    About this ebook

    This book is dedicated to all those who like to fly very well, because flying very well means knowing how to maintain constant speed and attitude during take-off, flight and above all descent and landing. Probably no one will ever be able to teach you thoroughly, not even me of course, but in this book I give you a tool useful to check your behavior and consequently correct yourself.
    It is a program that I developed by myself, SimpleFDR.exe, which acts as a flight data recorder, the so-called "black box". This program, you can freely download from my website, allows you to graphically view and compare the proceeding of many parameters during the flight and especially in the last minutes of the landing phase.
    This book is a revised and updated revision of a previous edition from which I removed the part dedicated exclusively to programming.
    However, I wanted to keep a small technical part by briefly talking about DataBase and describing another program made by me, ReadAirportBGL.exe, which reads the BGL files relating to airport data and obtains also essential information for the flight.
    Everything was done using the FSUIPC interface with FSX, as widely described in my third book dedicated to the "AddOn" for the Simulator, of which this book can be considered as the natural consequence.

      Introduction

      As a follow up of my third book That’s my way with Microsoft FSX - AddOns, I decided to brush up on my knowledge of C/Cpp and the experience on the Borland compiler to set up some small application that connects to FSX via FSUIPC, as described in the document FSUIPC4 Status of IPC Offsets for FSX.

      I first started by trying to read the greatest number of parameters connected to the flight plan to run, but I realized that I was rewriting yet another FMC (Flight Management Computer). Many addons of this type are on the market, having different cost and degree of complexity, and I resolved it was not appropriate to continue further.

      However, I was able to find only one application that analyzes a flight by reading various parameters as happens in reality with the FDR (Flight Data Recorder), the so-called black box. It was an application even too simple; it was able to read too many parameters and graphically only one could be displayed at a time. So I decided to rewrite it from scratch, reading a lot of the most important parameters FSUIPC allows to do, storing their values with a subsequent possibility to read them both through an EXCEL file format or in a graphical integrated environment able to compare up to four of them.

      I called this program SimpleFDR.

      The title of this book, Check your Flights has the same meaning, in the sense it was not born to represent the functionality of FDR, but rather to control the flight performance.

      Learn to fly means knowing how to maintain constant speed and attitude during take-off, flight and above all descent and landing, where great importance has to be given to the alignment of the wings; with this respect absolutely avoid a situation like in the image in the cover, which exaggerates an incorrect behavior.

      Probably no one will ever be able to teach you in depth, not even me obviously; it's all a matter of experience and application. Say learn through your mistakes, but to correct yourself you must not only acknowledge that you have made a mistake, but above all see where and how you went wrong. I think that a program of this type can be useful to everyone, especially for those who are new to simulated flight. In fact, it is possible to check how one behaved during the flight, being able to graphically compare parameters such as IAS, altitude, rate of climb and above all attitude. It is important to verify, at the end of the flight, one’s behavior so to be able to correct oneself and learn how to fly.

      Beyond this program and the excellent experience of interfacing with FSX, I wanted to satisfy a curiosity I always had, that is to investigate the way in which Microsoft nests in FSX all the data of the various airports, landing paths , waypoints, beacons, etc.

      It does this by filling the
