Flightgear

Sunday, June 30th, 2013

After one touch & go and one go-around I made a very nice manual(VFR) landing at EDDF as you can see in this video @40m00s. Later that day I finally found out how to use the 777 autopilot for autolandings (LOC, APP) and even did one auto-takeoff (TO/GA) Ctrl-t.

I also made flightgear more convenient for me with some changes in
/usr/share/games/flightgear/preferences.xml. I added userarchive=”y” for the comm & nav frequencies and radials. Now my valuese are saved when I quit flightgear.

And I added some values to ~/.fgfs/autosave.xml so that the map starts always transparent and with traffic enabled.
