• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FSX Utilities

Description: This V2 package contains a custom autopilot and two GCA (Ground Controlled Approach) gauges: Approach Pattern Control (APC) and Precision Approach Radar (PAR). You can request Pattern Control from 20 to 30 miles out, and the Approach Controller will set you up for a downwind, dogleg, or straight-in approach, leading to an intercept point from which to start the final descent. At the intercept point, the PAR Controller will take over and talk you down until over the runway. The GCA processes can be run in auto or in manual mode, allowing various realism challenges. The project is highly indebted to Karol Chlebowski's AILA (Airborne Instrument Landing Approach) gauge, adapted by permission of the author, and Doug Dawson's sound DLL gauge.

FS9-specific modifications by Tom Gibson, historical research by Tom Harnish, GCA gauges and manual by Manfred Jahn.

Any older version will have to be removed/uninstalled for this one to work, but otherwise installation is faster and more economical.

Changes from V1 include:

- FS9 compatibility
- some new soundbites: APC to identify planned approach type (straight-in or downwind)
- intercept distance settable from 6 to 12 miles
- better APC > PAR handover
- more detailed AP readouts and functions
- revised PDF Manual
