Yeah, it look like as map only. May be i will rework it in future. Thanks!

not runway, but approach I think. One runway usually have several approaches.

Using the latest version for a quick flight from EIDW to EGLL.  Problem taxiing.  Told to sue the Bravos down to RWY10.  However, there is a plane coming up the opposite direction.  Then asked to hold short of 16/34 as it was busy.  Checked the radar and there was nothing on approach.  There was a plane on the ground at the start of 16 just going round and round in circles.  As it wouldn't clear the runway, I couldn't get clearance to continue.

I continued anyway and got to RWY10.  Was asked to hold short.  Checked the radar and there is nothing approaching or on the runway.  Sitting here for 10 mins now and it doesn't look as though I'll get any further.

Good day,
Hi, you had a SASL crash ;
SASL ERROR] Error updating avionics: [string "E:\Program Files (86)\steamapps\common\X-Plan..."]:0: attempt to perform arithmetic on a string

This is usually when you advance the XL w/o clearance.

Happy Flying,

Good day,

starting a new test KSAN to KAVX yet I am getting an error message that the KAVX airport that is on the list of approved airports yet it is, and the JPG is showing this error.

I am using the DC-3 aircraft so I re-started X-Plane and will see if using another aircraft is  going to change the system.

I did enter the arrival airport and the widget removed it and gave me an error message...
this is why I posted the message ...

I also re-downloaded the airport so, I know i had a fresh copy this  also put me over my allotted 20 GB of data for the month so my Cable bill is going to be over 250.00 US dollars.

Happy Flying,
Brian

In real life I hear pilots requests for different runways often. Sometimes pilots have a preference. The other day I heard "Delta 34 request runway 16L" at KDEN  An approach used is often coupled with the runway being used and yes their can be multiple approaches. For instance at Kennedy Int NY KJFK, runway 13L is a VOR visual approach mostly while 22L is a VOR/DME or ILS depends upon visibility at the field. Control towers will try to honor a runway change for landing if for instance there are parallel runways 16L 16R and conditions are favorable to other traffic

If mostly of the questions are answered with YES, I will update from 1.0xxxx to 1.1:

• Is the procedure now right? ATIS -> DEL -> GND -> TWR -> DEP -> CNT, or is it still from TWR to APPR???
• Can I ask for a new FL?
• Will be approach now equal to actual ATIS? Or procedures like on LSZH?
• Is it handling VFR?
• (This not NO or YES ) No out of the box for A LOT of airports, only some sorted out. No, I don't want spent first hours to make PANC or PAUN, FABL, SAWH, and so on, if I decide to fly on a weekend, when not sitting in real cockpit of SWR and EDW, and all the .apt are existing
• Is the logic fixed, that an airplane stands in front of me, when I'm taxiing?
• and some other points

Don't get me wrong, I'm still interested, and reading with curiosity. But at this moment it is not THE solution. And, I'm afraid to say, I think, in 10.5 we get a complete new ATC. For 40'000+ it has to be a universal solution, and at this moment it isn't. But it's beginning, and as some other followers are pray... saying, it's a beta. I think, in 1.6 or 1.7 it will be a solution. If there isn't X-Plane 10.5 on the horizon.

Cheers Thomas

Using "Simbrief.com" is very problematic for many reasons. Additionally not every simmer would like to use it and if so there is a  need to subscribe "Navigraph Charts" for getting actual data.... (like now Airac Cycle 1606). I think a better idea if possible will be to bound "Online flight Data" flight route into XL Flight Plan. I have great problems with the routes that XL Flight Plan offers ! The route is not fitting the RWY's I get from XL ATC  nor the SID and STAR's. Some of the  XL routes are even pointing in the wrong flight direction ! (I presented already some days ago one example...).  In fact I have to work hard to correct or create an alternative route on FMC. This is annoying if I am flying a short route and have not much time to program STAR on FMC before reaching TD.

I think that the "Flight route" problem should be one of the urgent thinks to solve. Strangely enough is the fact that this problem occurred only in the last beta versions (I think from version 1.5 or 1.6b)

Second test flight KSAN -KSFO

No crash

KSAN: Good frequented air and ground traffic. One problem,  aircraft was positioned on taxiway. Trying to find a suitable parking lot is not possible because airport scenery has not numbered parking lots, even not at the terminals.

KSFO: busy airport traffic. FM car brought me to an occupied parking lot.

Problems: Flight route planning I described before.

Good day,

Most of the Nav errors is due to not having your nav data up to date and yes, XP ships with Nav Data but to be accurate you need to
Buy you Nav data there is no way around it and no way to sugar coat it.
So, I recommend using Navigraph Nav data since you can download either the Areosoft Nav data or the Navigraph data depending on which type of computer you have PC uses Areosoft while Navigraph is for Mac.

Next, I Use the cloud charts since it is meant to go with the nav data.

Nevertheless, after navigating the seven sea as a navy veteran I can tell you the charts that Navigraph puts out are dependable and easy to use. So, you can argue with anyone else if you want to but I will stick to what I know works and while I watch everyone post there issues I will be in the air flying and landing with confidence because, I am using charts and nav aides that work.
