What’s included?

Within this package, you will have access to a massive selection of universal designs and ideas that are used in just about all modern aircraft. By utilizing these you make it much easier to control and then manage your flight in the way that a professional would. It can be the most useful addition to your system, helping you find a more universal way of flying instead of relying on the old-school methods that so many people tend to stick with. Indeed, by doing this you will find it much easier than ever before to stay on track with accuracy. Some of the key features which are included will include;

• The ability to follow FSX flight plans which have been designed by either the simulator or a third party. By using these, along with a chosen APPROACH PHASE, you can make sure that you are able to alter and improve flights.

• Have the capacity to manage key features such as TAKE OFF thrusts as well as TOGA, MAX THRUST, CRUISE and AUTOMATIC depending on the economic index as well as the parameters of the weather thus making your flight easier to handle.

• Calculate your optimum V1, VR and V2 functions along with cruise speeds which, according to your overall cruise altitude, can calculate speeds in both your knots AND your Mach settings to help you stay on track and maintain accuracy when flying.

• Find a way to control your Longitudinal Navigation and your Vertical Navigation functions when you are climbing, cruising and/or descending. This takes into account key features such as your economic speed and your altitude along with various other user-modified speeds and altitudes to fit with TRANSIT and RESTRICTED speeds.

• Manage your flight with relative ease thanks to the use of function cruises to climb up into the sky economically – now, you make sure that you are flying in compliance with all ICAO standards and user-defined values.

• Complete control of your HOLD functions at a specific position, programmed altitude or even at a pre-defined waypoint with an adjustable leg time or distance, speed and/or altitude.

• Manage FIX functions when it comes to heading to a specified VOR system in general.

This modification also does a great job of helping you get to grips with key functions along the way, ensuring you always have the information that you need such as;

• ATC – Manage flight numbers, aircraft identities and various other features.

• VNAV – Take control of various speeds and altitudes to help you settle when flying.

• LEGS – Help you manage each waypoint, heading, distance and altitude without any other features needed.

• PROGRESS – Master your actual position as well as your previous/next waypoints to make sure you are never out of time and/or fuel along the way.

• APPROACH – Useful and vital information on the flap settings in general as well as the corresponding speed limits which are required during an approach, speed and aircraft weight calculation for maximum accuracy.

• NAV - This shows you how to access radios, OBS and radials to the best of your ability. Helps you to look for NAV ILS and COMM codes by using the same ICAO standards mentioned above.

• COMM – Use radios both active and in standby, ADF and even the transponder to get the most out of your system.

• POSITION – Take on the current position of your aircraft at departure and also three positions of the Inertial Reference System. This lets you use key features such as;

• Input data directly into the same using all of your function pages, ILSs and various other extra such as STARs to help you stay on track by following your ICAO code directly. Simply click on the FMC keyboard on-screen to make this happen.

• Follow APPROACH and TRANSITION retrievals as described in the above messages.

• Manage the brightness of your aircraft so that it fits with both PDF and MFD systems to give you a comfortable viewing style when flying.

• Allow your aircraft to be flown totally manually so long as you have not selected a ROUTE.

• Manage the way in which you manage the autoland feature, giving you new ILS capture right through to manage the full stop on the runway.

Limitations
