Hello Steve,
I can't wait to test the speech module and the flight assist functionality when that comes out. I would also like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the time and energy that you have put in to make IF accessible for us. When It's Your Plane randomly went dark with no explanation from anybody (if I remember right), it was a pretty big step backward in terms of accessibility to a hobby that we all enjoy.
On the topic of flight assist, which I know is coming later, something that FSTramp cannot do well at all is difficult mountain approaches and departures. It will not engage the AP until you reach a sufficient height to clear the mountains. Just try taking off from, say, KASE (Aspen, CO, USA) for an example. So is there any way that IF could facilitate those tricky landings and takeoffs? I fly for a VA, and will discard any generated flight that requires something complicated like that.
Earlier in this thread, someone was asking about getting information from gauges and the like. Some aircraft, not sure about all of them, use l:vars that will expose information to FSUIPC. I'm not sure if SimConnect has something similar.
HTH, and have a blessed holiday season,
Tyler
