I have changed my mind in coding the new Super Flight Planner IPC system. I had initially started with separated Windows in FS gauge style, showing the various flight data. While still on the infinite IPC test phase...

I have released SFP Tools with Airac converter for Super Flight Planner 4. Available in the SFP4 Add-Ons category (in Download). Apologize for delay, but I have been without network for several days, due to a failure on ASDL line.
Have a good day.

Super Flight Planner: simulating Arcs by using Radials

Super Flight Planner is known to generate realistic enough flight plans to comfortably flying your ATC plans. However it lacks a feature to display flight plan path without arc curves to compensate for the transition from a waypoint to another. Generally you don't bother display a smooth arc when you are at FL410. But, what if you have to do a smooth turn while descending to an approach?

What about Super Flight Planner?

Still a few days left. I'm not getting happy until I have flown at least 100 hours with the new IPC link system (currently 74.8 hours).

Super Flight Planner Progress - The new Autopilot

Here is a screenshot of the new autopilot, as you may see it's built upon the model found in FS2004's Boeing 777 (simple and complete with almost all autopilot switches). The new autopilot feature is now finished and fully functional.

Meantime, new ideas coming out: do not strip the old Fly-To routines (which are still fully functional, I have just commented out the source code), yet improve them by adding "Fly To Plan Waypoint" and "Flight Flight Plan" (a Super Flight Planner internally simulated GPS). Another is "Do a 360 deg turn", to avoid FS ATC coming out with "Please expedit descent to etc. etc.". The plane will do a complete 360 turn while keep on descending. Chances are I can add these new features with final release.

Hello guys,
I'm here to talk about the progress done on Super Flight Planner project so far. Next release should be ready at about end of next week . I'm now fine-tuning the new IPC system which already works flawlessly here; I will also see whether I'd had some time left to provide a simple radio stack, as well [...]

Hello people. Here is a screen shot of the work I did during the past days. Now, Super Flight Planner is able to display data from Flight Simulator GPS (both fsx and fs2004, depending on what you are running), as well as being able to increase to next waypoint, decrease to previous waypoint.
I have now started to focus on the autopilot system, which I'll introduce as soon as it's ready to go. We'll the proceed on distributing the very last Release Candidate and after several more test we'll enjoy the final product.
Keep in touch.
