WRT to the first question, KJFK-KBDL is just 92 miles direct. Once you are that close to the destination and you are IFR, ATC can start to vector you for arrival, ie your flight plan on such a short...

I would buy into a new flightsim platform if I had a good reason such as if the current platform didn't do what I needed it to, or it didn't run well on my system. FSX does the job for me and there...

There are some interesting flight sims actively being developed, eg AFS2, FlyInside, DeadStick. They all represent different approaches and limited in various ways at this point. Maybe one or more of...

I didn't read the whole thread, but just wanted to point out you can fly an approach for a different runway than the one ATC wants you to land on. So in this case if ATC wants you to land on runway...

Competitors to ezdok are ChasePlane and OpusFSI

You could also look at TrackIR, which you can use on its own or combined with one of the above camera addons.

FSX also has "mouse look" built in....

That's right he's looking for KOWB. I agree there do not seem to be any downloads for FSX.

Ant's Eaglet. It's cheap, easy to fly, but with some more advanced features to dig into when you are ready. It's a really lovely model with lots of ways to configure it.

The PMDG thing is called Global Flight Operations. It's an ACARS system, but beyond that I don't know much as I don't fly long haul or anything bigger than a 737. It's primarily of interest to PMDG...

PMDG has some supposed big announcement tomorrow (June 9). Maybe it will be a new flight sim? I'd wait to see what happens before making any big investments.

Your flight plan can include waypoints from navigraph data, and your GPS will indeed display them, they don't need to be in your scenery.

I (and others) begged them over and over to work with the guys at fsdeveloper to get developer tool support: MCX, ADE, SbuilderX etc. All these suggestions were ignored. They changed the file formats...

I feel bad for people that paid $40 and also the talented developers that lost their jobs, not to mention the third party developers that invested in making products for this platform.

I thought...

Yes, in the IFR case you will get "vectored" (ie ATC assigns you altitudes and headings to fly) onto and off of your planned route, which includes lining you up with a runway for a visual approach or...

fltplan.com has very good coverage in the Americas and they have apps for IOS and Android so if you have a tablet it's great for pulling up charts quickly and keeping them at hand.

There's a Blender2FSX tool here:

You need the FSX SDK as well, but you can probably use the P3D v1.4 SDK also...

Until now I never bothered, but thanks to this video I decided to have a go. Flight with the FlightToolkit is actually quite good fun, though lacking as a sim in some important ways. I imported my...

Gotta mention the wonderful video series Milton created for YouTube: You can have Milton in your living room showing you how he develops aircraft. A huge asset and wonderful contribution to the...

There's also Little Navmap, also free.

Nope dragging the airplane doesn't work for me either. The FSW map is pretty but it's far less functional than the old FSX map.

Nice shots! FSW is developing nicely. I picked up the JustFlight Piper Arrow and really enjoying short GA hops in it. The new weather system has the nice property that if it's raining in the cloudy...

I see one in this livery pack:

I see there is tds_boeing_737-700_southwestair_n7707c.zip. I expect you need to add the livery to a different tds package to get a VC.

I'm sure jetline will happily sell you their old inventory but note that Intel Coffee Lake CPU's will not work on those z270 motherboards. I'd ask jetline when they expect to have systems that...

Have a look at Terra Emergence Project, it's free.

FTX Global really just replaces textures but that includes some autogen improvements including...

Look at steamspy, FSX:SE dwarfs XPlane11 in terms of the number of users and even daily usage stats. There's no data for P3Dv4 but at $200 for non-students I doubt it's user base is anywhere near...
