Routefinder and .pln files

EHM-1617 Iain:
When I create a route on routefinder http://rfinder.asalink.net/free/ then how do I turn that into a MSFS flightplan that will appear in the FS GPS. Perhaps it can be turned somehow into a .pln file that can be placed into the 'flight simulator files' folder?

At the moment then all I can do is use the GPS DCT to Waypoint command for each warpoint in turn but that is unrealistic. How can I turn the rfinder route into a magenta line for me to follow?

Thanks for the help.

EHM-1539 Pierre:
the magenta line isn't much realistic either for an airliner to follow :)
I suggest to use a FMC, what aircraft are you using at the moment ?
Try this, found it on the web, might be able to convert manual routes to PLN files.

EHM-1555 Kendy:
you can also add all waypoints (Intersections, VOR, NBD) from Routefinder manually in your FS Flightplan, when you don'y use FSNAV.
Of course it takes a while to do this for long flight, but you have the right route (include SID, STAR) in your FS FMC (standard).

regards Kendy! ;)

EHM-1617 Iain:
Wow that file you suggested is amazing maabaa, i suggest all who cannot afford FSNav (like I have just decided) should give it a go, filename spf3pr.zip at avsim.

EHM-1539 Pierre:
Glad it helped, have fun ;)
