fsipanel standard v advanced edition advise please

[rwy12 16]

Hi everyone

I am thinking of buying this- seems to have great reviews.

Can you please advise other than the failures option in advanced version, it it worth the price difference.

I am a fun simmer and i am looking for something to set up landings...I have fs-flightcontrol....unfortunately this does not load the plane in preconfigured states, especially the Fenix 320.

looking forward to your advise.

Sounds like the Standard version is the one for you.

One huge benefit is that there is a very reasonable upgrade path between the two versions.

Many thanks

I bought standard edition for the Fenix and recently upgraded to Advanced edition to play the training scenarios.

As said above, you just pay the difference to upgrade, a good deal.

I wasn't interested in the training scenarios so opted for the Standard version. If I change my mind the upgrade is always there. I think at one time the dev discounted the upgrade price, might have been Christmas but maybe at other times, too.

Any idea how much the upgrade is...I cannot see any mention on their Web.

It's the difference between the two products. So, $20.
You can choose to upgrade in the program via through the License tab on the Setup page.

Honestly, stop worrying about the advanced version. Get the standard licence to see if you even like the program first.

I can guarantee that you will like this addon, particularly, if like me, you simming time is short. The ability to setup and fly approaches at any airport of your choice within around 2 minutes of launching the programme is unbeatable.  You can also hunt down and fly approaches based upon your weather preferences.

hi everyone

many thanks for the suggestions- i bought the advanced programme-Up grade would cost about 20 uk pounds....buying now was about 14.

I agree its an ideal  great programme for setting up landings for people with limited pc time. However i already have noted few issues.

I only fly the Fenix a320- fsipanel always gives the same landing speed of 145...irrespective of weight and fuel .

also I do not have the option to update my airports.

I have put a message on their forum-hopefully I will get some help.

I am not sure if its me or the programme needs fine tuning.

overall I agree its a good programme .

Have you followed the guidance in section 4.2.7. on page 25 of the manual?
Are both your Fenix and the FSiPanel program set to use the same mass units (kg or lbs)?

Have you followed the guidance in section 4.2.3. on page 21 of the manual?
Is your antivirus set to allow exceptions to your flight sim folders?

navigraph data manager loads Fsi Panel with up to date data. The speed is always 145 knots

The weight units are set to same and anti virus allowed. 

I think these 2 are not the reasons for the fixed speed of 145...I think the programme has its limitations and the owner has not managed to sort it. 

It will be interesting to hear from pmdg users....what speed do they get.

I think the 145 speed is a starting point. Once you fly, the MCDU sets app speed

I fixed that issue by the option set managed speed for the Fenix A320.

The speed is now correct as per the MCDU.

with this we still put 145 in speed window-the mcdu will automatically just to correct landing speed. I will do it-great if it works for me.
