The past few times I've tried to make a flight plan on the DVA Route Plotter, I download the file, open it for FSX, and nothing happens. I am choosing FSX on the Route Plotter page. Any help???

This may be similar to what happens to me. When it goes to save it spawns another window/tab. I have to go back to the other window/tab and select "save" at the bottom.

I use Google Chrome, so I don't have that option.
I just downloaded, but went back to the original tab, and it didn't work.

File a bug, and attach the PLN files it generates. I've noticed this as well.

How do I attach a file?

EDIT: Never mind, I figured it out.

I've found the problem with that specific plan - are there any others that don't work?

Cheers!

Thanks. The first plan had a waypoint at 180E which I suspect messed things up, but I'll look at the others over the weekend.

Cheers!
