X-Plane also has a plugin architecture that allows users to create their own modules and aircraft, extending the functionality of the software by letting users create their own worlds or replicas of places on earth. X-Plane is packaged with other software to build and customize aircraft and scenery, offering a complete flight simulation environment. I thought other people might find this useful.X-Plane is a flight simulator for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows by Laminar Research. I tried the procedure and I confirm it works. Copy the FAACIFP18 file, paste it into the folder "X-Plane 11 / Custom Data " and rename the file (FAACIFP18) to earth_424.datOpen X-Plane 11 and verify that the new procedures are in you FMS
That you can download free data from the FAA (free as in "your taxdollars at work") and plug them into X-Plane:ĭon't waste your time & money on Navigraph or Aerosoft!go to download the current CIFP file (Coded Instrument Flight Procedures) and extract the files. There are commercial subscriptions that offer you navdata updates for your sim, but honestly who feels like paying for an extra subscription on top of the ForeFlight one? More importantly, you can't practice tonight in the sim the actual approach you want to fly tomorrow. Short story, can't practice with the simulated Garmin 430 against the current plate you have in ForeFlight. If you use X-Plane and ForeFlight to practice approaches at home, you might have noticed that the nav data that comes with the simulator (I have v11) is wildly outdated.Ī bunch of approaches in the sim nav data are now really different from what's current: different intersections named differently in different places, and legs of different altitudes. I originally posted this on r/flying but the mods pushed it out to here.
