MSFS 2024 Save FLT files

Do you know how to save flt files? When I open efb and try to save it only allows me to save PLN files, but the popup says you can also save flt files, but how?

Save FLT files from the cockpit EFB.

That is a typo on the screen.

Only .pln files can be saved.

You’re right. Weird though. I could have sworn I saw a SAVE / LOAD FLT File button somewhere. But I can’t find it now.

Man, I have strange dreams! :slight_smile:

When you save the file, put quotes around it. like…“KJFK.flt” this will save it as a .FLT file.

Then when you want to open/load it, type * . * and press enter to show all the files in the folder. The .FLT files will appear.

EDIT: You need to comment out/remove the following line in the file FirstFlightState=PREFLIGHT_GATE (it may say something other than preflight gate)
