PPC File Complications
Troubles Opening PPC Files
XMap Removed
If you attempt to load your PPC file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open PPC Files". Usually, this is because you do not have XMap for %%os%% installed. The typical path of opening your PPC with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.
Tip: If you don't have XMap installed, and you know of another program to open your PPC file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".
XMap Requires Update
Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of XMap installed that's incompatible with your XMap Flight Plan Statistic File type. You will need to download a newer version of XMap if you don't have the right version. Most of the time your XMap Flight Plan Statistic File file was created by a newer XMap than what you have installed.
Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your PPC file and clicking "Properties".
Regardless, most of the PPC file opening problems relate to not having the right version of XMap installed.
