Blodhemn Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 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 advanceRob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karingka Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) 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:http://www.simroutes...ParseRoute.aspxOnce 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:http://rfinder.asalink.net/free/hope this helps!!

Blodhemn Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 That only works the FMC. I am flying an aircraft that only has a GPS, as with most light aircraft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karingka Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Ahhh.... let me look into that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethesus Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwin Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskeyportal Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 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?

Blodhemn Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Can anyone recommend a good GPS payware or Freeware, as long as its compatible with XPX im happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
