Import and Export Flight Package
The Import Flight Package and Export Flight Package plugins can be used to load a flight package file to define the aircraft's mission, or to save the currently defined mission as a flight package file. A flight package is a file that contains an entire Aviator mission.
The Import Flight Package plugin is available to all aircraft objects, allowing you to load a flight package without needing to first set the aircraft's propagator to Aviator.
Generate TSPI
The Generate TSPI plugin creates a tab delimited text file with a .tspi extension that includes latitude, longitude, altitude, true airspeed, heading The direction that the aircraft is pointing., pitch, and roll data for the currently defined mission. You can use the drop-down menus in the plugin window to define the units that will be used in the file. The time format is elapsed time, beginning at 0 and incrementing at the Time Step value that you define. Click Write File ... to create the .tspi file, and Close to dismiss the plugin window.
