Fsx Autopilot Addon

FS Flight Builder is a utility for general aviation flying that will build flight files for FSX, FSX Steam Edition, and Prepar3D based on waypoints and other data either entered manually or imported from SkyVector using the Plain Text Link information. Among other things, you can select your starting position, aircraft, and VFR or IFR flight plan. One of the most interesting features of the application is that it will include a Briefing file, added to the aircraft's built-in kneeboard, that will include departure and destination airport information (runways, frequencies, weather, and charts) as well as navigation frequencies along the route. Have you ever started up flight simulator and wondered “where do I want to go today”? The new Destination Chooser functionality can help to solve that problem. The screen allows you to enter your departure airport and choose various parameters for your destination (like min and max distance, tower availability, ILS availability, runway length requirements, etc.).

NpC4FSX&P3D (NumberPadControl) is a more efficient (and more convenient to set up) version of a similar program called NumberPadControl that I wrote a few years ago and which to my surprise PC Pilot magazine included on their 100th Anniversary edition Freeware CD. With NpC4FSX&P3D you assign keys to functions like Com, Nav, Heading, Course, Altitude, VS, Autopilot functions, etc., and then can enter the associated values just by typing on the keyboard’s numberpad instead of fiddling with elusive mouse click spots. NpC4FSX&P3D is programmed primarily for aircraft with avionics that were developed within standard FSX programming guidelines but also supports third party add- on aircraft such as the Flysimware L35A and MU2, PMDG 737NGX / B777, Flight1 King Air B200, A2A Cherokee 180, and also works with GPS units like the GTN750. Setup manual included. A registered (payware) copy of FSUIPC is required.

Landing_Params is a Lua script for FSX/P3D that displays landing parameters in a small text window that pops up after the aircraft has landed and reached taxi speed. The script should be activated with a key or button (like the gear down key/button) during the approach to landing. Parameters displayed in the window at touchdown are Indicated Airspeed (IAS, Kts), Ground Speed (GS, Kts), Landing Distance (LD, ft), Landing Roll (LR, ft), Vertical Speed (VS, ft/min), Attitude Indicator pitch at touchdown (AI), and Bounce Count (BC). Data collection begins when the a/c passes through a radar altimeter determined threshold altitude window between 45 and 55 ft (i.e., the nominal 50ft threshold height). In addition, more detailed landing parameter information may be logged. A registered copy of FSUIPC is required to execute the Lua script.

Kneeboard Viewer 2 (KV2) allows the user to open one or two ‘on-top-windows’ to view programs of choice, such as a web page like SkyVector, or a pdf reader for approach charts, in ‘kneeboard windows’ on top of FSX/P3D/X-Plane. The kneeboard windows may be sized and positioned as desired, and will stay visible on top of FSX/P3D/X-Plane while you fly, or may be toggled on and off (shown or hidden) by user selectable keys (or key combinations). There is also an option to control both kneeboard windows together as a unit with a single key. KV2 works in window or full screen mode with FSX/P3D/X-Plane. KV2 was developed as a possible replacement for the PDFkneeboard program which, unfortunately, does not currently work in the latest versions of P3D. However, KV2 does not depend on FSX, P3D or X-plane in any way, and in fact can be used as a general ‘window-on-top’ type of utility. Al Klayton

Included in the autopilot gauge is now a groundspeed panel.gau files will go into the FSX gauges folder. HAPX.dll will go into the FSX main folder. Excample panel.cfg entry inclueding the groundspeed panel: //-Window06 Backgroundcolor=0,0,0 sizemm=300,360 windowsizeratio=1.000 position=0.

A utility for generating model rule sets for vPilot. Can automatically detect and scan the installed simulator(s) (FSX, FSX:SE, P3D 1, 2, 3, 4) or be pointed to a specific directory (for example, a third party model set). Log output records which aircraft.cfg files were found and scanned, how many models were added to the rule set, and how many were not added due to being unable to match to an aircraft type or airline.

