Whenever I try to use DeltaVA Acars Dispatch and i accept the route, I save the route, but when I try to load the route in FSX it doesn't work. Thanks for any help.

You have followed all the steps correctly, when you have loaded FSX and are at the terminal, you have to load the actual flight plan into place. In FSX goto Flights>Flight Planner>Load> find the flight that you saved and double click on it, this should automatically load it into the current flight you are doing.

If you did these steps and it still isnt working, I am not sure what to tell you, a few other fellas have been having that occur also.

Its been so long since I have had problems with that kind of stuff, but it might be as simple as that FSX flight plan folder not having admin priviledges. I would try that also.

Mathew that can happen if there are Oceanic routes in the fplan that FSX doesnot recognise.. i suggest u either get the oceanic route format correct before saving fplan or get a route without oceanic route and then add them manually in the FMC...

I think the problem is because I might be exporting the FSX plan incorrectly. I may release a Build 98 beta that always saves in FS9 format (which FSX can read) to see if this improves matters.

Cheers!

Luke. if the NATS read 6220N 6330N 6340N 6250N 6060N (just an example) its fine with FSX.. any other format and FSX wont take it..

I use this format all the time when dealing with FSX flight plans and it works just fine

LGL UN491 KOKOS UT120 BADUR UN585 REGHI UN480 ETIKI 48N015W 47N020W 45N030W 45N040W 43N050W 42N060W DOVEY N18C SAILE ACK HTO RBV J230 COPES J230 BYRDD J48 MOL

As a matter of fact this is the format I use when I dispatch the routes and I havent had any problems with that yet. I would say it is more of what Luke is saying because when dispatching it is very random when people say there flight plan doesnt load, and I do it the same way every time.

Thanks for your help everyone. I just want to clarify that since I mostly fly the CRJ i'm not doing any North Atlantic routes, so that's not the problem.
