Title: Issue with FSX flights export [Solved]
Post by: James Flack on Aug 01, 2017 23:22
Hi all,


Had about of trouble with ACARS before my flight so had to set up the flight plan manually in FSX.
Basically I had an exception error whilst trying to export.
I didn't take a screenshot but will take and post once my flight is completed.


Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Was this using the flight planner? Were you trying to export to FSX using the button provided after generating a flightplan?

Hi Chris.
That was exactly what I was doing. Will take a screenshot soon when I get home... Providing the issue hasn't fixed in its own!

The error seems to lie within the SimBrief API, the links to the FSX and Majestic Q400 flightplans files are blank!

All fixed!


Turns out SimBrief had renamed some of the variables which ACARS reads. I was however able to update this on the web server so no update to ACARS is required! Let me know if it doesn't work for you but screenshot attached shows it working for me.
