Is it possible to change aircraft after the flight starts?

This can also be done using the developer's mode. It is called the 'Teleport window' in the menu.

This feature together with the aircraft selection has been requested hundreds of times by the testers, but...

Oh yes I get that, thanks (use it all the time), but I'm mystified as to why these features are not enabled outside of dev mode. The average user is not interested in downloading the sdk.

You can use the slew command (have to program the controls for it) - maybe a slower version of what you want.

Frankly, I've been puzzled, too. The functionality is already there, it won't harm the gamer's experience and it would definitely enhance the simmer's one. So I see no good reason behind removal of a feature everyone has used to so much.

My assumption is that Asobo are yet to either provide a proper in-game GUI for the feature or have had a problem implementing it reliably and so are keeping it in the dev mode UI for now. It's clearly a function that is of use, especially as it takes so long to exit to the main menu if you realise you've loaded the flight and forgotten to change the aircraft (or location).

Maybe I missed something obvious but I can't find a way to change airport/location without quitting the scenario I'm in and starting a destination/arrival from scratch. I've also noticed that if you reload a saved flight the weather menu is blanked out.

I had the same problem but if you load the PLN (plan) file for that scenario you should be able to edit/change the particulars.  Apparently the FLT file is a hard-set flight scenario that cannot be changed when loaded.

Thanks for that tip!

the dev console portion for this function does either not work well (will not display all aircraft) or does work as intended and changes to only one type.  Just be aware.

I stand corrected, thank you to the folks on this forum, appreciated
