Hi,
I am using SkyDemon to plan a VFR flight to be performed in Microsoft Flight Simulator. One of the most important features for me is to set safe altitutes for each waypoint to circumvent entering restricted airspace.
I can export the flightplan created in SkyDemon to
.fpl
and use an online tool to convert this into the
.pln
format, which I can import into MSFS as well as an application called Pilot2ATC.
However, I have now figured out that the
.fpl
file created by SkyVector does not contain the
altitute information
of the waypoints, but only lat and long information. Example:
<waypoint>
<identifier>MISC1</identifier>
<type>USER WAYPOINT</type>
<country-code />
<lat>50.264950</lat>
<lon>12.951460</lon>
<comment />
</waypoint>
Therefore I have to re-enter the altitute information for each waypoint in Pilot2ATC, which is a lot of work.
Not sure if this is a limitation of the garmin fpl format, but I found this the only export option in SkyDemon that I could convert to anything I can import to MSFS and Pilot2ATC.
Does anyone have an idea how I can get the full flight plan from SkyDemon over to the other applications?

I don't think the .fpl format supports vertical planning so that information is not exported along with your route, when you save from SkyDemon.
