If you want to explore a place in the Kodiak I would STRONGLY recommend Papua New Guinea (PNG). There are a LOT of airfields and bush strips on Flightsim.to to download. Check out this guy who flies a Kodiak in PNG IRL (https://www.youtube.com/c/MissionarybushPilot)

Mainly because you want to adjust the LMN/Simbrief/Navigraph generated routes (if e.g. you want to pass over a specific point - a friends town - which is NOT in the Auto generated routes). Secondarily, are you still looking at the possibility to import Simbrief FP's (and possibly Airframes)? Cheers Harry

Hi Alex, any update on the possibility of this feature (and the airframe profiles!)? Would be absolutely awesome!

Thanks Alex, not the answer I was hoping for 😞 but at least it is on the list😊. I am aware of both those options. But sometimes the "Calculate Flight Plan" option can take you on a "detour" (and yes I also am aware of the Airways - Direct slider options). The "Read from Route Description" option can be difficult to read, especially in crowded airspaces which is why I like Navigraph Charts ability to highlight the Airways entire path so that you can see where it goes from - to and can easily see where you might plan your Entry/Exit. This also means having to use two separate pieces of software. I do LOVE your program and really appreciate your efforts so I will await with patience.😁

Is there any plan to add the ability to add Airways to a flight plan? My thought is that LMN already knows that a Waypoint is a part of Airways e.g. POL - Pole Hill. This waypoint has at least 10 Airways passing through it. So could I right click on POL and get a choice to Join Airway XXnnn. This would highlight the Airway and pop up a list of Waypoints for that Airway and you could then select one of these and select Exit and then Add to Route. Or something along those lines. I assume their might be a flaw in my idea but its an idea for whatever it may or may not be worth.

Not sure if you have made any decisions/announcements on this topic so please excuse me if there is already something out there that I have not seen. Are you contemplating supporting this sim? The reason I ask is that a number of the aircraft in the sim have the G1000 avionics suite and I would be VERY interested in getting a high fidelity G1000 in these aircraft.

I assume that in order to upgrade to 5.1 from 5.0 that we simply extract the download and then copy and paste (overwriting existing files)? Cheers Hazza

Hi, just found and tried this amazing tool! I spent a whole day downloading and adding xxx.ai2util files to all the models downloaded by AIG AIM and I also have FLAI installed. After running the tool I get this result (this is just a snippet but shows that it is picking up both FLAi and AIG AIM aircraft): Flai Ai Models : 1887 Total Ai Models: 5731 ============================================================= Replace Utl Aircraft:AT7| Carrier: VFC | Operator: VFC | Found:OPERATOR AIGAIM_VASCO ATR 72-500 - Vietnam Airlines OC Replace Utl Aircraft:E70| Carrier: VBW | Operator: VBW | Found:OPERATOR AIGAIM_Air Burkina Embraer EMB-170 Replace Utl Aircraft:E90| Carrier: OAW | Operator: OAW | Found:OPERATOR FLAi_AIA_E190_OAW-Helvetic At the end of the process though I still have 1690 Daedalus paints. I am assuming this is because there is a problem matching either the Carrier or Operator. Here is a snippet of the Daedalus paints that remain: equip car oper title val useOnce M82 JOR KLA UTLive_M80_Daedalus 100 FALSE 762 AOG AOG UTLive_762_Daedalus 100 FALSE 141 SRU SRU UTLive_142_Daedalus 100 FALSE 142 SRU SRU UTLive_142_Daedalus 100 FALSE 143 SRU SRU UTLive_143_Daedalus 100 FALSE E90 OAW OAW UTLive_E90_Daedalus 100 FALSE 100 OAW OAW UTLive_100_Daedalus 100 FALSE 319 OAW OAW UTLive_319_Daedalus 100 FALSE SF3 NTJ NTJ UTLive_SF3_Daedalus 100 FALSE ATP NTJ NTJ UTLive_DH4_Daedalus 100 FALSE CR7 NTJ EAY UTLive_CR7_Daedalus 100 FALSE AT7 SDY SDY UTLive_AT7_Daedalus 100 FALSE Is there a quick and easy way to find and replace the Daedalus paints or is a matter of going through one by one? Cheers Hazza

Dan, I agree there are other more important things to fix but I would still like to see this as I am sure would some of the Cockpit Builders - if it is feasible. Thanks Goof, I will investigate this (had never heard before!). And yes I am in the process of negotiating with the Finance Minister about gaining some Capital Funds for this project. Unfortunately, the Exchange Rate difference between the NZ$ and the Euro is not favourable at this time and the negotiations are taking on Brexit like proportions🙄

Thanks, I am aware of the ability to move the DU's but what I am after is the ability to put it on a tablet and then use the touchscreen to choose options. Whether this is developed by PMDG or the capability for another developer e.g. Flightsim Apps to have the ability to hook into the SDK is immaterial to me but the capability is what is important. PS. Hahaha just noticed that in my original post I typed thing instead of thinking

Is there a way to put the Lower DU on a remote device (e.g. a tablet) so that you can interact with it. More specifically I am thing about the Electronic Checklist.

You are too fast in replying!! I am part way through asking that question😁 Cheers Harry

I see this was asked about back in 2016 but times have changed (and hopefully so has the SDK). Are you able to hook into the Display Units (mostly thinking about PMDG 777, 747 here) and interacting with those. More specifically I am thinking of the Lower DU and DISP controls so that we can interact with the Electronic Checklists especially? Cheers Harry

Thanks for this, have been contemplating purchasing your products for a month now and generated the request a few days ago but like the OP don't have e-mail on my sim computer. Now all I have to do is get final sign off from the Minister of Finance (wish me luck😨). Cheers Hazza

HI, I am trying to program some buttons on my Saitek/Logitech panels using Spad.Next. The problem I am having at the moment is how to read whether Ground Power has been connected to the aircraft (GPU/Jetway plugs). Doesn't matter if its an LVar or EventID. That's the hard part. The easy part is to read that output and (conditionally) turn on/off Pri/Sec External Power Switches. Any assistance greatly appreciated
