...it's all new and not fully tested in P3D v5, so please be on the lookout for problems.

Hi Steve
first of all thanks for the update
at the moment when i load IF i am unable to resize it will move to task bar and close but full screen is grayed out so wont open full screen
also when setting up a flight the flightplan menu screen is just a black box ie no flight data fuel waypoints etc

Cheers
Garry

Same as Garry on the resize issue.

Do you mean the maximize button on the top of the window? that's not used. Instead size of form is changed with the Other Settings page Form size.

The Kneeboard on P3D v5 is faulty at the moment, this shows as a dark page. After talking to ATC the Messages window will show the text, the other pages remain blank. We are waiting for a bugfix from LM.

Ok Steve

thanks

Working great man!

[Steve Waite]

Thanks!

Just a side note that there's at least 80,000 more waypoints in P3D v5 so some routes are more varied. Remember that Ideal Flight planner uses waypoints from the simulator scenery. When we integrate an AIRAC or download routes or use other planners, those routes are less varied.

Using Plan Builder: Follow Airways will adhere to one way route directions.
Plan Builder: Any Airways will ignore one way situations and increase variations.
Plan Builder: Ignore Airways - all airways are adhered to unless Ignore Airways is used, then join-the-dots routes are formed.
Avoid Controlled Airspace - will go around restrictions, but only if there are enough routes in the area. Otherwise the waypoint table will show minimum altitudes in Red.

Checking out the P3D v5 True Sky Beta clouds in Ideal Flight shows possibly a lack of variety in cloud types at the moment but layer count is not an issue.
