I just use the freeware one available on Flightsim.to.

Do the predictions change to show correctly when airborne? Have you have raised this with iFly support?

Wow. 300 pages on this topic. An Avsim record? Great support and interaction.

I only have a few hours logged in the real thing but a few things that stand out, were the speed, handling and the sound of those electric crossfeed valves. When operated during preflight they make the most wonderful whirring sound which I hope A2A have faithfully captured in the sim model. The aircraft I flew at the time did not have a particular mod installed which required the addition of an extra dorsal type fin or strakes? (I can't recall exactly). From my fuzzy memory, this mod was required to enhance certain engine out conditions. It had to be operated flapless until the mod was installed. I can recall my first night landing (not that long after checkout), was into a small GA airfield where the runway lighting had a partial failure and only the centre third was operational. It was then that the aircraft became GA's equivalent off the F104 Starfighter ! Stuff you only do when you're young, or stupid, or both.

Thanks again, Toby, for your time, effort, and continued enthusiasm in supporting this great tool. Are winds aloft factored into determining route suitability? For heavy aircraft especially, fuel burn per nautical mile can change a lot with fuel burn-off en route. Is that taken into account? If not, I suppose it would err on the conservative side but limiting maximum range and reducing pairing possibilities. Also, is fuel tank capacity considered as a limiting factor when calculating range? I understand this tool is an options generator, with final route viability determined through the Simbrief flight planning tool, but it’s helpful to know the limitations. As a suggestion, could some variables be made selectable with checkboxes? For example, ignoring an aircraft type ban, which might restrict options due to noise limits rather than runway constraints (like the FSS 727 and other older classics). And congratulations on the new job—great news!

The first time I have 'heard' the Aerostar being referred to as ugly 🙂

Do you have the flight plan details SID/STAR etc? I’d be interested to see how the iFLy 737 MAX copes with that, assuming that the procedures are in the data base.

Ignore that comment. I should have grabbed my reading glasses and looked a little more carefully before responding. I mistook it as being in the descent phase when in fact it was in the climb. I should have looked more closely at the plan view. I can see no reason why it won't accept that constraint as it appears valid. Has anyone tried experimenting with changing the constraint values or trying higher and lower cruise altitude values to see if it still returns as an invalid entry?

Deleted.

The GSX manual is fairly voluminous, and it wouldn't surprise me if it hasn't caught up with all the many recent changes, however, I haven't looked at it for a while to confirm that. A great add on that is well supported.

That 2800A at GRITY is the reason. It is not possible to have a higher crossing altitude following a lower one on a descent path.

Sorry, I thought that it was just controller setting back ups and not switchable controller profiles.

It's a graphical settings manager and not controller settings.

Good value for $6.99.

That's a great idea. Use the world explorer feature on Flightsim,to to make it easier to find them all and the filter to sort further. World explorer is located on the Airports Tab. Scroll down to the second to last item, World Explorer, or direct link here.
