conversion from .kml to .pln or .flt files - Jaro - 12.03.2021 Hi guys, I would need to convert .KML file to .PLN or .FLT file. Could somebody help? RE: conversion from .kml to .pln or .flt files - routeconverter - 14.03.2021 Do you have examples of the formats and a file format specification?

Hi Christian, yes, I have. I sent you the examples enclosed. I sent you PM as well. Best, Jaro RE: conversion from .kml to .pln or .flt files - kumo - 15.03.2021 Hi @Jaro RouteConverter has no problems to read your input files. I fear @Christian requires examples of .pln and .flt files.

Hi Christian, Enclosed I have requested examples of .pln and .fpl files. I sent you my .kml files - examples in my previous e-mail. Thank you for your support.

Best, Jaro RE: conversion from .kml to .pln or .flt files - kumo - 17.03.2021 Hi @Jaro, your BARBADOS.FLT can be opened with a text editor. It is clear text but many variables like aircarft and engine parameters, velocities along aircraft axis and many other things are not related to the main purpose of RouteConverter: To work with tracks and routes Coordinate informations are just departure, destination and pre-planned waypoints: Code: [ATC_ActiveFlightPlan.0] Your file TBPBMDPC_MFS_16Mar21.pln can be opened with a text editor as well. This file contains more coordinates. Departure airport, Intersections/ATC waypoints, destination airport: Code: <DepartureID>TBPB</DepartureID> A big plus: Plain text. So there is a chance to extract coordinates from your files. BUT you requested to convert a *.kml file into .flt and/or *.pln formats. Let's see what @Christian thinks about this...

For my purpose I don´t need to add any aircraft data just GPS data, so the best solution, if it is possible is to convert .kml to .pln it means as a flight plan . The file .flt is a special format generated directly from MSFS 2020, if you want to save your flight in MSFS and reload it later again. File.PLN is mostly used as a flight plan - you import it to MSFS and you flight according to the plan. Please share this information with Christian, if it is possible. Thank you. Best, Jaro RE: conversion from .kml to .pln or .flt files - routeconverter - 17.03.2021 Hi Jaro, I've got two questions

Regarding .pln files, yes you are right about the link you sent. It is .pln file uploaded from external sources to MSFS2020. It´s as a flight plan. I did not tried to minimize .kml files and I don´t know max size of the file could be imported to MSFS2020. I expected all .pln files could be imported, but I don´t know how to convert it. Thank you Christian for your help. Jaro |
