[FSUIPC v7.2.0 beta support: Adding Lvars to Offsets]

Is it possible to also assign hvars to offsets? for example, to be able to assign  MCDU or FCU switches to  hardware buttons.

Or at the moment only lvars can be  accessed this way.

I do not really understand the differense between lvars and hvars, but i can see that  there are hvars for mcdu and fcu buttons for the a320.

Thank you

When I compare the Acars flightplans to fs commander's one, they are very very similar. I wonder if I could make an automated tool to convert the acars fp to fs commander's one, some strings just need to be changed it seems.

Hi Parsa,

This is not possible.

Hi Volker

 

The type of flight plans that  acars export is a bit different though. if you check the link that I ggave you, it kinda has sid and stars as well too.

 

Anyway, thank you for answering. sorry I bug you once  each two months or so, your software really helps me to fly as a blind pilot. specially since it supports the aerosoft airbus X.

Hi Parsa,

 

As in real life, these are decisions made by the dispatcher or ATC. In other words, you are the dispatcher.

Hi Volker

Thanks for your reply. I see.

My airline (Delta virtual airlines) uses the ACARS software, and their dispatch gives me a pln file for the routes. Can I open FSX pln files with fs commander?

Here's a sample if you want to check it out

Hi ???,

The FlightSim Commander does not display text information for SID's, STAR's and Transition's.

Only if data such as altitude, speed, etc. on the part of the cycle are present, they are displayed. (see screenshot)

Hello Volker

 

Thank you for your reply. I see what goes on now.

 

By the way, are there any plans to include a fsbuild-like feature that would make fs commander to automatically assign the best-guess sid and stars for your flight plan, in case that you're flying a route that you have never flown?

 

Also, cheers for the best aerosoft airbus x compatibility. I like importing fs commander flightplans into my aircraft.

Hello

Navigating the forums, I've seen that people can see the text instructions of sid and stars in their flight plan.

How can I achieve such information in fs commander?

I'm mainly looking for text instructions of stars.

Thank you.

Hi

 

I got it! WCA.  Thanks!

I have to study the whole document indeed.

Thank you Volker

Hello,

 

That's awesome! I get what you mean now. I didn't notice that because I always was using auto HDG.  FSC=best addon ever.

 

A question though. I've tested a flight, looking at nav data, the BRG to the next waypoint was 298.4, when I pressed auto HDG, it set my heading to 295.  why it didn't set it to 300, instead? is it because of winds?

 

Thank you

Hello,

I was studying the flight plan table.

 

What you mean is that when fs commander is connected to my sim and i'm flying the aircraft, the flight plan table gets updated, and the waypoints's courses are  set depending on my position?

(I have to study more on mag/true course subject BTW)

[FSCommander auto heading and aerosoft airbus a320]

Hi Volker

 

I just read the manual operating modes. I understand why it doesn't work now :)

 

Is there a setting in FSC to show me the heading that I need to set to reach my next waypoint? (when GPS is connected and flightplan is routed). I currently can see my current hdg/alt and other gps information using the airbus X.

 

P.s i'm sorry for my annoying posts. I'm trying to fly the professional aircrafts with voice commands. everything is setup so far, though I need FSC's help to navigate :)

[FSCommander auto heading and aerosoft airbus a320]

Hello,

 

Does the auto HDG feature of FSC work with aerosoft airbus X?

I have tried it and it's not working for me.

Is the problem with my system, or FSC in general cannot take over the airbus X heading?

 

Thank you

[Can't Establish onto localiser - have no idea what's up]

Hello Volker,

Thank you for  replying -- - i'm also sorry for my late response.

I understand that FS commander is not a FMC :) depending on the GPS window, i'll do the altitude and speed ajustments myself.

Does the GPS window  show the FAF and your ETA to it?

 

Thanks
