Is that the first working VNAV in the sim?
Not quite, itās in a few others. Iām pretty sure the VNAV in our CJ4 was the first, but off the top of my head you can also now find it in the WT G3000 (advisory only), the FBW A320, and the Aerosoft CRJ. I think the pimarc 430/530 will do advisory VNAV, but Iām not positive about that one.
Edit: Oops, not the 320 yet.
Oh I didnāt realise the A32NX has it now. I really ought to read the pull requests more often, heh.
Actually, my apologies. I know theyāve been working on it (and theyāve been talking to us about importing and adapting some of our logic from the CJ4), and I thought it had been released, but it looks like itās still on an experimental branch:
Sorry bout that.
Thereās also this branch, which seems to be the main one where theyāre doing the flight planner work:
Edit: Here we go, they posted a status update a couple days ago, so we can get it straight from the planeās mouth. The new FPM with LNAV is in ālate developmentā, but they still have VNAV as āearly stagesā.
Wait a second, thatās on a Beechcraft Baron isnāt it? Those GPSās look a LOT better than the stock in-game. Iām amazed at all the progress with the different GPS units and functions you guys have made.
Not sure if that was in the Baron or Bonanza, honestly. They look pretty much the same, at least in that view.
Thanks! Iām pretty stoked with how the NXi is looking.
Keep an eye out around the end of this month. It should be arriving in the Marketplace in the form of an officially supported public beta soon, and will be a drop-in replacement for the stock G1000.
(It will eventually become the stock 1000, but going through the Marketplace lets us get it in peoplesā hands sooner and iterate on it faster than if we were tied to the core sim release cycles.)
As long as Iām sharing progress shots, here are two other little ones we recently released. The first is one of the most asked-for features weāve had: accurate implementation of ādirect enter enterā to go direct to a future waypoint in your flight plan.
(Notice, also, the lack of any fake USR waypoints there.)
And, of course, once youāve done that you need to be able to resume your courseā¦ so hereās a pretty awesome looking course resumption. Check that turn anticipation!

Iām assuming even more space will be needed for deluxe content, add-ons, etc. Iāve been pruning āIām going to play this, reallyā stuff and I can move other stuff temporarily to my external SSDā¦.

I ended up getting an Storage Expansion Card in part because I figured Flight Simulator would need a lot of space. Also my internal storage as well as an external 1TB USB SSD are constantly full and Iāve deleted a bunch of games and then wanted to play them again, which is a problem since Comcast has a data limit. So more storage is definitely going to be nice.
I am loving the DC-6. Just did Heathrow to Bristol without using the AFE at all. Seemed to go well, although I didnāt have engine failures on so Iām guessing it would have been a different story if I had!
Itās actually deceptively easy to fly once you get used to the layout, and the gyro pilot - halfway between fancy trim and a real autopilot - works a lot better than I expected it to. Iāll probably fly very little else for a good while. Now, back to the manualā¦
Isnāt it a great plane? If you go to then engine stress page on the tablet it will give you a convenient look at all the engine parameters and which are outside of normal ranges. Itās really useful for getting the feel of how not to blow the radials up. :D
Yeah thatās very handy, and itās also the reason I suspect my flight would have been disastrous if Iād had failures enabled. :) Usually some problem at every damn stage of the flight. I need to thoroughly read that manual, and continue watching the tutorial videos.
When PMDG first announced the DC-6 would be their first aircraft (in MSFS) I was very meh about it. How boring, I thought! But now I see the wisdom. Itās the perfect balance between low level GA and modern airliners, with just the right mix of automation and stuff to monitor to keep you reasonably busy all flight. This will definitely keep me happy until they get their 737 out the door!
Edit: My only gripe, and itās minor in the grand scheme of things, is some of the textures in the cockpit are surprisingly low res. Thankfully itās only stuff like the padding and some of the text labels. Definitely minor, but I do notice it and I was surprised.
@kaosfere , apologies if this is the wrong place to ask, but is the WT G1000 mod working on the Skyhawk? I think I installed it, but I donāt see any difference. The only other mod Iām running is the mobile companion app.
No worries, I donāt mind helping. It should work on any of the planes with a 1000 in it. How do you have it installed? Main folder inside the zip file needs to go directly inside the community folder. Is that what you have?
The path is D:\Users\SMR Desktop 2020\Appdata\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Community\workingtitle-g1000-v0.3.7. Itās not supposed to still be in the zip file is it?
Is it possible that itās installed, and Iām just not sophisticated enough to notice the differences? The lean engine page isnāt in there. Is there something else I should look for that will indicate whether itās working or not?
Edit: Wait! There is another folder nestled within that folder! It is called workingtitle-g1000. I bet thatās the folder thatās supposed to go in the Community folder! I would try it, but I donāt want to wait for the game to load. Tomorrrow!
Yep, thatās your issue.
Youāre far from the first person whoās had that problem. :)
Yeah, I had the same problem. In our defense, the instructions say to unzip the contents of the folder into that folder, not its subfolder, so I blame the instructions.
Iām not quite sure what youāre referring to here. Youāre supposed to place the contents of the zipfile, which is the directory with the mod in it, into the community folder. Pretty sure thatās what we have as instructions, but if we have text thatās confusing somewhere Iām happy to clarify it if you give me a pointer to it.
