Hi Ron,
As a few of us have mentioned, there are no IFR files. The only files you need for a flight are the flt, wx, and pln files. If Michelle isn't finding your flight plan, try going through the procedure in the flight deck dock and follow it exactly, no shortcuts.
If that still doesn't work, Robert may have to step in.

Hadi, I haven't changed anything.
But here's what I do to file a flight plan.
1. Alt P from the main menu.
Tab over to country, then press the first letter of the country.
U for United States.
Tab over one more time to state and press the letter P for Pennsylvania. Tab over and press h for Harrisburg. Then Tab over for the gate and I grab the refueling station. Then tab over to the ok button.
Then press E for the Arrival airport.
Then do everything that I did above except for the gate and then once again tab over to the ok button and smack enter on the ok button.
Then Press Alt I for IFR which for some reason isn't taking.
Then press alt h for high alt, then press alt f for find flight, then press alt r instead of tabing over about ten times and set your cruising alt, then press alt a to havin your IFR flight plan show up in front of you then press alt s to save the flight plan.
Then press Alt S to give the flight plan a name and description.
Then if you go to your my documents folder then go to flight plans, you should see the following files about your flight plan.
the IFR or VFR, the FT file, the PLN file and the wx or weather file.
But for some reason the IFR files are not showing up and Michele tells us that a flight plan hasn't been been filed. Should I probably try putting back in my FSX disk one and click on repair?
Do't know what else to do.
Please advise.

You might want to check IYP's manual. you may have forgotten the
procedures to load a flight.
.PLN files=IFR file plans.

Well, I'm not seeing the IFR file.
Even though I file a flight plan, Michele is telling me that there isn't a flight planfiled. Usually in the flight plan folder in my documents, you'll see the ft files, the pln files, the ft files and the ifr or vfr files.
I'm not seeing the IFR files.
HTH.

Hi Ron,
I'm a bit confused.  You say you are seeing a pln file.  That is your
flight plan.  So what aren't you seeing exactly?  When you save the
flight plan, the default filename will start with IFR unless you change
the name.

Hi to all.
I worked on FSX and reinstalling everything yesterday.
Now when I file a flight plan, I see in the flight plan folder the ft file, the pln file and the wx files. But even though when I go to file a flight plan I always use the alt I combo to make sure the flight plan is files as a IFR fligh tplan, the IFR files isn't showing up.
Now why is this?
I even switched to a different airplane to see if I might have installed one of my birds incorrectly.
But still the IFR files are not showing up.
Also, even though I now am also hearing everything I should be hearing and also through the headset's speakers.
I'm still not hearing the audio clicks
For now I just would like to be able to file a IFR fp.
I can try to figure out why I'm not hearing the clicks at a later date.
Thanks for the help.
Ron who's almost there.
