creating a flight plan

Featured Replies

I''m new to XPlane to so I'm having real trouble with the flight path.  I think it would be easy to be create a flight path, I'm not sure to ask which runway to use? I can't imagine why it would be my choice for either take off or landing, surely the ATC would be deciding... 

also, does anyone know of a product that will pretty much act as my co-pilot on a small Airbus (eg A319/320).

thanks, gaz

I took the shell off my racing snail, thinking it would make him run faster. If anything, that made him more sluggish.

Easiest way to learn is find real ones. 

Go to flightaware.com and pick an airport or flight. Click on the details of that flight and it will show the route. 

Ie: fdx1618 to Indianapolis from kmsp

 

ZMBRO7 ODI BRBIE JAKKS2

the first is (most of the time) the SID

the last is the STAR

AND waypoints in between 

you can use those in your CDU on board the 737

 

as for runway, always check atis and it will tell you what runway is in use, or... the wind direction , then find the runway into the wind.

i understand the website, but I don't think it's something I want - I would rather have something like simBrief, which I'm a member of, but P3D, I rely on the ATC to assign takeoff and landing runways.

default X-Plane flight planner/ATC you choose.

I work on AutoATC which still has a way to go for realistic IFR flight (it will issue headings), is mostly good for realistic VFR and for tubes is going to be part of the YA747 ACARS system. It is primarily an "Aircraft radio simulator". It will give you holding and runways,
