OK. I hope the studying goes well. Good luck with the test. Will be missing you.

This update 04 for P3D v4/5 is to avoid the "Cannot load settings" message during setup on some systems:
Ideal Flight Professional P3D v4/5

I think I found a bug with preview 03.

I go to the profile selection and select a different profile. I only have two profiles at the moment, but when I go back to the first one, the profile updates the aircraft each and every time, even after going to the homepage and trying again. The aircraft updates aren't supposed to happen until I go back to the homepage right? They are still happening when I scroll now, however when I go to profile 1 it happens every time I'm in the dialog.

[Steve Waite]

OK. Thanks for the report, I'm checking through that right away.

[Steve Waite]

I found there was still a circumstance where it had to add new aircraft. Thanks!

Hopefully the aircraft situation is resolved with Preview 05. Thanks for all the help and support.

Currently I'm adding voice to pushback operations and looking into pushback assistance.

Thanks for all the help, support, feedback and suggestions!

[Orinks]

Awesome, can't wait to try it out! I use GSX for pushback though, so when using that my main issue is knowing which direction to push back because it depends on which runway you're taxiing to, among other things.
Have any of the updates to the MSFS SDK gone in the direction of IF support? I wonder if it'll allow you to programatically create a flightplan and flight file and then load it immediately. I'm not sure if MSFS has commandline support like you use to open and load everything in the first place. That might be a start at least.

[Steve Waite]

MSFS requires different methods than FSX and Prepar3D, but with MSFS the flight plan and flight file can be created programmatically like we do with FSX/P3D but that flight would then be loaded from the menu. In terms of allowing certain aspects of accessibility we have to wait for the time being to see what they do before considering an application like Ideal Flight. So far MSFS is oriented to providing enhanced image graphics to the simulation and that comes in a package ten times bigger than Prepar3D.
