![]() I see I got another reply from wmburns (thanks!), and I'll reply to it later. Just for a test I tried a particular route I want to fly from BUR to LAS, and it was close, but missing some waypoints. Simroutes is interesting, but it just gives you a list of common routes, so you are out of luck if the route you want to fly is not there. I require the ability to set my own route with DPs and STARs, or at least navaids and fixes. ![]() I had already tried xpflightplanner, but I find it to be inadequate, because it just has you enter a starting point and an ending point, and then it makes up a route for you. And it demands too much attention from actually flying the airplane. Just from a practical stand point, image entering by hand a STAR and then having ATC change it? It takes too long. In the "real world" it's not an "approved" method to enter a SID or STAR by individual way points. So it's not really all that expensive.Īlso note, in the "real world" the SID/STAR must be loaded by name. The Navigraph 30 day FSM Data product is $5.90. But for example the one time download from Aerosoft is 7.55 Euros ($8.49 US). The "one time" pricing is not always easy to find (they would rather sell an annual subscription). Which is usually when the data gets far enough out of date where I encounter a problem. ![]() Note, as a pure simulation pilot, I don't need "up to date" charts buying a "one time" update when needed. I have an account with Navigraph and have used their service in the past (FSX/PMDG). Products are available from Aerosoft or Navigraph to update the GPS data. Likely the piece that you are missing is the updated navigation database data as the GPS data that comes with X-plane is getting "long in the tooth". ^^^entering procedures by name is already a feature in the latest X-Plane version (10.30+).
