Of course this is an Aerosoft question, but anyway... I was trying the Airbus X out today (despite having owned it for quite awhile, I haven't flown it yet) and ran into a snag while reviewing the flight plan. For some reason, I can't use either sets of arrows to scroll through the flight plan--I'm stuck on the first page. Any ideas? Thanks,boeing247(and is there really no way to set Altitude constraints until the extended version comes out?)

Arrows...? Hm, did you try pressing the Next page button? It's been a while since I used the Airbus X and I don't have it installed anymore so I can't check. Doesn't the ND have a PLAN mode so you can scroll through the plan with one of the LSK's (STEP)?

By arrows I mean the next page button--it's just not labeled "Next Page". I also set it to PLAN and was not able to step through the waypoints. Everything seems to work fine when I input each waypoint manually, but that takes awhile.

Does anybody else have any idea? I asked this question in the Aerosoft forums, where it's been sitting for several days with no replies. Meanwhile, I can't fly the Airbus X.Thanks,boeing247

Bram, write Mark a PM. I think he's a frequent Airbus X flyer.

Thanks for the tip! I'll shoot one over to him.

I've been flying this particular aircraft for a while now as I've been trying to cycle through all the different aircraft in my hangar.Unlike any other aircraft in FSX or FS9, there is no page indication in the Flight Pan when scrolling through the vertical up/down arrows so one is not sure if one is going backwards or forwards in a plan.Additionally, later on in a flight, if using an external Flight Planner such as FSC9 to input a STAR for example when closer to the arrival airport after getting the arrival Rwy from ATC, that Flight Plan in the Airbus X which will only accept a flight plan from the FSX Flight Planner.i.e. IFR Manchester to Palma, which FSC exports to FSX format, gets wiped out. Instead, it loads a KPVD-KBOS flight plan and immediately goes off track. Then one has open up the FSX Flight Planner, load that modified STAR plan, then have to, while still in flight, edit it to bring one to the present position. Weird.Aerosoft in their Forums have acknowledged this weird behaviour but only solution they offer is wait till the Extended version comes out which will have to be bought, to fix this anomaly.

Rick, it may be an expensive tip on the first view, but I think Aivlasoft EFB may help on the flight plan issue. It can live stream the new plans into FSX, so you don't have to access the menu. Means you e. g. look up the STAR in EFB, activate it and the program sends the data to the Airbus within a second.Now that's just one feature of that program. It allows a full 30 day trial, so in case you want to test it, go ahead.

Hi CoolP. Nice talking to you once more.For the sake of brevity I did not disclose that just merely creating a flight plan in FSC9 does not actually do the job. In fact even though it has an export to the default FSX Flight Planner, in reality it does not do so, so I have to export from the FSC to Aivlasoft's EFB, and then from there to FSX which is the only way to do it, as I discovered.Now, as you will most probably be aware of, EFB shows up the ATIS frequency for the desired arrival airport long before you get there, so dialling in the frequency a long way out to get the arrival procedures, one can then alter the already-created flight plan. In saving and activating that plan, which immediately gets sent to FSX Flight Planner, that is when the AirbusX MCDU instantly wipes the already loaded EFB-FSX- generated plan and instead reverts to KPVD-KBOS flightplan. Upon re-loading the FSX plan, into the Airbus MCDU, one then has to delete waypoint by waypoint from the very start to bring it back up to present position. I have never ever experienced that with any other aircraft.
