conversion from .kml to .pln or .flt files

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]
title=Grantley Adams Intl to Punta Cana Intl
description=Grantley Adams Intl to Punta Cana Intl
type=VFR
routetype=0
cruising_altitude=8500
departure_id=TBPB, N13° 4.48', W59° 29.53', +000164.50
departure_position=
destination_id=MDPC, N18° 34.25', W68° 21.97', +000040.75
departure_name=Grantley Adams Intl
destination_name=Punta Cana Intl
waypoint.0=, TBPB, , TBPB, A, N13° 4.48', W59° 29.53', +000164.50, , , , , , NONE, 0, 0, -1, 0, 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>
        <DepartureLLA>N13° 4' 29.00",W59° 29' 32.00",+000169.00</DepartureLLA>
        <DestinationID>MDPC</DestinationID>
        <DestinationLLA>N18° 34' 14.81",W68° 21' 58.27",+000047.00</DestinationLLA>
        <Descr>TBPB to MDPC created by SimBrief</Descr>
        <DepartureName>Grantley Adams Intl</DepartureName>
        <DestinationName>Punta Cana Intl</DestinationName>
        <AppVersion>
            <AppVersionMajor>11</AppVersionMajor>
            <AppVersionBuild>282174</AppVersionBuild>
        </AppVersion>
        <ATCWaypoint id="TBPB">

            <RunwayNumberFP>9</RunwayNumberFP>
            <ICAO>
                <ICAOIdent>TBPB</ICAOIdent>
            </ICAO>
        </ATCWaypoint>
        <ATCWaypoint id="ETBIG">
            <ATCWaypointType>Intersection</ATCWaypointType>
            <WorldPosition>N13° 19' 35.00",W60° 3' 3.00",+023900.00</WorldPosition>

                <ICAOIdent>ETBIG</ICAOIdent>

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...

Thank you Matthias for your information. 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