Detailed user manual included. For each aircraft control surface selected, AxisViewer will show the position of the joystick axis attached to the control surface, and the actual position of the control surface according to FSX/P3D. The benefits are: * Positive feedback on Control Surface Position. Ever ask yourself 'Self, just what is that autopilot/autothrottle doing, anyway?!' * Allow you to manually adjust the Axis Positions to match the Control Surface Positions, so that you don't get a nasty surprise (for example, sudden change in thrust) when the autopilot and/or autothrottle is disengaged. * Verification of joystick functioning and range of motion. * Clear indication of when 'dead zones' are entered. You will see the Control Surface Position 'snap' to a particular value as the Axis Position approaches the dead zone. Version 1.4 adds an installer, and options for appearance. See the user manual for details.

Detailed user manual included. Contains two functions that are useful for ground-based operations: * Pushback. Allows user to control a pushback, and receive visual feedback regarding speed and turn direction. * Taxi AutoThrottle. Works similar to an in-flight autothrottle, but meant for taxiing. No more fiddling with throttle controls to find that sweet spot! Throttle levers are uniformly and smoothly operated. No more fiddling with throttle controls to ensure uniform thrust! Version 1.3 adds an installer, and additional options for appearance. Please see the user manual for details

Freeware addons for Microsoft Flight simulator series, MSFS, Lockheed Martin Prepar3D (P3D), FSX, FS2004, Combat Flight Simulator and other PC Flight Simulation products like Xplane & Flightgear! Add free aircraft, more planes, addons, more scenery and airports. High quality freeware aircraft addons. Awsome addon for FSX The app is very nice, adds an AP panel that would be similar to those SAITEK ones, except a smaller version. There is one issue though, when changimg heading on iOS device for example to 135, the fsx autopilot would see at as 135, the server program would say 135 but the iOS panel would jump down to 134 which would be wrong.

Little Navmap is a free open source flight planner, navigation tool, moving map, airport search and airport information system for Flight Simulator X, Prepar3D and X-Plane. A map display using the OpenStreetMap as a background map which is only one option of many online and included offline maps. The map shows airports, navaids, airways, airspaces, AI or multiplayer aircraft and ships. A seamlessly integrated airport diagram displays taxiways, displaced thresholds, overrun areas, aprons, parking spots and more It supports approach and departure procedures like SIDs and STARs, offers several automatic flight plan calculation options and multiple export formats like GFP, FPL, GPX, RTE, FLP and X-Plane FMS 3/11 as well as drag and drop flight plan editing on the map. An elevation profile is shown for the flight plan. Search functionality allows to look for airports, navaids or procedures. The program can generate an ATS route description from flight plans and vice versa. The nav database can be updated by the Navigraph FMS Data Manager. A cycle 1307 database is included. Supported Flight Simulators: All FSX versions from SP2 up, Flight Simulator - Steam Edition, Prepar3D v2, v3, v4 and X-Plane 11. Supported platforms: Windows 7/8/10, macOS (10.10 or newer only) and Linux (64 bit only). Previous version had 2348 d/ls. https://albar965.github.io/.

This TrackIR Profile was created for FSX/P3D to give the user a full range of motion in order to maximize his or her field of vision. I recommend using this profile along with all of my EZDok Aircraft profiles available on Simviation.

ASAP final release postponed

Due to the current COVID-19 crisis and related software projects the final release of ASAP will be postponed until Q1/Q2 2021 or even later. ASAP beta (FSXPilot 64 bit for MSFS 2020 and X-PLANE) will be freely usable until then and we will implement improvements from time to time. Stay safe and happy holidays!

Beta update 2.95 after MSFS USA update

We published an update of the beta version today, because MSFS changed the Simconnect aileron support with the USA update of November 24th 2020. Trumps fault ? Our update will load automatically.

Program support now switches to Discord

This is a short information that we will switch our main program support to the Discord channel. Discord works well and is much easier to maintain and keep track.
Please expect longer delays, if any answers, for regular support emails. On the other hand - visit our Discord channels for fast support and regularly updated information.

New invite to Discord channel which does not expire

Always want the latest information on the all sim autopilot , chat or fly with us ? We are glad to inform you that our official Discord channel has been created today.

New beta update 2.9.3 is published - must be re-downloaded

We had to publish an update (2.9.3) of the ASAP beta (64-bit FSXPilot) on Wednesday, November 5th 2020. When you start your recent ASAP (2.9.2) there will be a message screen that the beta period 1 is over and you have to redownload the complete package. Please do that and unzip in a new folder. When you are in doubt and before error reports please check (after a failed run of ASAP) your session_dbg.txt file for the version in use.

