Hi again. I'm currently on the trial version of Iyp and I've managed to get in
the air. At the minute, Mike performs the takeoff but does not do all the
things such as retract flaps and gear as well as controlling airspeed. Is this
just because I'm currently on the trial version?

Declan,
No, I was talking about the flight file, which is distinct from the flight
plan file. The flight file has a .flt extension, and are created by the
save/load buttons on the main “free flight,” screen. Those are the buttons
you need to use, not the save/load buttons on the flight plan screen.
Best,
Zack.

So once I have created my flight plan, I have to save it, and then click on
load, select it and click okay again, before clicking fly now. Before i
was just creating my flight plan and then clicking fly now straight away.

Declan,
Either screen reader should be okay. YOu probably want to start from a gate
or ramp.
When you create and save your flight, are you then loading it into the sim
again? If you don’t do this, you will still get your “no flight plan has
been loaded,” message. This is not actually true, as the “destination work
around,” I mentioned previously still lets you fly and get distance
information and so forth.
Best,
Zack.

If I wanted to make a flight plan, and I think I'm following the correct
process on the flight deck doc, do I need to select a runway or ramp to
start from. That's the only reason I can think of why it wouldn't be
working. If so, how do you do this as I'm struggling to get this part to
work in the filters area so it will read with my screen reader. Just in
case if one is easier, I have jaws and NVDA.

This is a bit buggy, or at least not as intuitive as it could be. You've
created a flight plan, but you haven't saved an FSX flight. You can read
about the process in the flight deck document on the IYP site, or
alternatively just say, "Make the destination airport 'icao code'," which
also seems to work. Personally, I feel like flights are just a little too
cluttered, and I prefer this latter method.

Hi again, sorry for all the questions. When I do a flight plan, I select
the aircraft and weather conditions before going to flightplan and
selecting my start and end destinations, before selecting IFR and low
altitude airways. Then I click okay and save it. Then I click fly now,
but then Mike says no flight plan has been loaded. I have also made the
local database to make sure that its working.

Declan,
If FSX isn’t paused, the “Q,” key is used to mute and unmute sounds. Is
it possible you hit this by accident? Alternatively, P pauses or
unpauses the sim.
Best,
Zack.

By default, flight simulator will pause when you switch away from it.
There's a setting under General settings that is called something
like pause on task switch. You need to turn that off.

Hi, so I'm still having problems getting it's your plane to work
with my simulator. Here's what I'm doing at the moment if someone
could tell me what I'm doing wrong. I launch it's your plane and
then launch the simulator. I click on free flight, select the Cessna
aircraft and then select my starting point. I'm not doing a flight
plan at this point. Then I click fly now. I wait for the scenery to
fully load, and i usually get an engine sound from the aircraft but
I have been told by someone cited that the plane is currently
sitting on the ground. I alt tab to it's your plane and Mike starts
talking, explaining about me being in the trial version. Then he
says it's your plane we are ready to go, but when I try and give him
any commands, like do all checklists or open options panel or
something, nothing happens. I just get the beats from speech
recognition telling me it didn't understand, even though I have
configured it already. Also, when I tab back to Microsoft flight
Sim, I no longer hear the engine sounds. I'm just not sure where I'm
going wrong really.

Hi Declan,
This is probably because you just picked the type of aircraft you
wanted, and not its location. The default FSX flight starts with
you already in the air.
The solution is to go to the second Change button, which lets you
pick an airport to park at. The search interface is a bit
confusing, and I usually just memorize the airport ID of the place
I want.
Hope this helps,
Zack.

Hi. I have just purchased Microsoft flight simulator steam
addition with Iyp. I have completed all of the set up and I'm now
looking to try and complete my first flight. I was just wondering
if someone could help me with the procedure, so far I have managed
to only load the aircraft in flight at which point I wipe he asks
me if I would like to do the descent checklist. Could someone
assist me with loading the aircraft at a gate/ramp so I could run
through all of the checklist and complete the flight properly.
Thanks for any help, Declan
