Maybe it is because I am of "the older generation"...  with my flight plan loaded I get msg must load pilot but I cannot locate the two provided by the program. So.. I need to know how to!

Thanks for the feedback and for flying with FSFS!

I am not sure why this has happened on your PC - there could be several factors - but as a fast track to a solution, I have included the 2 standard pilot profiles as attached files with this post.

These files must be placed into the correct folder in FSFlyingSchool. In a default installation, this is:

C:\Program Files\FSFlyingSchool\PilotRoster

...but this folder may be different on your PC if a different destination folder was chosen by the user during installation.

So... locate your PilotRoster folder and put them in there. If they are already there, please rename the existing files and place the new files in there.

Let us know how you get on.

Further ref unable to access 2 x default pilots in FSFlying school

I renamed the original files present in my default folder,

(D:\ProgramFiles\FSFlyingScool\Pilot Roster) and installed

those in your forum reply. Clicking on these new files

produces,".........not a valid win32 file"

I think something must have gone wrong when you installed the PLT files from this forum.

When you run FSFlyingSchool for the first time it will look for the LightSpeed.plt file in the PilotRoster folder which is inside your FSFlyingSchool EXE folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\FSFlyingSchool\PilotRoster\LightSpeed.plt or D:\Program Files\FSFlyingSchool\PilotRoster\LightSpeed.plt). 

Maybe the problem you originally experienced was due to the fact the current Pilot needed to be saved before you could "Connect" to Flight Simulator? 

Please try this:
* Load FSFlyingSchool
* Select the "Pilots" section
* Press the "New Pilot" button
* Enter a name for the Pilot (e.g. DWIGHTWIGGINS)
* Press the "Save Pilot" button
* Enter a new filename in the popup window (e.g. DWIGHTWIGGINS) and press "Save Pilot"
* Load Flight Simulator
* Press the "Connect" button in FSFlyingSchool

Let us know if it worked!

Thanks,
John
