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!

Oh I know. The FSX Flight Planner has been pathetic at best for as long as I

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level of fine-grained control, because the FSX flight planner is woefully out
of date.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.

I have a cold and dark file that would replace the default file for FreeBlind and Visually impaired Pilots mailinglist
Flights in FSX. It will have all aircraft already be at the cold and dark

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.
-Tyler
