I am trying to figure out a way to wirelessly transfer SkyDemon route to G1000. For that purpose I have purchased Toshiba FlashAir SD card which allows you to wirelessly transfer files to/from your mobile/tablet device. 

My idea is to create a flightplan in SD, go to Route/Share, choose FlashAir app (or FileBrowserGO to save to network drive) and see if the flightplan will be loaded onto the device.

However during the export only two files are created:
- text.txt
- MyRoute.flightplan

Text file mentions that GPX and FPL formats should be saved as well:
"The route is attached in native SkyDemon format, and also in GPX and FPL formats for use with other systems. "

but they are nowhere to be found, my skydemon version is 3.10.4

I have read somewhere that people are successfully transferring routes to G1000 by saving as FPL, so if SD could share .flp then it's basically a done deal and it should be loaded by G1000. 

I am not familiar with iOS development and deployment to appstore but I could probably write a small iOS app which would convert the .flightplan to .fpl and transfer to FlashAir if SD is not able to do fpl export/share since I think that this function could be interesting to a lot of users.

I suspect that .fpl export is only possible from SkyDemon Plan (our PC software). Have you tried on there?

Yes, from the PC it works, I was hoping that it could work from phone as well since it's mentioned in the text file. If not it's not a problem I can anyway come up with small application to convert&upload the file to wireless SD card.
