PM CDU Flightplan question

[mpl330]

Hi,

Getting to grips with with the CDU but I'm having problems!
I have the Flight Plan folder on my FS pc shared as fsplans as per the instructions but when I go on the Load/Save FLPN page I can see a folder showing as \\fspc\fs9 which is my main FS Pc FS2004 folder, also shared. When I click the Load FS key it just keeps loading a default Panc flight and when I key the file name both with or without the .pln extension nothing happens

Anyone any ideas where I am going wrong?
Cheers
Mike

Same thing happening to me when trying to load FS9 flight plans...

There is no problem. You need jsut to share the folders correct, both!

Ok - what are we doing wrong?
I have my flight plan folder shared as fsplans and fs shared... Not sure what else I need to share (Netdir is shared too and is ok)..

Thanks
Mike

Sorry, I don't know. It's just the sharing you are doing wrong. You need to give read / write access to all users.
The special things are ever depending of your system, how secure you set your OS.

Ok thanks Thomas, think I will delete and re-share to see if it works then.

Only to show that is not just a bla bla.

oh you are showing off now

Why is it the simplest of things cause us so much frustration!

Cheers

It's just because everyone thinks it has to do with PM software but actually it's only depending on the OS / security / sharing.
I don't have any problems by using Vista 32 / WIN XP Pro and WIN 2000 Pro in my Network for FS & PM. It depends only on the way you setup your OS and then the Network, nothing more.

Hello,

I´ve also no problems here to load FSPlans to the CDU. I use Vista32 and XP SP2 on my different PC´s.

One thing I do is to map the shared Folder FSPLANS to the CDU computer, so the folder reconnects at every time i start the computer.
