(.FLT) or (.PLN)

I have been fooling around with the “.PLN” file.

I first noticed that when you open the .PLN file rather than the .FLT file you have much more flexibility.

You can change to any of your planes that you have by changing your plane

in the plane selection box and reloading the file. I liked that.

As far as I know, that is not possible with the .FLT file.

You are stuck with the plane that you built the flight with.

The flight plan itself is more useful although I don't know exactly how that works, yet.

I am pretty sure you can change things around all you want.

It seems a little odd to me that you need two files.

Why not combine all the functions into one file?

I guess they have a reason or they would have done it already.

I have a feeling that that the .PLN file is going to be my file of choice in the days to come.

Is there ever a time when you need to

open the .FLT file rather than the .PLN?

Looking forward to your thoughts.

Have a look at this video I found.

Sums it up pretty well, I think

Great video

That kind of validates what I said.

I noticed this guy has a lot of other videos.

Those videos are geared toward the novice who needs information on how to perform some of the more simple tasks.

A lot of simple things add up to bigger things.

A lot of videos seem to ignore this reasoning and get into the bigger things from the start and make my head spin.

That's great if you already know the little, simple things but not so much for guys like me.

I added this guy to my Favorites list.

THANKS

I am glad you found it useful.

Fly for fun and fly safe.
