How to Use Save and Restore with FSCaptain

[riccardo74]

Ok, in FS9 I follow standard procedure: now it works perfectly.

1) Pause sim
2) save flight via FS9 menu
3) FCDU-->Menu-->Save
4) Unpause sim

All perfect, it was my fault.

Excellent that you could resolve this.

Have fun,

if i use the FCDU outside of FSX to restore, it says Incorrect Save Format.
