Aim is to have a ready to use flight preparation, if anyone want to try the heavies.
Main goal is do to some shared cockpit using the Zibo mod for the default Boeing 737-800, using some freeware out there.
No requirement necessary => Smartcopilot gives the opportunity to discover that kind of thing even if you know nothing, flying on right seat, having the guy on the left doing the job.
PART 1 / GETTING THE ADDONS
Ok, a lot of things to download. the two airports, for sure, but the associated libraries.
Libraries are 3D object. Airport creators use them to populate their scenery.
We'll use the ZIBO Mod for the default Boeing 737-800.
Furthermore, we'll two nice plugins, one to have the gate moving and a marshaller helping to park your Boeing, and the other one to perform the pushback.

PART 2 / FLIGHT PLANNING
For flight planning, here are some freeware.
SKYVECTOR https://skyvector.com/ is a nice map. It can show Low or High altitude enroute map or VFR map.
You can enter the airport of departure EGKK, the arrival ELLX, and enter a route as well, in our case => DVR UL9 KONAN UL607 REMBA.
Here is the result :
SIMBRIEF https://www.simbrief.com is a dispatching system. You need to register for free. It's a nice freeware preparation system.
Here is the result https://www.simbrief.com/ofp/flightplan ... 165095.pdf
About charts, NAVIGRAPH is one of the best out there, but payware.
So let's have a look on the AIP :
EGKK charts http://www.nats-uk.ead-it.com/public/in ... d=142.html
ELLX charts https://www.belgocontrol.be/html/belgoc ... en-GB.html
That's making a lot of charts ! But we'll use only those one :
For EGKK : We'll need the taxi plan, and the SIDs expected
And for ELLX : We'll need the STAR expected, the final approach and taxi plan
All the needed charts are on TS as well, in pdf format => with eBag you'll be able to open it in game !
With all of that you're pretty ready to go !
Next step should be a video about this flight.

First post edited, adding eBag plugin, a nice one, to read pdf in game.
Re: [ADVANCED TRAINING] B738 from EGKK to ELLX
I've tested smartcopilot with the Zibo, it's working quit well. So that's a good news.Thaine wrote:Great Stuff Miki. I'm happy to help with the video or training.
Was using 3.06p version of the aircraft. A complete rework of the FMC is in the work, version 3.10, but not stable at this time.
Re: [ADVANCED TRAINING] B738 from EGKK to ELLX
I'll have a more thorough look on Monday, hopefully.

Re: [ADVANCED TRAINING] B738 from EGKK to ELLX
I'm planning to give the Zibo 737-800 a shot tonight. Route or Circle training. If anybody's interested in shared cockpit, give me a shout.
