• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

G'day Don

I am wondering is there a way to delete all flightplans from the flightplan list that are for a particular region using the AP ID and a wildcard. I have duplicate GA traffic as I am using two traffic files and I want to delete only the Australian traffic visiting any Y*** airport from one of the flightplan.BGL files, thus leaving all the other nations traffic intact. Aiming for an Australian GA traffic file and an other nations traffic file.

Cheers

Andrew
 
If I had this problem, I would open the flightplans.txt file in Excel where I could 'sort' the schedules by the airport names and delete any containing Y***. There may be text editors that could manipulate the same file in a similar way but I do not have any of these.
 
Nothing to do that directly. But, I'm not sure FP deletion is what you want, since any given flight plan that incudes an Australian airport may also include destinations to other countries. That being said, you might be able to accomplish the task with Flight Plans/Subset and a little imagination. Also, if there's not too many "Y" airports in the flight plans, you could use Fight Plans/Find/Replace to identify each specific airport and the do as you wish those FPs.
 
Hi Don,

The subset option was the best. I am only manipulating GA files not International carriers so this has worked well.

Cheers

Andrew