Sorry for the inconvenience, thanks for beta testing, and have many great flights.

New MSFS compatible Makerwys by Pete and John Dowson available

This is great news: A new version of Makerwys by Pete and John Dowson is available. The tool allows extraction of all runways in FS2002, FS2004, FSX, P3D and MSFS. FSXPilot has an import routine. See the manual, search for 'Update AIRAC'.

Head over to FSUIPC website for the free download of Makerwys.

Thanks, Alan for the information!

New beta update ahead - must be re-downloaded

There will be an update of the ASAP beta (64-bit FSXPilot) on Friday, October 16th, 2020. When you start ASAP there will be a message screen that the beta period has ended and you need to register.
This is not yet the case. However, you will need to just re-download the beta as soon as this message appears. From thereon, there will be automatic updates of the beta on your computer. You will always have the latest version. These automatic updates will be functional until we have major program changes. You will be notified if the changes are so big that you need to reinstall the complete package.

Sorry for the inconvenience, thanks for beta testing, and have many great flights.

Official Discord channel launched

Always want the latest information on the all sim autopilot , chat or fly with us ? We are glad to inform you that our official Discord channel has been created today. Well will be there from time to time.

Please unzip the download into a separate directory and run fsxpilot.exe with admin privileges. You must be connected to the internet to be able to run the beta.
The new version may turn payware soon. There will be no automatic updates, please check back for updates frequently.
Always backup your aircraft.ini file if you make changes to aircraft parameters.
If you find bugs, want to give thumbs up, or have ideas please let us know.

Thanks, Steve and Roberto for making that happen.

Enjoy the ride.

FSXPilot will turn into ASAP

Orbiter Space Sim, FS9, FSX, P3D, X-PLANE, MSFS 2020 .... it has bee an incredible journey over more than a decade. With the upcoming support of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 (Q4) our software will finally represent the most universal and versatile autopilot for flight simulation available today.

To reflect this, FSXPilot will be renamed to ASAP - the All Simulation AutoPilot. It will be connected via a new domain: www.allsimpilot.com
See you in the skies ... asap please ;-)

Important MSFS tip

To our great surprise, FSXPilot seemed to work out of the box in MSFS 2020. Thank you, community, for your recent reports. However, it became apparent that MSFS 2020 dropped frame rates had some apparent stutters after connecting FSXPilot.
Fortunately, this was identified as an MSFS 2020 Simconnect bug (thank you Jim) and we expect an MSSF patch in the coming weeks https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/simconnect-stutter/162526
Until then, we recommend limiting the MSFS frame rate to 30 (thank you, Steve) for a slightly better experience.

The good news is: FSXPilot already today enables 'Flightseeing' in MSFS and proves to represent the true universal autopilot. A special MSFS 2020 edition of FSXPilot will follow.

Enjoy the eye candy.

Good progress

August 21th, 2020 We were ahead of schedule.

The first FSXPilot flights were performed with the new Microsoft flight simulator 2020 :-) There is much work to be done and the available SDK seems to be still incomplete.

Interestingly, FSXPilot flew out of the box with the old available Simconnect.dll (Steam FSX). At this point, we are happy to announce that an adapted version of FSXPilot will be available sooner than expected. Please check this page for the latest updates.

MSFS 2020 released

August 18th 2020 (MSFS Release date) We were able to install the new Microsoft flight simulator yesterday and were absolutely blown away.

The sim is excellent. Clouds and landscape are gorgeous even out of the box, there are beautiful and detailed planes ....

As even the SDK is available upon release, we made the decision yesterday to support the new MSFS 2020 with our universal autopilot.

So the great news is: FSXPilot will turn into MSFSPilot soon. We have no dates yet nor do we know yet about the mode of licensing.

Please stay tuned, this page will always be updated first.

