To import the flight plan you first have to click on the button FPL for Flight Plan. Now you get to the list of all waypoints which the currently loaded flight plan (still) has.

If no flight plan is loaded, the ICAO code of the starting airport can be entered here.
Now you just have to turn the outermost wheel (arrow with small bow). Now you get a list of all flight plans that are currently in the FMS Plans directory. Just select the corresponding flightplan and confirm with the button ENT for Enter. To choose between the different flightplans you have to use the right hand dial as well. Important: If none of the flightplans is highlighted in green, simply press the outer dial to PUSH CRSR for Push Cursor.Last week, Austin Meyer, the founder of X-Plane, did a webinar with the Flight Sim Association from the Oshkosh Air Show. He talked quite a bit about the next generation of X-Plane and what their team has been busy doing. It was an interesting presentation and while it doesn’t fully let the cat out of the bag I think we can read closely into what they have planned. Getting an overview of the next generation The Airbus A330 is one of the confirmed aircraft in the “next generation” suite. Right from the start, it’s become clear that what Laminar has been previewing has been all about the next generation of the sim. Austin made a somewhat sarcastic remark about a roughly $60 price tag every five years suggests to me that X-Plane 11’s life is coming to an end.
Next up, another major key point was the news that X-Plane 11 content (all of those third party aircraft for example) should work just fine in the new sim.

There’s no telling what features may break or need to be tweaked in order to make them work in the new sim but I have high hopes that dedicated developers like Thranda, Aerobask, and VSkyLabs just to name a few will be able to quickly update and port their aircraft to the new sim. It seems that Laminar is keeping their plans for the next generation close to their chest. Will they be charging their usual $60 price or some sort of subscription or both? The visuals Although Austin did say a few times that the next generation pricing model hadn’t been announced yet, it is clear that this is X-Plane 12 in all but name at this point.Īpparently, by the time of FSExpo in September, the team will be ready to talk about the name and price. The issue of graphics including clouds and landscapes came up during the presentation and we learned some interesting things there too.įirst, volumetric clouds are coming to X-Plane by default (finally!) and Laminar will be showing those off sometime soon.

This is a must have feature to me and I hope that it will put X-Plane at least on par with the latest in cloud technology that we’ve seen from Microsoft Flight Simulator and DCS World. The team has also worked to make weather transitions smoother than the current more jarring and rather sudden transitions in X-Plane 11.Īustin did seem more resistant to upgrades to things like the wind model. Here, Microsoft Flight Simulator, appears way ahead doing detailed modeling of how wind interacts with terrain and buildings. That leads to some interesting real world effects, particularly when flying in the mountains. I don’t get those with default X-Plane right now and I’d like to very much.
He did make a note of it so hopefully we see this evolve before release. The issue of scenery and terrain also came up and of course everyone wants to know how Laminar intends to compete with Microsoft Flight Simulator in this area.

For those who may not know, MSFS streams high resolution orthographic imagery to your PC via the internet much as you would your favourite show on Netflix or Disney+.
