When you create and save a flightplan using the fs flightplanner, it saves the plan in a folder (FS2004 - in Flight Simulator Files in My Documents). You can edit these plans with Wordpad. For example,

It's a simple matter just to insert a waypoint into the plan remembering to then renumber the ones that come after it.

I've tried to modify a flightplan as per the instructions/key in FS's Learning Centre but to no avail. It will not load into FS at all.

here's what it looks like so far: (problem areas in Red

note: I've tweaked around a bit (adding, and deleting the +LOCWAY and waypoint name, making small changes to the lat and longs), but nothing seems to work.

any tips/fixes?

I finally got it to work by first making the plan in FSNavigator (with ease), then exporting to a .PLN.
