How to Fly on VATSIM Without an FMC (Use Default GPS!)
581In this tutorial I explain how to fly on VATSIM using the default GPS instead of a Flight Management Computer (FMC). The first half of the video shows how to plan basic routes while the second half demonstrates how to plan more complex routes including SIDS and STARS. I use a website called SimBrief.com to help me organize my flights and generate a flightplan that can be imported directly into FSX.
Be advised: Flying SIDS/STARS using this methods requires that you have all charts available and meet all altitude and/or speed restrictions manually. There is no LNAV/VNAV capability with the default GPS. Using an FMC is a more efficient way to fly complex routes, this video just shows you an alternate method.
Thanks for watching! Comments are always welcomed.
