FO seat? Me?

Exactly What fun is there in flying a computer on your computer

It will not at the onset. I have not yet programmed in support for manual waypoints of that format...PBD, LL, etc. I don't think it will be difficult to do so, but I'm not on that task at the moment, plenty in front of it. Once I do get that put in though, I would suspect that adding support for that type of point should be doable. And as far as PFPX goes, I think it supports *.flp format (not *.fpl)...which is a format we do read in. In fact, I think someone asked the question of supporting PFPX some time ago that caused us to want to import multiple file formats. There is no format that we could not probably write a importer for; however, some formats are just too verbose for us to want to even try.....and many formats encode the waypoint data within the file itself whereas we rely on just the names, that is 'what you would type into the CDU'. You give us names, we pull the data from our database and build the route, etc. The ideal format is *.fpl IMO. -tkyler

Can anyone explain to me why there's such a negative attitude towards Airbus aircrafts? I don't speak of Jan who's A320 type-rated and knows what he's talking about, but I sense a lot of negative commentary coming from people who most probably never set a foot into an Airbus cockpit...

Jan is pulling on the yoke from the FO's seat. Classic jokester.

Added support for *.fpl format (as opposed to flp), which is my favorite format, very short and clean https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/955680/fplSupport_opt.mp4

We should immediately lock down the "Work In Progress" Forum. It has the one and oly true number of posts :-p

This one works great for me: https://flightplandatabase.com/planner

i would recommend "simbrief" -its is free -you can select the aircraft, model, passengers cargo and it will make all calculations based on that -you can provide alternate airport, reserves, etc. or leave them auto for suggestion -you can select the AIRAC cycle you have running and provided route will be supported. -you can save flight for further edit/use -it provides weather, notams, etc.

I'm often using http://rfinder.asalink.net/free/ and then import the given route into EFASS..

Release 1.0 is closing... This is the point where I say "stop" for v1.0. You never really can finish a plane. Still, there are awful lots of things to do. But let's leave those for v2.0 So what we have so far: Quite realistic engine and flight model (~95% matching real data) Instrument lighting Yoke can be hidden Basic anti and de-ice system Custom engine sounds Custom engine startup Checklist for XCheclist Wunderbaum and many more which is up to you to find out All basic instruments are working, you can either fly RNAV with Garmin or NON-RNAV (VOR2VOR) flights with the NAV instruments. Did several flights on IVAO lately to check out if I missed something, but seems like all are there. Of course, I'll keep working on this beauty Despite I put a lots of effort to this plane, v1.0 will remain freeware. That's not going to change. Ever. Bugfixes of course will come after release, so I'll keep updating this version. But in the meantime I start working on v2.0 which going to be payware. But that's really the far-ish future, so I don't want to get ahead of myself yet. Here are the latest shots, hope you like it.

Celebrating 2 months since "Release is getting close"

Hello, I wanted to say that I've asked for X-plane performance help on this forum, and all I got was constant advice to get a new expensive PC. Well, I found this guy named Wycliffe Barrett on Youtube who does an absolutely wonderful job at explaining all the insides and outs of X-plane, and he made this great video on perfect Nvidia control panel settings (video below). AND GUESS WHAT - I GOT A 200% INCREASE IN FPS WHEN I ADJUSTED THE NVIDIA SETTINGS, EVEN ON MY "WEAK" MACHINE! Thank you Wycliffe Barrett, because you actually help even those people who have weaker machines...
