Flight Plans & GPS in XPX

[Blodhemn]

Is there any way to load my flight plans into the GPS in XPX? In FSX this happened automatically when you filed a flight plan. But I cannot find a way to do it in XPX. Manual only mentions how to use the Direct To function, but that is only good for putting in a direct route. Is the only way to use the GPS, by literally manually entering each waypoint as I go along? If so, is this another thing that will be updated at some point? as its a pain having to manually enter waypoints.

Thanks in advance

I know that while using the FMC, you can use the LD button, but the flight plan file must be placed into the X-Plane 10/Output/FMS plans first. You can generate X-Plane flight plans using the following website:

Once you hit "generate route", there will be an option to export an X-Plane flight plan as a download. To generate a flight plan (not x-plane, but in general), use the following website:

That only works the FMC. I am flying an aircraft that only has a GPS, as with most light aircraft.

Ahhh.... let me look into that!

The default GPS only has a direct to funtion. aka you can only have one leg at a time in the GPS. But there are other free- and payware GPSs out there.

Was really hoping they would sort that out for v10 but sadly no. Direct to only except where theres a combined FMC & you can type in and save flight plans on that and recal them with load or add a pre-made flight plan direct to flight plans' Typing a divert on route into the FMC works with most aircraft.

Having that GPS fully functional is top of my wish list as I mostly fly small/medium GA craft small airport hopping

Still an area the FSX is way ahead of even XPX. I find it very annoying to have to enter waypoints only via direct to option. How is this still too complex for X-Plane to figure out?

Can anyone recommend a good GPS payware or Freeware, as long as its compatible with XPX im happy.

Check out eadt.eu. They offer a cool freeware gps.
