The only time I have seen this are in Russian aircraft (eg the PT Tu-154M and related projects). I've never seen it done in a Boeing, Airbus, Emby etc. Several add-ons allow to display metric altitude, but that's it; no MPS on the VSI or even KPH speed indication.

Very nice, thanks for posting!

I think it's a pretty good idea. Image hosting takes up a lot of server resources, bandwith, etc. I can understand people's reluctance to make a change which will involve creating an account for image hosting, uploading it and finally posting on AVSIM, but if it helps reduce workload on the servers it's well worth it.

There's a left lateral shot that you can see some of the NLS logo on the fin. And what appears to be a display from a B787.

FSFK really wasn't designed to be a flight planning tool, it's a very comprehensive log book. It captures a ton of data on every flight. I've used it for years and love it. The reports are a nice way of tracking hours/miles by ac, addon, airline, etc.

That's hilarious! :lol:

Good luck getting any help from someone else

You can enter lat/long waypoints in the RTE page (you don't have to enter them in the LEGS page).

The UAL liveries default to CLB when at cruise.

Hmm, can't find a date but it's a fairly old post. I don't think it's going to be that soon. Just judging that there really haven't been any progress reports or pics as of recent.

Where is that quote from?

Through its own server, Active Sky, REX, and FS global wx.

No, you don't. But TOPCAT gives you suggested values for TO thrust, flap settings, etc. Right now for the T7 I'm using a freeware program called UTOPIA which calculates TO performance. In my opinion, PFPX stands out enough to warrant buying, especially if you do long-hauls. Very powerful tool that once you get used to using it, is invaluable. Producing an OFP and exporting it to the relevant programs you use is very easy and fast. I love it. You can copy and paste a route from FlightAware or have PFPX generate a route that takes in to account SIDS/STARS (based on winds and rwy use), all the current oceanic routes, polar routes, fuel consumption, etc.

It depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is...

And it has a wx radar!

I'm going to give you an example route where you only have to enter the VIA box (I believe this is what you are referring to) This is part of UA97 Berlin Tegel to Newark that I flew a few nights back. Airways are bolded EDDT BKD UL619 CUTEL UL983 GOW UN563 GILPA Direct XYZ When you have multiple consecutive airways, you can omit entering the fix name. So enter UL619 in the VIA box. Right below UL619, you can enter UL983, and the right side across from UL619 will auto populate the fix CUTEL. Next up enter UN563 in VIA, and GOW will auto populate across from UL983. This only works with consecutive airways. Above, once you reach XYZ then you have to fill the R box with the fix name.

Isn't she great? I've probably spent more time flying than I should, but I can't help it!

Quite a ways down the road. I believe I read somewhere around 6 months (?). Again I could be wrong, but it won't be out before SP1.

You can manually add an alternate on the ALT page, just type in the ICAO ident and line-select a field that you don't want.

United is marked as accurate in OC, but AA is not. FedEx is also marked accurate.

Okay, that makes sense. I can see where that would definitely be advantageous.

Just for my own curiosity, why are you using FLCH on departure instead of VNAV? I've never seen that done before, I'm interested.

For the 777, commonality and only one engine type that's used. The 200/200 ER/300 have 3 engine variants, meaning a lot more programming to do before release.

Same here. Haven't seen anyone else post about this yet.

Look at the overhead panel. It is a selectable option in the configuration menu. Some airlines have replaced the No Smoking sign with No Electronics. When it's on, it will annunciate on the EICAS.
