  3. Hi, I've been having a problem with PFPX for about ten days. When I click on the "Find Alternates" button nothing happens, no alternate airports appear. Before everything worked great. I tried uninstalling PFPX and reinstalling it again, but that didn't work. Could someone help me solve this please? Thank you.

  4. I am learning the Fokker F28 in MSFS2020. Is there a way to select routes and SIDS and STARS which are not GPS based but solely NDB and/or VOR based? In Navigraph, or Little Navmap, or another source maybe? Regards, René

  5. I’m a bit old fashioned in that I like to have some printed version of my flight plan, but Navigraph doesn’t offer this feature. Foreflight does however. Other than a modest increase in cost (I’m a home user), is there some capability specific to simulator usage vs actual flying that I would miss from Navigraph? I have only briefly experienced both. After being a real pilot 40 years ago, I’m trying to get back into it as a sim pilot this time around. The very long gap in experience perhaps explains my fondness of paper charts (and analog instruments).

    Hi, I'm in the early stages of using Navigraph charts inside MSFS2020 but I would prefer to use it outside the sim on the main 32inch desk top (like the ALT + TAB to LNM). I have a 10inch tablet but I don't think that wouldn't do it justice. Thanks for any help Brian

    Hello, I could restore database in Plan-G for MSFS2020 but it's now not anymore possible. Connection from MSFS 2020 to Plan-G is possible, as the little plane moves along the map. Connection from Plan-G to MSFS2020 is not possible, as the Database can not created. How can I solve that problem? With kind regards Wilhelm

    I am having a problem with Flight plans either with or without using LNM. I put in my flight details/start finish etc and I get a flight plan shown on the world map that looks correct. However, when I get into the aircraft the flight plan goes silly and has huge legs that do not make any sense at all and involve long distance "rambling" and do not follow the route shown on the world map.Can you help?

  16. I apologize if this is in the wrong place as I'm new to this forum, but I'm looking for guidance as to setting up a flight plan in the FMS for the current MSFS version of the Cessna Citation. I've watched several hours of videos and read many pages of forums, manuals, etc. across different sites but I keep plummeting to the ground at record speeds after engaging the autopilot. (I think) I understand the basics of navigating the various menus in the aircraft, I understand how to input/clear data, etc. and I can even get the autopilot to navigate laterally without any issues, but when I try to use VNAV things quickly start to go wrong. If anyone knows of an updated res…

    I am looking for a flight planning application. I used SimBrief. But now they are owned by Navigraph, it is kind of pricey. The quality is great, but Pricey. I am using MSFS 2020 w/ PILOT2ATC. The NavData that comes with PILOT2ATC should be good for now. I believe I can save the MSFS flight plan and then load it into PILOT2ATC. SimBrief is great but I can’t justify the cost at this time. Thanks!

  18. As many of you know once PFPX is installed it crashes if you don't enable a proper weather path. In fact, the one inside the program is no longer active and crashes PFPX. I could install ASP3D but, not using P3D anymore, I don't want to install it just to have a snapshot of the weather (current_weather.txt) and that's it. So I ask you if there is some very small free program that could download only the current_weather.txt to connect to PFPX. Is there anything? how do you get around the problem? thank you all in advance

  21. Dear friends. I would appreciate your assistance regarding the in game planning/navigating tool. I am beginner in MSFS, so please understand my strange question. For expert colleagues it may sound ridiculous, but when I make my flight plan I get a straight route, and always have trouble with properly prepare myself in advance for landing (I would expect the landing route take in to account the curve you have made to descend slowly and prepare for touch down), basically with descending approach as the route does not show details regarding the final approach. How can I plan this route ahead? My question is which flight planner for MSFS 2020 that I can use in VR mode woul…

  23. Started by fgiraudo,

    I was using Simbrief but sometimes it gives wrong NOTAMS - for instance, currently there is a NOTAM for ESSA that RWY 08/26 is CLSD DUE WIP, which is clearly wrong since you can see aircrafts departing RWY 08 on FR24. I also had other wrong NOTAMS, I'm not sure whether it is related to the Data subscription (which I don't have). I found this on the ICAO website, is it the most accurate source or are there better ones? https://www.icao.int/safety/istars/pages/notams.aspx

  24. I created a flight plan with navigraph Charts and Simbrief. I saved the flight plans and they are showing up where they are supposed to be. When I start MSFS I select other, I select load, I load the flight plan and it is showing on the World map. So far no problem. Now, when I enter the cockpit, turn on the GTN750, select Flight Plan, the flight plan is not loaded. Am I doing something wrong? Or how do I correct this to get it to load when I hit FLY? Thanks Walt
