Hello Hello......Is there anybody out there. 

To the point.  I recently found an old copy of MSFM2002  in the back of a box where I put it in 2002 after my then computer failed miserably to run it at anything like acceptable FR.     Rediscovered I could not resist the urge to fire it up and see what I had missed.  Now of course everything Is running like a dream,  maxed out the graphics are sleek as a seal pup under an arctic December moon.  I had a little sim experience in the mean time flying IL2 but MSFM has all the navigational complexity that IL2 lacks and Ive spent the last few days Updating airports,  meshes,  planes, discovering VORS, VFR, IFR,  installing AI and generally poking about long dead forums and reading ancient Aramaic posts on websites overgrown and reclaimed by mother nature.

So my questions are. 

1.  Is anybody out there.
2.  Feel like helping someone so behind the times out ?


If so.

3.  I installed FS navigator and when I create a flight plan I export it to MSFS2002 flight plans.  Then I Call up the plan from an airfield via pressing alt the planned route goes great and the ATC and IFR works fine but all of the altitudes I created In FS navigator disappear and I'm just told to climb to  (whatever was the highest waypoint in FSnavigator) and then I'm only told to descend when I'm approaching my landing.  Why do the way point altitudes not follow from FSnavigator to the sim.?

Hope that made sense..... If not...her is what Im trying to do....

Create a flightplan in Fs navigator say   Glasgow to Inverness.....  flying At different altitudes as I fly a route over different waypoints( with different altitudes)  using IFR.   


I will leave it there and cast this missive onto the stormy ocean of bits and hope someone out there is still like me looking to the past.  Thanks in advance..

I kind of thought that might be the case but upstanding citizen of good account I thought I would post here first knowing not knowing how the rules would be applied.  (see Porto's second goal tonight)   Thanks for letting me know.  I will desist from intruding upon  the other forums for a day or two and then give it a whirl if nothing turns up here.  Thanks again.

Hello Ribi...

Hagar has just given me the heads-up on this...

I have been using FS Navigator on all my Flight Sims, FS 2000, FS 2002, FS 2004. But I only use it as a GPS moving Map containing my flight plan for my low level VFR General Aviation Aircraft and to obtain various Radio Frequencies en route.
Nothing more complicated than that.
I don't use high altitude, Commercial Passenger Jets in any of the Sims, conforming to strict rules, so my use of FS navigator is for simple, general purpose navigation only.

...sorry... ...!

Paul...G-BPLF...FS 2004...FS Navigator...and a Compass... ...!

Ok.    I will give this a try and see how I do.  Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply so rapidly.  Fair restores my faith in human nature.  Sure i will be back with other questions and hope they are all meet with the same willingness to help.

Again thanks....

correct Foz.  Make sure that if you want to use airports that you double up the airport as I did in my earlier post.  If you want ISEC (intersections) make sure you double those up.

the reason why you double up, is just so each leg has an END OF CLIMB , and BEGINNING OF DESCENT somewhere in each leg so that you can go up to FL200 then back down to 4000.

hehe, I see the NASA Vomit Comet coming to mind on this one... LOL
