Does anybody know a editing tool like Notepad for OSX Mountain Lion? I can't edit the .lua's because there is no tool for that. Any help is appreciated

Flying canadian charter to Greenland/Montreal to Narsarsuaq/Flight time 2 hours 42/Canjet x737

Charter-flying from Shannon to Vagar/Ryanair x737/Flight time 1 hour 24

Great!!! I thought it would be delivered in July… But the earlier the better!!!!

In that point, i enjoy the real world way more When you are flying, you know that your route is valid

I'm going to to fly a trans atlantic route on sunday and see how it goes

Can't wait until July, when Air Canada gets their first 787's.

Thanks for your try I noticed that as well that the plane stops following the route over the atlantic and picks it up again over land. So when you are flying with FMS following, it will just fly a strait line over the atlantic until you reach the next continent. I managed it now with the heading mode. So once i start the atlantic crossing, i switch to heading mode and just enter into my FMS the next Waypoint on land. Like this there is a strait line to follow and with heading selected you end up at the right place. It's a bit annoying, but it works. Maybe laminar will add atlantic ocean scenery in some update. Again thanks for your help, SwissCyul

I like that Swiss A340-300 above

It's time for some historic long-haul Zurich to Montreal/A330-200PW Swiss International Airlines/Flight time 7 hours 35 minutes/HB-IQA

No problem

I kind of explained that in the post before. You approach the runway and then you look in the front and concentrate always on the height between your Autopilot panel and the runway. If you keep the same distance until landing, you will be landing directly on the threshold. With that i don't mean the actual distance, only the distance you see with your eyes out of the cockpit. Or if your runway has PAPI's you can just follow them. So 2 white lamps and 2 reds is the right altitude, 3 whites and 1 red is to high, 1 white and 3 reds is too low. And don't overcorrect on approach. Just minor corrections by pulling/pushing slightly at your joystick. Pitch is difficult to use if don't know what value you need. Another thing is the speed. You can loose altitude fast if you are too slow. Hope that helps, SwissCyul

Do you have HDR on or off?

Well, you have to find your own technique and practice it many times so you get used to it The best thing to do, is to go a bit left of the centreline while approaching. Because you are probably on the left side, you will be perfectly aligned on touchdown. Or you go every few moments while landing in the middle of your cockpit and look if you are aligned correctly. But that is not a good thing to do because you will mess up the landing like this Also if you have no PAPI's available the best thing to do so you arrive at the correct altitude, is to always have the same height between the runway and your autopilot panel. Like this you will be never to high or to low on landing. That means you just focus to keep about the same height while approaching the runway. And don't give up after a few hard and not aligned landings, because real world pilots need about 300-500 hours of flying experience to get used to landing smoothly and correctly

So you mean that you are flying manually and you want to perform a manual landing? With ILS signal or not? Because lining it up is not that hard except you have extreme crosswinds or something else.

Alright, good luck

Seems right to me So you have your flight plan entered and follow it to the airport. When you get the ILS signal you select heading mode in direction of the runway or 90 degree towards the runway. So you have to be sure that the plane doesn't follow the route anymore. The spinning is really strange because i have never heard of this. It might be your plane looking for the ILS signal. The checklist seems correct to me, so you can follow it just like that. You can just try these tips and then take off from your airport, do a quick fly and then try to land with the ILS system. When it works, you make a go-around after Touch down and fly again until you can make a landing. Like this you will get used to the process and you won't need a checklist after a while I know this from the A330 flight training but i think the A320 is quiet similar. I hope you can figure out something so it works, SwissCyul (Thanks for subscribing my Youtube Channel )

So you have the ILS indicator already on your ND, right? If you are approaching the runway you click on approach mode. Then you click on ILS so your ILS is displayed on the ND(Button next to the FD light). The plane should follow the glideslope if you have the right frequency AP 2 is only a STBY mode. You always have to have AP 1 also running. Maybe you have a hold in your MCDU. If this is not working i don't know what the problem is. Maybe you can write a more detailed explanation of what you are doing.

Yeah, but afterwards you won't feel satisfied because you didn't fly the real flight. And it's always nice to arrive after a 6 hour flight at your destination. For me it's like a rewarding experience because you see all the planning and preparation working out Also you see amazing sunrises and sunsets on your route

I fly routes that are 4-6 hours in real time. But longer then that i do 2x/4x ground speed. The flight took about 4-5 hours. I do many things while flying, like reading, cross country skiing, swimming, playing music…

The world is small in the Jet age Zurich to Los angeles/ Flight time 11 hours 40 minutes/ A340-300RR/ Swiss International Airlines Flight LX40 Over Great Britain, crossing the atlantic, continuing over snowy Canada, then crossing half of america, and finally descending over the desert into LAX, turning onto final for 07L over the ocean.

How about you carefully read post 1

Right, but to post files here is really difficult, because mine get never approved…
