Please check add-on compatibility before installing - and a thank you to all our content creators for their continuing hard work
Installation -
I have included 2 files in the download zip - extract these to a folder of your choice i.e. 'My Documents'
1) 'Colorado River MSFS2020.pln' file for directly loading the flight plan into MSFS2020
Once in the Sim, go to the world map and click the 'MORE... LOAD/SAVE' buttons at the bottom of the screen, then navigate to the folder containing the '.pln' file and click to open
2) '.Inmpln' file can be opened in the 'Little Navmap' software, for anyone wanting to adjust or add waypoints
This is brilliant, thank you for putting all this together!
