The problem with SimBrief is that it cannot see the scenery of FSX and that is
why you are unable to tell it which gate you want to start from. I found
another problem where FSX did not even recognize the flight plan file correctly
when I tried to load it.

Thanks, that worked. Now that the first issue is out of the way...any ideas on
the second (regarding focus issues with IYP, making it impossible to switch the
ATC mode)? I can't recall, is there a way to change ATC modes by voice
command...and does anyone have any info on the live ATC mode, given that the
IYP website is unhelpful on this point?

If I remember correctly it goes in your Other folder located in the
Flights Folder of FSX.

Thanks. Also...if you've tried sending that file, it's not coming through as
an attachment or anything. Send a link to it, and please let me know where to
put it in my FSX installation. Thanks!

would like to use it. If I decide to use it, I will see if I can figure out
a way for you to be parked at a gate.

Alrighty then, I'll take the file. I just wish SimBrief would allow for that
level of fine-grained control, because the FSX flight planner is woefully
out of date. I don't even know what AIRAC cycle it's using, nor do I know of
any way to update its databases.

Since I use FSX's flightplanner, I can set the position of the aircraft to
an active runway or to a gate or ramp position.

Sure, I'll take it. Will this file also work for custom, add-on aircraft?
Or would I need to modify it to handle that? Also, where will the aircraft
be positioned if I use this file...at the gate, or at the runway? Because
it seems, and I have no way to verify this, that when I start a flight with
a flight plan loaded, the aircraft is positioned on the runway.

Subject: [bvipilots] Two Questions/Problems
Hi guys,
So, it's me again...with two problems this time.
Problem 1:
In preparation for flying online on VATSIM, I started to pay more
attention to the way I load a flight plan and a flight. What I've noticed
is that SimBrief, which I like to use for generating my FSX flight plans,
has a tendency to want to start the aircraft at a given runway, not at a
gate or ramp. In addition, when I create a brand new flight, for some
reason the thing is loaded with the engines on and the aircraft
moving...definitely not something I want when trying to prepare to fly
online! I decided to try setting up the "Location" section of the free
flight window with the airport and gate, rather than the airport and the
default of "Active Runway," but it still didn't do quite what I wanted.
What would you all suggest I do to keep from starting with the aircraft
moving and the engines on?
Problem 2:
Zack mentioned this "Live ATC" mode that is available in IYP that is used
when flying online. However, I can't find any info about it on the website
(the section just reads "***Under Construction***"), nor can I get the IYP
window to focus properly to change the active ATC mode from Simple ATC
Plus to the other mode. I'm using JAWS and Windows 10. Thoughts?
Thanks in advance for your help.
