  1. I found the answer in the VATSIM forum: http://forums.vatsim.net/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=51653 This works for X-Plane 10... Quickie "How to" Find the fix in the FAA Fixes and Waypoints web site: https://nfdc.faa.gov/nfdcApps/services/locId/fixesWaypoints.jspConvert the lattitude and longitude to decimal using the Convert Coordinates site: http://www.earthpoint.us/convert.aspxAdd your new fix to the bottom of the \X-Plane\Resources\default data\earth_fix.dat file (make a back up first).Be careful to follow the format, i am not sure how critical it is but why take a chancehere are four new fixes I added using the Notepad++ editor (a great freebie): 27.230394 -82.260472 ZATUB 27.136300 -82.366703 CUKBU 27.104161 -82.402928 ZIKSA 26.912333 -82.618452 WUPOS Save the file, open XPlane and you have your new fixes.Thanks to Ointment and the guys over on VATSIM who lead me in the right direction... this will be a big help as i populate some more fixes around my home port of Venice Fl.

  2. Thanks... it is not obvious where waypoints would be added... can you point me in the right direction. DenS
  3. Hi, I have found that some named intersections and waypoints are missing in the X-Plane 10 Cessna 172 GPS. For example the Venice, Florida Muni airport KVNC, Runway 23 approach plate; ZATUB, CUKBU and ZIKSA are not in the GPS. This is just an example, I have found others missing for this airport, which I consider 'home'. Am I doing something wrong or are they intentionally left out. How can I add them? Any help would be apprecitaed. DenS
  4. Hi, Really enjoying flying in real weather but would like to know just what that weather is. Is there a way to see the real weather that is being rendered before i take off? Thanks DenS
