Some Basic Questions
Some Basic Questions
I been trying find to find how to change the type of plane in PE when filing a plan. I now fly the Arrow (PA28R) and changed from the Panthera (PANT). I know it is easy but one of those things I can't find. Thanks in advance.

You'll have to build your aircraft list. Click AIRCRAFT LIST button>Add, then select your aircraft type (P28R). It should be auto filled when you go to file your flightplan through the PE client.
Edit for future readers: This guidance only applies to FSX

Thanks Scott,
I will try tomorrow. I assume XP works like FSX. Have a great holiday!

Xplane works entirely different than FSX. In Xplane, when you go to connect, just enter in the ICAO code for your aircraft in the appropriate field. No need to add anything to a list.

Re: Some Basic Questions
The X-Plane plugin reads the ICAO identifier from the actual ACF file, you no longer enter it manually. If it's not specified correctly by the aircraft author (this happens fairly regularly, unfortunately), then you need to fix the ICAO code for the aircraft using PlaneMaker.

Thanks Keith,
I appreciate the response. Here's to a wonderful New Year for both your families, the real one and the PilotEdge.

Re: Some Basic Questions
Kevin, that guidance is no longer correct. Users don't manually enter the ICAO code in xplane anymore, it's read from the ACF file via the plugin SDK.kevin meyers wrote:Xplane works entirely different than FSX.
