What do you want for the next version?
Recommendation 1: Voice interaction State: Considering
Recommendation 2: More checklist options State: I'm considering creating four basic checklist packages that will cover the following airframes: Emb, Airbus, Boeing, and CRJ. These will be all encompassing checklist that the avg user can follow, but will be based on real-world ops.
Recommendation 3: Integrate into FS2004/x. State: I'm not a huge fan of this idea as I typically detach these types of gauges and drag them onto my second monitor anyway.
Recommendation 4: Allow the user to manipulate the GUI size/shape. State: This is going to happen!
Recommendation 5: Create a forum where users can share there profiles. State: Completed...good idea.
Keep the ideas coming...

tpa, to add a custom airport do the following:
1. Navigate to the following path *\FSFO\NavData 2. Open the Aiports.cfg text file via Notepad 3. Scroll to the bottom 3a. Add the following lines:
A, ICAO, Airport name, lat coord, long coord, Airport Alt, Trans Alt, 0, longest runway (ft)
after this line, enter the runway information. For each runway at your airport enter the following lines:
R, rwy number, rwy heading, rwy length (ft), rwy width (ft), 1 for ILS 0 for no ILS, ILS Freq or 000.000, rwy heading, rwy lat coord, rwy long coord, rwy threshold elevation, glide slope angle, 0, 0, 0
Let me know if you need additional help....

Thanks for the info. Also what if the airport does not have a weather station? This seems to make first officer crash. Is there a way of turning off the weather reports.. I looked under the dispatch options and turned dispatch messages off..

I see the problem, TPA...could be fixed with quick catch statement. I'm almost ready to release V2, which won't require the user to enter the Airport ICAOs though....

I mainly use Twin Otter right now so I do a lot of little runs. My question is, is there a way to do a complete shut down and then a full start up with the plane without having to exit FSFO. Right now when I'm done with a leg, I do the shut down check list but when I force the flight phase to "before start" to get going for the next leg, I end up with FSFO telling me the engines are up and running but they are not since everything is off.

Unfortunately FSFO will have to be restarted to reset all the parameters...I'll correct that with the next version though...
