Freeflight start height and direction

Featured Replies

Hello

If I start my flight in mi air rather than at an airport, i seem to start at a different height depending on my aircraft.

For instance, in the PMDG 737, MSFS is putting me at 31,000ft. Is there a way to change this, as if you are planning on a landing, you have to be a long way from your destination to descend from 31,000ft?

Also, can I set my direction of travel, as I always appear to be travelling north?

Finally, in the 737, the autopilot is always on by default, is there a way to set this before jumping into the cockpit?

Thanks

You can spawn like you do now and then use slew to go to the right altitude and direction.

Take a look at https://secure.simmarket.com/fsipanel-fsipanel-2020-standard-edition-msfs.phtml.

It does some of the things you're asking about and can be used with any plane in which you can set the flight director.

Simmarket wants 35 Euros for the standard version. On the fsipanel homepage you can get it for 30 Dollars which translated to something like 29 Euros the day before yesterday when I bought it. Great program!
