Thanks.

How do use the drone so I can see the cities etc? I found the drone menu under camera but I can’t seem to get off the ground and view the scenery. Thanks.

I have it all successfully installed now thanks.

Any ideas? Thanks.

I’m trying to install simple warp. I have tried first installing python then python interface version 2.7 I think. When I load X plane, I don’t see any python interface installed therefore I can’t install simple warp. My best guess now is you have to have the right version of python installed to be able to have python interface and simple warp installed correctly. Thanks in advance for any help.

OK, thanks.

Is there a way to move the position of the plane to top of descent? I tried this with Plan-G but the aircraft went to the other side of the world and lost control. Not sure if the fault is with Plan-G or X-Plane. Just wondering if Little NavMap has a method to do the same.

As I said X-Plane 11 default without Zibo has that. However you could be thinking I’m saying to have the very in-depth functions of the VNAV system such as VNAV speed, path etc. In which case no. X-Plane default allows entering speeds and altitudes in the FMS and lets you specify a descent angle like 3 degrees for example. It works fine. If you think that’s payware I disagree. I personally think default aircraft quality should be a little better than FSX and at least have that level of automation which X-Plane default has. Study level to me goes quite beyond that.

Yep lol. I have actually done that quite a bit with the default 737 in FSX. Few years in fact. I programmed the SID and STAR waypoints in the default GPS through Plan-G and used that formula to get rate of descent and distance to start down. I then checked my profile every thousand feet. I got pretty good at it but it does take some work to make sure I’m still on the right path and don’t drift off much.

Fully aware and not necessary to have payware quality. If it’s X-Plane default aircraft quality I’m very happy with it. That means a working FMS that allows entering of altitudes and speeds and follows it with VNAV with the TOD distance listed in the FMS. And of course flight model and autopilot bug fixes to have it fly better. That is good enough to me.

Is there a way to message Asobo to tell them to try to add TOD location and fix the autopilot and VNAV systems? Hopefully these are some of the priorities. Not everyone wants to get payware aircraft. X-Plane 11 default 737 had a working VNAV and decent autopilot, so Asobo should be able to be as good or slightly better in the default airliners. I hope they’re listening.

I know I have said this before but I hope Asobo does get to fix the autopilot and flight model issues in the A320 and B747. The default airlines should have automatic VNAV calculation when loading a flight plan and also allow editing of the altitudes and speeds in the FMC. The other things to add is TOD distance and allow input of descent angle for the VNAV to take into account. The aircraft quality i think is almost there to provide realistic flights without the need to spend extra money for a study level aircraft. As I said before, I don’t have any interest in buying study level aircraft. The main features are the FMC, and LNAV and VNAV functions. That is perfect to me. If they can do that (or freeware developers after release) and fix the tree length lol, then awesome.

I just tried that by adding Maximized=2 to the Main section of the CFG file and it worked. Thank you.
