I love the Aerosoft CRJ, but...

Postby Orinks » Fri Apr 19, 2019 1:51 am

I wish Aerosoft and other developers would open their interface up to other developers so that IF and other apps could interface with them.

I'm saddened that due to total inaccessibility on their part for the sake of ultra-realism, I'm stuck with going with full fuel every flight with this thing. FSTramp flies it okay, but if I could load the Ideal Flight plan into the CRJ FMC via the keyboard and I have it set to do everything else automatically like load the route and calculate/load fuel from the CRJ manager, I'd love it.

The IF plan is just a .PLN so technically, if the plane can't load that, then it's not 100% compatible. Check what plan types the aircraft can load and where the file is required. Then use the IF Exports window to assign an export.


I found an error in the Setup which has been holding up the Preview for a few hours...nearly there...

Later on I will be looking into providing additional export files and features if they are asked for.

The Aerosoft aircraft can load PLN files, however the interface to do so, via the FMS gauge, is inaccessible.

Yep. Perhaps a user question: Ask them if the plan load can be automated, for example some FMS load a file if one exists.
