How to change aircraft and location from within the sim?

Featured Replies

When I start the sim, It takes a long time for (more than 10 min) and I have to do my flight plan, starting location and aicraft. and then start the flight.

While I am At a location on an aircraft I would like to

1) Change the aircraft ...to change fromA320 Neo to the 172 Classic

2) While I am sitting in KSAN (San Diego), I want to move to KSFO (San Fran)

without leaving my current spot  and going back to the main menu.

Is it possible ? if so how do I manage it like we used to do in FSX/P3D Days?

I have activated to display FPS occasionally. So within that menu, what do I need do?

To move location, go to Tools -> Teleport Window.

To switch planes, try WIndows -> Aircraft Selector.

Those titles may not be exact, I can't start the sim at the moment and am going by memory, but they should be something like that.

Perfect. That's exactly what I wanted.  Thank you thank you. I read somewhere it was possible.. but I didn't know how.

The Location move is also under Windows->Teleport Windows.

Ah, d'oh!  I knew I wouldn't get it 100% right.  Memory isn't what it used to be.  😅  Glad we could help get you sorted.

I'm not sure of the rules around this [have I mentioned before that this site needs a more concise and accessible summary of all the rules?] and I'm not trying to get anyone in trouble, but to clarify, is a commercial developer allowed to promote their product here without being marked as a commercial member?

Regardless, I've heard that you can also successfully do this with VFRMap by clicking somewhere to teleport.   There are probably others, too.

I just saw the video..Its nice. I never knew this tool existed. I just may get it. 🙂

I just bought it.. It was just 10 euros. No Brainer.

Edted to add: I love it.. I just did like 10 landings from 12 miles away on KLAX on the A320 Neo. by just clicking on 1 single button  "start flight" LOL 🙂

No they are not. I have notified the Admin who will make the change.

Thanx!

Hi

I've been using rksoftware's tool FStarter since yesterday and loving it. I am not using the POI feature Its not intutive and I haven't been reading the pdf. I am using the locate your aircraft around any airports approach line and just landing and repeating it while changing weather  presets .and doing the same approach.

My Q is, would we be able to run this on a second PC while the MSFS is running on another? If not now, would it be possible to add this feature? How about adding/changing weather through this? So I can use it like Instructor station? 🙂
