jopeek Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 I’ve started doing long haul overnight flights and since msfs has a tendency to give up on itself a few hours before I wake up again, I thought the autosave functionality would be very useful. sure enough, it is dutifully creating saves every five minutes as instructed but when I try to load one of the .flt files in msfs’ world map, it doesn’t actually load any flight data or info. Nothing seems to happen. Am I not doing this right? I found some old threads about this issue but they were from the fall of 2020 and indicated that maybe this had been resolved. Doesn’t seem to be working though… I’m on SU8 and the latest FSUIPC. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowson Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 The load flight function has been broken in MSFS since inception. I'm not sure of the current status as I haven't checked this for a while. From the current documentation, this function is now working. However, there still seem to be issues in the Flight Save MSFS SimConnect function (as well as the Flight Plan Load function), so the problem may be in the flight save file. I will look into this further (next week now) and maybe raise another bug report with Msfs/Asobo. Not much I can do about this in FSUIPC7 I'm afraid, as FSUIPC relies on the corresponding SimConnect functions to do this. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jopeek Posted April 8 Author Report Share Posted April 8 Yeah understood, thanks John. There’s definitely data inside the flt file. I’ll check back here next week or the one after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowson Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 Flight saving/loading seems rather flakey - sometimes it seems to work, other times not, and I have also experienced some CTDs when trying to load a flight. I will check further next week - some of the flt files I am trying to load are probably created by older versions of the SDK, which may no longer be valid. However, as FSUIPC just calls the MSFS SDK functions to load & save flights, there isn't much I can do about this, except report any issues to Asobo. I think this may also depend on your MSFS settings. For example, I'm not sure how live weather (and AI) affect flight loading. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
