Cigar Box in MSFS2020
« on: March 14, 2021, 04:46:24 PM »
Just a heads up.

First of all you will need to acquire FSUIPC (Free or Paid) for those who have had a paid version in the past, Pete is offering a discount for the upgrade.

Be sure to un check the auto save box in settings (Cigar Box)

When you file your Pirep, you WILL get an exception error....press ignore and it will file correctly.  You can check the home page of the web site to see that it went though.  It actually files very quickly although you may think it's taking a long time.

We will post additional information as we learn more.....

Happy Flying,

Henry

Could be wrong but it appears it is only the latest latest FSUIPC v7.0.6 which connects to Cigar Box. (Previous versions didn't). In any event a bonus for sure for those running MSFS. 

For MSFS users, many of the MFC flights can be flown in MSFS and will be accepted but note that some routes that contain rtmm location will not be seen in MSFS however if these locations are shown as landing locations on the flight leg just select a close alternate that is present in MSFS and will accept.

(The Cigar Box charter option also works fine with MSFS so you can define your own flights which will be accepted. (North America only please). 

(Please turn off the auto-save option in Cigar Box by unchecking the Auto-Save button which is located in Cigar Box >> Recovery > Settings then SAVE icon. )
