As it says in the flight deck doc, you have to load both a flight plan AND a flight (.flt) file. So my suggestion is to load your flight plan, set your aircraft and its location, etc, then hit Alt+S to press the "Save..." button in the Free Flight window. Name your flight and press Enter. By convention, the flight name will be in the form "<Departure City or ICAO> to <Destination City or ICAO> <Aircraft>." Once it is saved, hit Alt+L to open the Load Saved Flight dialog, choose the flight you want, and hit Enter.


HTH,

Ok, so I loaded a flight plan in the simulator, set aircraft, weather,
then hit fly now.  Loaded IYP.  IYP said that no flight plan had been
loaded.  Next, I tried creating flight plan after aircraft had loaded.
Then loaded IYP.  Same result.  Using FSX Steam.  Relevant log below:

Not sure why this is an issue, since I see the flight plan I saved,
and found when loading, in C:\users\j-love\documents\flight Simulator
X Files\...  What is causing this issue?