Detailed Approaches - with RNAV, VOR/DME, ILS and Localizer in V 2.88 is online

FSXPilot now supports thousands of runway approaches (thank you Navigraph)

787 Fsx Addon

Short instruction for an approach in EDDL RNAV approach:

Takeoff in EDDF
Type 'select eddl' into the command line box and press return
Find a new menu entry in the quickselect menu 'Fly final approach to EDDL'
Choose the new entry, scroll down until you see the 05L RNAV entry
shortly above this line, select the DOM05 approach
Wait and fly the DOM05 approach along the blue line on the EFIS
At the last waypoint of the DOM05 approach, call the quickselect menu again and select the 'Fly final approach from xxx' entry
xxx is the next (the last) waypoint of the DOM05 approach
Select the correct runway
fly the final approach, the sink rate is automatically adjusted
When you see the runway at the outer marker, press STRG O to switch the autopilot off.

Manual landing (or tuning ILS), gear operation, flap setting is always required in this type of landing and as soon as you see the runway.

Upcoming soon: Detailed STARs - with RNAV, VOR/DME, ILS
and Localizer Approaches in FSXPilot

Good news from the FSXPilot headquarters: In the next major update, which will be released end of September 2019, we will integrate an additional AIRAC with detailed approach information into the data library of FSXPilot. This will enable to fly STARS to runways and the final standard approaches to airports worldwide. Regular updates to all AIRAC files can be downloaded at Navigraph if you are a subscriber. This will enable you to stay on the standard tracks with all flight major flight simulators. Besides other fixes, the new FSXPilot version will support throttle and flaps setting of the Zibo Mod B737 in X-Plane.

Youtube videos II

Due to request (thanks to Roberto) comments the youtube videos were restored until further notice.

Please use the online documentation, which can be found here: http://www.fsxpilot.com/manual/FSXPilotManual.html

New default AIRAC cycle 1804

By courtesy of Navigraph, provider of flight simulator AIRAC and navigation charts, we are able to include a more recent AIRAC in the default FSXPilot installation file.

The collection of files defines the number and position of NAV targets, airports, runways, SID and STARS. Cycle 1804 is a snapshot of the world situation in March 29th 2018.

If you need the very latest AIRAC please purchase individually or as a subscription (highly recommended) from Navigraph.

Important note: If you want to make use of 1804 (from the year 2018) you need to redownload and install the FSXPilot installer. 1804 will not be distributed via the update system, because some pilots may already have newer AIRAC versions on their hard drive.

Thanks, Richard, for providing 1804 to the community!

Cooperation with Navigraph

Today we have good news for you. Navigraph, one of the worlds leading provider of simulation charts and AIRACS, has implemented FSXPilot in their online and offline AIRAC updater.

For you, as an FSXPilot user, this means that you will be able to purchase and download the latest AIRACS with the click of one button. If you are a Navigraph subscriber, FSXPilot will be displayed in the addon list of the Navigraph update tool and AIRAC data will automatically copy to the right folder on your hard drive.

The new functionality will be available for the upcoming AIRAC 1904 which should be out this week. We will have to push a minor update from our side to enable the process.

We are super happy with this new situation. Navigraph has been a very reliable AIRAC provider and we were using one of there free AIRACS from day one of FSXPilot development.

Please be aware of the fact that a new AIRAC will overwrite the old one without notice! So if you have made manual changes in the AIRACS, please make backups first.

Thank you, Richard Stefan vom Navigraph, for your continuous support.

Hi again

We published a minor update today. It essentially brings a better and more versatile EFIS for the future and some more bug repairs!

And we have our own HTML based software manual now always available in the bar right -> and from FSXPilots Help menu.

Happy landings

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Between the years we are working on a minor update. In addition, we have test flown the marvelous Flight Factor A320.

Wishing you all the best for 2019 and always happy landings with FSXPilot.

Seasons Greetings!

Next decision made

There will be NO FSXPilot open source project in the foreseeable future. We just did not get enough feedback from you guys interested to maintain the code.
PRO will be integrated in the Shareware version on October 1st 2018, so there will be a massive one time usability boost for the shareware users, but progression from here will be very slow. Unfortunately, support will have to be reduced, too. Please do no longer expect immediate E-Mail reactions after Oct 1st. We will integrate a Donate button for the server to keep running. We have secured server operation until October 1st 2019.
Greetings

FSXPilot works with P3D 4.3

We have just tested the latest version of P3D (4.3) and FSXPilot. No changes, seems to work fine.

