ATAVS 7 Released

Wow! Another major release in less than six weeks! This version adds a fuel loader, and integrates the PDP precision descent planner into ATAVS. Additionally this version provides support for the new performance paradigm, which will allow members to gauge their descent profile and compare the landing performance over time, and with other members.

ATAVS 7 is available in the Members Only area as a full install, or as an update; most users will simply need the update. For the update, download and unzip into the folder where ATAVS is installed - that's it.


QUICK START

1. Position aircraft on the ground at desired airport. ATAVS will detect the closest airport and use that as the point of origin.

2. Press the Start Flight button. After a few seconds ATAVS will send the first position report to the server that lets your flying companions know that you haved started the boarding process.

3. You can now open the Fuel Loader. ATAVS will detect your aircraft and if recognized, it will estimate fuel usage and reserves (note that the Fuel Loader will only alter Center Main, Left Main and Right Main tank levels).

4. You can minimize ATAVS - single click on the icon in the system tray when ready to restore.

5. After landing, taxi to the gate. Click on the "Stop Flight" button. ATAVS will add an entry to the top of the logbook.

6. To log your flight, select the new entry and press the "Send Flight Report" button to send the flight report to the server. Your default browser will open a web page where you complete the flight report.

7. Go to #1 (sweet!)
