thank you Vic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your patience Its not a MOD its part of the FMC importing a flightplan. It worked in the old version im just wondering is it a different file type or format that the FP needs to be saved as. And im not talking about a FS flightplan im talking about native FMC flight-plans that you could save from simbrief in the last version. This is not something anyone els has posted about or I would understand the lack of response. and I created the CustomDB folder myself and it works just when i tried to load the flight plan it said invalid waypoints. I will double check the airac match and try another route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you contacted SimBrief and notified them of the problem that their software isn't working with the _new_ version of the Ejets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty260191 Posted December 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 im asking does the fmc read the same file format and type as the old one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FeelThere Ariel Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Can you please confirm the range for steep climbs? Is it happening with every ejets aircraft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty260191 Posted December 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 I may not have had the same airac installed but i had some issues tonight when setting up gsx doors so had to reinstall and start a fresh. Now the airac is upto date ill let you know if the previous plan works now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antoniointini Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 Not sure if that is the same complaint of the OP. But I would like to suggest you to include, in the manual, the procedure to load external flightplans (ex: Simbrief). In my case, I had to create myself a folder "CustomDB", so I could enter the flight plans there. This folder is not being created by the installer. I only knew this was the solution because I'm a long term v2 user, and used to do this same procedure back then. New users will have a hard time to figure out how to load flight plans, I believe.

Matty260191 Posted December 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 same as with v2 you have to create the folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty260191 Posted December 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 ***UPDATE*** tested a few fp's now I think the problem was I though the airac had updated properly but now i know it has no mismatched issues with way points.

I get what your saying. they should add it but it can also be done by loading a plan into he actual sim then import that into the FMC but again not sure if thats in the manual.

Matty260191 Posted December 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 not my claims just what lad said above. haven't read manual as its much the exact manual of the previous ejets and also only talks about and has perf charts for 175/195.

Matty260191 Posted December 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 yer page 45 great but it doesn't say anything about creating the folder to save imported from PFPX/simbrief plans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