Reminder 1: If you want to hide FSXPilot windows completely, please just click on the FSXPilot icon in the taskbar. Clicking a second time will make the windows appear again.

Reminder 2: DO NOT adjust graphics settings or other flightsim parameters during a FSXPilot session. Always close FSXP completely, make your full adjustments in the flightsim, then better restart FSX, P3D or X-Plane, finally restart FSXPilot. Fly.

No paid Ad - X-Plane 11 and XEnviro ...

... the best flightsim combination we have ever flown. Fullstop.

EU Law disclaimer

We have deleted all personal data from PRO users in our database. During website registration, we only store your freely chosen username and your E-Mail address. During your FSXPilot flight session, your IP address gets monitored in order to distinguish the pilots on the statistics page. Do not start or install FSXPilot if you do not agree.

FSXPilot now supports 4K monitors

June 2018: We have published an update which allows scaling the AP and the EFIS panel with resizing the fonts of text and buttons. This allows operating FXXPilot on high-resolution displays.
Enjoy.

Aircraft library and FSXPilot shareware

If you work with FSXPilot shareware and want to edit your aircraft library the old fashioned way via fspilot.ini, you can do so but must rename or remove the file aircraft.ini from your FSXPilot home directory. We will take care of the conversion of that aircraft data into aircraft.ini when we switch PRO to freeware in October.

Decision on the future of FSXPilot PRO

Munich, April 29th 2018

After another long thought :-) the final decision on the future of FSXPilot PRO has been made. Due to new personal duties, many new projects in my real life job and lack of time for support and new developments FSXPilot PRO will now definitely turn freeware on October 1st 2018. This means: Shareware users can expect a huge functional update in October.

The transition from PRO to freeware will be in October. Please refrain from sending emails 'I want it earlier' 'Where can I get it earlier'. we will not make one exception.

The last registration (yesterday) has been refunded.

FSXPilot PRO Paypal purchase has been stopped today. The FSXPilot android app has been removed from the play store.

Please do not expect any updates (only relevant bug repairs) until October.

Our website content will be updated with these new details during the next months.

It has been an honor flying PRO with you.

Best personal regards

rudolf

Thank you

Our recent FSXPilot stats revealed that you guys increasingly use FSXPilot in FSX and X-PLANE. Today we want to say a big thank you. We added the TOP 100 'longest flights ever' and 'longest distance ever' script to our stats page. Absolutely amazing data there. Some of you have used FSXPilot in long distance flights over the period of several days :-) Is this a data bug ? If not - true devotion. Anybody wants to send a report ?

X-PLANE joystick sensitivity

Fsx Autopilot Addon Classic

We recently stumbled upon an interesting post concerning the X-PLANE joystick sensitivity, which has been quite annoying from time to time and has been a major X-PLANE criticism.

The guys from pilotworkshop.com quoted a study from the past, in which a 'great to fly' aircraft was defined as one that has a pitch - roll - yaw relation of 2:1:4. They recommended (X-PLANE joystick options -> control sensitivity) a setting of pitch 20%, roll 10%, yaw 40% (left sliders) and pitch 5%, roll 5% and yaw 0% (right sliders, augmentation). This works amazingly well so we wanted to share this. For more details please go https://www.pilotworkshop.com/getting-started-flight-simulation-2 and scroll down to the video 'Sample 2: Making it feel real'.

One last word: 2017 has been an amazing year for the FSXPilot / FSIMPilot. After declaring FSXP dead, then full reanimation, we now support X-PLANE and think that the hard decision to implement this into our universal autopilot was a very good one. We enjoy X-PLANE 11 every day.

Fsx Autopilot Addon Wow Classic

Now it is time to whish you a Merry Christmas and all the best for 2018. A small update will be published between the years with a little, but useful gift for PRO users.

Stay tuned ...

PRO System update (2.06) has been published !

We have just published the next PRO update. In this update, we implemented a 'V/S to airport' indication on the EFIS when the airport is selected as target and NAV button pressed. This displays the approximate negative V/S that is needed to reach the airfield 1000 ft above ground, taking into account the current altitude, ground speed and time to reach the target. Great for planning your exact descents. If you plan to descend with -1000 ft/min, wait until this value is displayed, then start your descent.

For all versions (will be included in next shareware update):
