Creating and saving CDU plans without CDU running

[Peter Dowson]

There isn't anything to download as such. vRoute runs as an Application Reference if that means anything to you. It looks like a shortcut but links to the program presumably somewhere on Michal's server.

Oh, right. I don't understand those things. I looked for an update item in the interface, but saw none either, and the version number seems to be the same as before.

If you launch vRoute you should find the option under the Export tab and Export Format dropdown. It's the last entry - Squawkbox2 (Project Magenta).

Okay, thanks. I'll look again, tomorrow.

Best Regards
Pete

Hi Pete,

I'm running v2.0.7.6. Hopefully you'll have the same version.

Yes, downstairs! Just checked -- BUT 1.0.7.5 is the version in use upstairs, next to the cockpit. Only the one downstairs on my Development PC is getting updated.

On the up-to-date one the SBP files generate fine. That might come in useful -- thanks for organising it with the author. As you know I generally use FliteMap, but it is interesting to see and use some of these real-world routes.

Now I need to work out how to get the installation upstairs updated. That's why I was looking for a "check for updates" button or menu item.

Best Regards
Pete

I suspect you need to download v2 Pete. Maybe the old version you have upstairs doesn't have the update capability. Unless that was a typo and you have 2.0.7.5 upstairs?

You can download from here. http://www.vroute.net/content/view/79/52/

It appears the version 1.x.x.x is the non-Premium version. Seems I never installed my paid-for version upstairs!

I've downloaded the proper one now and got that working, but it was a devil of a job finding the right website to get it. Googling finds all sorts of pirated copies and hacks, but not the official site! Even the official review on AVSIM doesn't give the link, and the program itself is no help there either!

Anyway, I got it, eventually -- Thanks for your link but I got your reply too late!

Hi Pete,

I just typed vRoute into Google and the oficial site was top of the list. I'm surprised you had so much trouble but at least you're up to date. Have fun!

Hi Bjorn,

Edit: I downloaded Vroute Premium and tested the export to PM CDU via my LAN for a flight.
WORKED PERFECT

I've been able to export the SBP format file from Vroute Premium to my PM CDU folder, and my CDU can find it in the CO Routes, but I've been unable to load it to the CDU.
Could you please tell me what exactly am I supposed to do (PM CDU successive key press procedure) in order to have it loaded?
Your kind help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Joaquim

In the CDU - set your start airport.
Set runway in use.
Press co-flightplans - choose one - it will go into scratchpad - when back from the co-pln:s page press co-flightplan again to get it loaded.
That is all.

My sim is in the "service hangar" at the moment so cannot give specific PM buttons to press.

Best,
Bjorn

Thanks Bjorn, I've followed your instructions and all seems OK.
