This will be wonderful!
I can't wait to test my A320Family using VATSIM and complex SIDs and STARs once I create the MCDU and FMGC!!!!!!!!

When will there be an interface with Vatsim, which is: 1) One piece of software, 2) Does not show my md 80 as a 747?

And then i still have some objections to Vatsim. But if the above criteria are not met, the objections are insurmountable.

Kind regards, Vincent

2nd can be solved by filing the flightplan online.

No other solution to the first as of now. It won't be cumbersome at the end, because you dont have to open any of those programs after you're online, because after you are online you just press a key for PTT and change freq from FG.

You can probably make a .bat script to automate it. :P

Hi SHM,

Apart from the fact that following magenta is not really my thing (i like VOR and NDB more), it is of course a great thing to have good connectivity with a multiplayer like Vatsim. But then we need more improvements in flightgear. Since Vatsim insists on magenta, the route manager should be perfect, and it is not.

1) I am am not for my life ever going to type in a waypoint. Real pilots do not do that either. Their plane's database is filled for their needs. I found a way to upload flightplans to the route manager, but not sids and stars. They must become uploadable too. And quick without messing up the current flight plan. You never know which star you get assigned at arrival beforehand.

2) The route manager has a fatal flaw. At least in the 777. When i jump to a waypoint forward, it goes there, but from there turns back to the waypoint from where i jumped. This jumping must work correct, because some atc's tell you to skip some waypoints.

Anyway, this connectivity is an interesting effort.

Kind regards, Vincent
