On;y one schedule for now, but it's there. Oh, and call me stupid (more like forgetful), but what is the format used to create flight plans before running them through MRAI?

Excel .csv (then rename to .txt). There's an example in the MRAI "Examples" sub-folder

I don't have MRAI on this computer and the new install I downloaded won't act right, otherwise I wouldn't have asked  |

Sorry.
The separator is a semi-colon.
The field order is:
1) 2-letter airline code (like "PA" for Pan Am)
2) flight number
3) departure airport (ICAO or IATA)
4) arrival airport (ditto)
5) departure time
6) arrival time
7) days
8) equipment.
you can use HH:MM:SS or am/pm format for the time. Format mixing in a file is not recommended.
A sample line would be (for BMI):
BD;0003;GLA;LHR;8:35am;10:05am;123;320

Yes, I find it easier to use Notepad to create a text file separated by semi-colons than to mess with Excel.
Some hints:
Before you try to convert with MRAI, use the "find" feature of Notepad under the edit menu to:
1. search for ";;" Sometimes I inadvertently type two semi-colons in a row. This will cause errors.
2. search for "," Sometimes I mistype a comma for a semi-colon. This will also cause errors.
This allows you to correct these before running MRAI.

Poor old Red Rock is looking lonely! I might have to find it some company  Trouble is I'm stuck further in the past right now!  Paul I use a spreadsheet and export to CSV and then find and replace. It works for me Paul |
