TBH, I would heartily recommend looking for a decent payware aircraft during the sales, such as QualityWings 757 or 146, or perhaps Captain Sim. On the other hand, what you are looking for is full functionality and that is hard to add into an existing aeroplane after it leaves the developer retrospective additions are good but not perfect! It may be worthwhile adding FMC's to older aeroplane, so that they get a new lease of life, for instance, CLS and Just Flight's 'F-Lite' range can be brought up to date with ISG gauges.

Equally, some but not all will allow you to edit routes OR insert other waypoints, or enter direct to's that are not already present in the flight plan. There are many others, including Eric Marciano's EasyFMC ( ) though I'm not sure if this one allows speed/alt constraints, but the above two are worth checking out.Īnother point to consider is whether such gauges actually allow you to enter flight plans from scratch, or whether they only allow you to load the presently loaded FSX flight plan. However, a number of preconfigured cfg files for a large number of aircraft are available. There are some excellent payware gauges/FMC's, but the one that springs to mind are those by Ernie Alston ISGsim Simavionics, giving you advanced features for reasonable cost the main drawback is that this will not interact with the native displays of your aircraft, so you'll need to edit panel.cfg in order to place the FMC's and PFD/ND's into the VC (or 2D) panels. It's Navigraph friendly, and runs in Windows (NOT in sim).

It's freeware, and sadly it doesn't work with all versions of FSX. VASfmc is another example, as not only does it give users a full MCDU, but you also get MCP panels and PFD/ND's too. The Honeywell FMC is superb, and it does from memory manage advisory VNAV (not used it for ages, however). VNAV is one of the hardest components of aircraft avionics development to get right. Wanting an FMC to manage speed and altitudes is a big ask (!), as this is certainly moving into payware territory of better aircraft.
