bluemoon51 145 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 44 minutes ago, Fori said: Hi there. I was eagerly awaiting this plane although I'm a more casual player (e.g. starting on runway). From what I've read on the microsoft forums it seems that you CANNOT plan your flights in the insim planner and just start on the runway and everything is setup. Is this true? Regards Fori My advice would be, there is a learning curve with something like this plane and flight-planning would be part of that, but you might find that its something once you get into you enjoy and there are alot of simple planning guides on youtube, keep in mind likely you aren't going more than a couple of hours flying, so routes can be pretty simple, try starting with a couple of simple locations(ideally somewhere with just an approach to enter)and go from there. Get comfortable flying into one place and then expand......(Maybe even turn on the approach rings so you can see how the plane reacts to capturing an approach and you can pick up when you have screwed something up) Link to post Share on other sites
M4V3R1CK 222 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Just one question because this flight planning topic came up again. Are there any plans (in the future) to implement the possibility to use the CRJ with the default MS navdatabase. I mean finally we got a sim which gets free regular navdata updates So would be great to use it also in 3rd party aircrafts Or are there restrictions for 3rd parties from MS? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes you just want to select a runway and get airborne and this is pretty simple with the MSFS worldmap but not if you have to put in a flight plan manually. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

But thanks @bluemoon51 for the cool input. I guess I'll end up buying it anyway. From breezing through the manual I'm already wondering why I would have to recalibrate my HOTAS again although it's working already with the 320 and 787. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

At this very moment we are just not able to access the build in database and therefor we have to uses an external database (we include a fully up to date Lufthansa Data Systems database but are 100% compatible with our friends at Navigraph). But the moment we have acces to the internal database we'll add that as well. So ideally you can choose between the sim default NavBlue, Navigraph (Jeppesen) or NavDatapro (LIDO Lufthansa Systems). If I am correct, the latter is the one used by most airlines at this moment. We love the fact the sim comes with a database that is updated. It makes a hell of a difference for the platform. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

You will never improve unless you start using the systems more. I started from scratch when MSFS launched, and i am still learning.. it's fun, gives satisfaction when you learn something new... Instead of being defeatest... give it a go! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry for my ignorance but I’m new to this stuff. Will I have to drop the navigraph data into a CRJ folder as well, or just leave it in the community folder? Link to post Share on other sites

This has nothing to do with learning not wanting to tediously put Flight Data in MCDU which is even inserted in real life in planes like 320 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DGH 22 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 8 hours ago, Mathijs Kok said: No, when we have an update we will share that with customers and Microsoft. @Mathijs Kok Hi Mathijs but when you share with MS ... is that uploaded instantly by them or do we have to wait 14 days before they update the marketplace ( worse case scenario) if that is the case i will prefer buying directly from Aerosoft. If they update instant when you release the update ... i prefer to buy at marketplace ( to keep all central ... the big advantage of marketplace ) Link to post Share on other sites

That's true but you wont have a flight plan in the FMS and i think most people starting directly from a runway like to have a route. They just skip the "tricky" part. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
