Thanks for posting this, it's really interesting. I used to love trying the RNP approaches that someone built for the PMDG 737 in FSX and it's great to see this. Such interesting airports in Alaska, I love Juneau, Petersburg and Wrangell amongst others.

I would like them to bring the Connie to MSFS or a brand new Captain of the Ship aircraft.

This is available now, would like to see it in the PMDG DC-6 or upcoming Pilot's Dash 7. https://msfsaddons.com/2023/05/29/the-return-of-a-classic-bendix-king-kln90b-gps-now-available-for-msfs-aircraft-developers/

I checked this after the patch released yesterday and the approach is now drawn correctly although you have to enter PS966 manually as it's not there for some reason. I didn't have time to fly it though, but will give it a go later. I bought this scenery last week after you posted this 🙂

This worked great for me, thanks!

Yesterday evening Pilot's released their MSFS version of the Boeing B-314 clipper. I didn't have this for P3D but picked it up for MSFS last night when I saw their facebook release post. Only had a brief look so far but my aim is to have a go at celestial navigation on a San Francisco to Hawaii flight! Think that might be a couple of months off though! Anyone else planning on getting this? I am also interested in their Dash 7 which is going to be the next release.

Looks good, remember using one of these made by SimAvionics in the Just Flight BN-2 Islander in FSX and enjoyed it. Would like to see this or something similar in the upcoming Pilot's Dash 7 and also be great with PMDG DC-6.

I used Track IR with FSX for a few years and really liked it. I have had Tobii for a few months now with MSFS and really love it. Once you have it set up you forget it's there and just look around and the view moves!

yeah 🤣

FlyingFabio previewed it a few days ago. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1657414489 at about 9 mins 45 seconds someone asks about release day, he says hopefully by the end of the year but possibly early 2023.

There was a thread on here where a guy did them for the pmdg 737 on fsx nearly 10 years ago, they were great fun! It's a shame you can't share those as they are fantastic, but its understandable!

Would love to see an fs2crew (or maybe fs3crew!) for the dc-6 when its released for fsx/p3d. This is my most anticipated aeroplane in a while and would love to see Bryan work his magic with this! Gary Patterson.

I'm English and I can never get it to recognise 'on' either, was the same in the NGX. I tried it in an American accent (or what I thought was an American accent!) Every time it recognises it as arm! I just use skip most of the time now but I will keep trying too!

Brilliant news!

The Alaska and New Zealand approaches were programmed by a guy called M_sauce I think, and he did a fantastic job on them, definitely worth a try! Last I saw on here he was planning on doing the PAJN approaches and some other airports in the FTX South Alaska region. I think he might have said he was waiting for Orbx to release their add on PAJN airport before he coded it so he didn't have to revise the data? I hope this is still the case as I appreciate his hard work for us NGX drivers! When Orbx release Queenstown NZQN airport it would be cool to have those files updated too as I think the procedures have changed in the last few months :-)

Howard, I just did a quick flight from Manchester to Bristol in the NGX. I let PRO ATC X autogenerate the flight plan - it gave me a 05L take off at EGCC with a LISTO2S SID then direct KARNO and on to RETSI for the BRI1A STAR. I loaded up the flight plan from CO route and then reloaded the SID as described in my last post so the altitude constraints are present. I left the other waypoints in the FMC as KARNO RETSI and EGGD as per the auto flightplan. On the PRO ATC flightplanner its already decided on the BRI1A STAR but I dont put that in at the point as I guess if it was real world I wouldnt know that for sure yet anyway. After take off I followed the SID in LNAV, one thing I dont like about PRO ATC X is that it doesnt give you the altitude restraints from the SID as your initial cleared altitude. Looking at the LISTO2S out of Manchester I would have thought my initial clearance should be to 5000 feet for the hard restriction at LISTO but PRO ATC never gives me that - I am not a real world pilot so I dont know what would happen in reality, thats just based on my expectations. Around four miles before KARNO I was given the arrival SID information, so that was the waypoint before RETSI, which is the first on the STAR. At that point I entered the STAR into the FMC, and shortly after RETSI I was cleared to descend to FL160 which is a hard restriction at AMRAL, so all was looking good. Then FSX crashed, but I guess thats the beauty of running too many addons, FSX, NGX, FTX, FS2CREW, PROATCX, OPUS and trying to record the flight with FRAPS :-) I think the future looks good for PROATCX though, I just dont use it all the time because I like to fly in Alaska alot and most of the airports dont have towers, and also in New Zealand I have had a few issues, but I think at the more common airports it works well now.. All the best, Gary.

I have been using PRO ATC X on and off for a few months with the NGX. Its constantly evolving, this is the longest period I have seen so far without an update. I still fly more flights without out it than with at the minute though.. Howard, in partial response to post #12 - Its annoying that PRO ATC X loads the SID up without the altitude and speed restrictions. The way I get around it is to load that flight plan from CO routes as suggested, then I go into DEP/ARR and load the assigned SID from the database as you would on a flight when your not using PRO ATC X. This inserts a discontinuity, close this by moving up the first waypoint after the SID to the position after the last waypoint on the SID and then you have the SID with the restrictions. I have never had any problems doing this, in fact sometimes I dont load the PRO ATC flight plan into the FMC from CO route and just enter it as I would for any another flight. It can be a frustrating program but I think it has potential to be excellent. Best Regards, Gary.

Hi Howard, I think RETSI is the first waypoint on the BRI 1A STAR for EGGD. I just tried the same flight with the original AIRAC cycle that came with the NGX and its the first STAR on the left hand side when you press DEP/ARR.Cheers, Gary.
