TKessel Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I'm not quite sure where to post this, so I'll start here and a mod can move it if need be. I'm OK in FSX using the GPS for flights, using the flight planner and interacting with the sometimes problematic ATC. Back when I had (I think.) FS 2002 I had a payware aircraft with a working FMS, which I was able to use, though it was somewhat awkward for me. I thought I'd like to try it again, but in the default FSX 737 the FMS seems to be inop, I can't get it to wake up. Maybe there's a button somewhere, but maybe it really is inop… I thought about buying a payware aircraft for FSX, but then I thought maybe I've thrown enough $$ at FSX, and I should try something else. X plane 11 looks pretty good, and I think some of the default aircraft already have a working FMS. Also, in FSX, even if I get a payware aircraft with FMS, I'm not sure what kind of scoldings I might get from ATC. - Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

data65 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Hey "T", the default X-plane11 737 and MD-82 have pretty good FMS's and there are plenty of YouTube tutorials for them. The autopilots are a bit different on X-plane11 but not too bad. And yes the FSX FMC is completely non-functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 If you're looking for a realistic FMC in a 737, then check out the PMDG 737NGX. Watch some of the YouTube videos and you might be pleasantly surprised. You don't want to mess with FS' default junk except the Cessna. The Lear 45 is alright, but it too lacks a lot, including the FMC. I am searching for a good FMC myself for my planes that can use the nav data from Navigraph. I'd like to use my F-22 Raptor in VATSIM, but with just a GPS I can't fly height and speed restrictions and crossing a transition, etc. There is VasFMC, but I have yet to mess around with it. As far as I'm concerned, if a payware plane that in real-life has a FMC, then it sure should have one in the payware aircraft. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
