var converter = require('flight-plan-converter');
var msFpl = fs.readFileSync('some-microsoft-flight-sim-flight-plan.fpl', 'utf8');
fs.writeFileSync('x-plane-flight-plan.fms',
// converts parsed/normalized flight plan to specifique format
converter.convert(
// parsed/normalized flight plan
converter.parse(
// raw input flight plan
msFpl,
// input format
converter.formats.MS_FPL // -> 'ms_fpl'
),
// output format
converter.formats.XPLANE_FMS // -> 'xplane_fms'
),
'utf8'
