Continued Wish List

[FlyingAxx]

Hi Tim,

First I like to thank you for the nice tool which definitely has the potential to be a new FSNav for FSX. Ok, what I would like to have, is the possibility to import FSNav flight plans without using FS9 in-between. Why? Since a couple of guys and I are flying around the world (better to say criss-crossing almost each Sunday evening for a couple of years now) by hopping from airport to airport, sometimes with RL SIDS and STARS but in most cases with runway information and Fixes showing points of interest etc.

A plan might look like the following text export (just an extract):

FS9 will not accept such a plan and therefore it would be a big deal if Plan-G could step in in order to enhance FSX. As I found out that Plan-G is able to include multiple legs like this, without runway information unfortunately, it seems not too foolhardy to me... ::)

However, will it be possible one day to see the airport layout as well (again, like in FSNav)? This data is definitely available in the sim. This would be cool as well.  8)

There's no plan to read FSNav files at the moment.

Airport layouts will be viewable in a future release.

Wishlist...o.k.! :)

What about changeable colour-settings of the window? I run Plan-G (an inalienable tool to me in the meantime) in a MM-setup and the light and bright blue doesn't match as good as a dark gray, black or silver for example. Would it be difficult to build in a feature like this?

A clear answer Tim - even if not really satisfying for me...  :(
