Dear friends. I would appreciate your assistance regarding the in game planning/navigating tool. I am beginner in MSFS, so please understand my strange question. For expert colleagues it may sound ridiculous, but when I make my flight plan I get a straight route, and always have trouble with properly prepare myself in advance for landing (I would expect the landing route take in to account the curve you have made to descend slowly and prepare for touch down), basically with descending approach as the route does not show details regarding the final approach. How can I plan this route ahead? My question is which flight planner for MSFS 2020 that I can use in VR mode would take into account and “draw” the landing route, with possibly necessary data (recommended speed, altitude …). Thank you for your help.

Hey folks... I am doing a long 2500nm trip for my FSEconomy group. I just figured out how to add waypoints between the two airports (DAOR to HHAS). I love how you can look at the map and then just drag the flight line to each airport along the way. However, at the bottom of the LNM window, it shows the flight as one continuous journey: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vTPMWuGaw7lAIFgpXcglGm5csXmMHM9a/view?usp=sharing I think anyway? So what I want to do is tell Little Navmap "each airport on the journey is a landing." Is there any way to do this? Or will LNM not care if that's how I fly the route? Sorry for the newbie questions, I appreciate any guidance in this matter. Thanks! -
Five hours of pain because I suffered a senior moment when I blew out all my USB port assignments using USBDeview.exe. First: Garmin Pilot (For Android or iPad) is a solid tool that will bring your immersion to even greater heights. It's free for 30 days, but if you want to try "SAFE TAXI" (Highly recommended) you will need to buy a year of that service even if you choose not to subscribe to the underlying Garmin Pilot. You can connect FSX to your tablet and use this app, but several little kinks: IN FSX: Start FSUIPC (paid version 4.5 or higher by Pete Dowson), and find the GPSOut settings. YOU MUST enable GPSOut to make the Garmin Pilot Work, and YOU MUST choose the correct com port which is assigned when you pair your tablet to your FSX PC via BLUETOOTH. If you do not do this, you will never ever be able to make Garmin Pilot work, period. In FSUIPC click AutoSave/GPSout tab. Right side of window, put tickmark in box says "Check to enable this GPSout (which means GPS Output In the next section click the drop down window and select the com port your tablet is using via Bluetooth to connect to your PC. (Mine was Com16) put tickmarks in the following boxes: RMC, VTG, GGA, GLL, GSA, GSV, PgmZ and click OK Then, on your Android tablet: LOCATION SERVICES put tickbox in Use GPS Satellites and important! In DEVELOPER OPTIONS, debugging, put tick box in "Allow mock locations" Install Garmin Pilot. Under settings you would see "External Bluetooth GPS" and you should see your FSX PC listed. Be sure you have 'discover my pc' enabled on your FSX PC. On your Android SETTINGS area, turn on BLUETOOTH. You should see your FSX machine listed. Double tap it. A dialog box will open on your FSX machine asking if you want to enable communications and verifying the pairing code on both your FSX box and your Android. Say OK or YES on both devices. Wait for the drivers to install. Press the connect button and you should then be connected to your FSX machine. Remember FSX must be RUNNING before Garmin Pilot will work. -
Hello All I am sorry if I am beating a dead horse and I did looked around and don't get an exact answer so forgive me for asking but..... What is a recommended route planner that includes SID and STARS that I can export then import into a non FMC equiped aircraft...Hope that makes sense. Alternatively is it recommended to get some "generic" fmc for non-fmc aircraft? I am also looking for a route planner that can create flightplans that are PMDG compatible. I am trying to create my own outside of the tutorial flights but are a bit stuck with first how to and what to use. Any tips, pointers and help is much appreciated. Thanks, G -
Hi, I was wondering since on the FMC you can import flight data from a downloaded file for now I have been using sim routes but does anybody have another site they would reccommend where you can download flight plans and upload them into the FMC. Victor S.
