Aerofly Missionsgerät

The Aerofly Missionsgerät converts simulator flight plan files for Aerofly FS 4 (main.mcf and tmc), Microsoft Flight Simulator (pln), X-Plane (fms), GeoFS (geofs.json), and Garmin / Infinite Flight flight plan files (fpl).
For more information see the Missionsgerät's instructions.

Step 1: Load flight plan file

The Missionsgerät imports Aerofly FS main.mcf, Aerofly FS tmc, Garmin / Infinite Flight fpl, Microsoft FS 2020 pln, X-Plane fms, GeoFS json, SeeYou cup or gpx flight plan files, as well as SimBrief flight plans.

Step 2: Set up flight plan

These settings are only relevant for Aerofly FS 4 flight plans.

Step 3: Check flight plan

By activating the Mapbox map you consent to the integration probably sending personal data across the internet. Please reload the page after activating Mapbox.

Use Shift + Click on the map to move waypoints.

Step 4: Save converted files

The Missionsgerät exports Aerofly FS tmc, Microsoft FS pln, X-Plane fms, GeoFS json, or Garmin / Infinite Flight fpl flight plan files.

See the Missionsgerät's instructions on how to install the mission files into Aerofly FS4.

It also generates a Markdown file containing a textual description of the flight including weather data, as well as a GeoJSON file.

Settings

If you get yourself a (free) CheckWX API key, the Missionsgerät can fetch the current weather for you.

In expert mode additional controls will show up in this application. There will be more weather options and speed settings, as well as more export file formats.

On loading SimBrief flight plans, the origin weather gets automatically imported. You can change this behavior to fetch the destination weather instead.

Press CTRL+SHIFT+R to check for updates.

Press CTRL++ and CTRL+- to change text size.

Fligh plan help

  • Naming a waypoint with two digits and an optional R, L or C converts it into a runway.
  • Naming a waypoint with five letters will convert it into a named fix.
  • Adding a frequency to a waypoint will convert it into a VOR / NDB.
  • Adding a frequency to a runway will convert it into an ILS.

Too sharp curves will result in the waypoint being converted from fly-by to fly-over. If you see strange lines appear on your flight plan, your waypoints may be too close or the speed is too high.

Use Shift + Click on the map to move waypoints.

Navigation help

Using flight level separation will convert all altitudes in your flight plan to the correct altitudes needed for separation.

Switching between separations repeatedly will increase the altitude, because separation will always round up to prevent a flight plan hitting terrain.

You may want to set the magnetic declination manually by subtracting the magnetic heading from the true heading to get the magnetic declination.
