The following screenshots are intended to provide a very general overview of some of the features
of FSX Planner. For more details it is recommended the you read the manual or the FSX Planner
Features Explained articles. You may click on each screenshot for a larger image.
The FSX Planner interface displays all the information about your airport in one easy to read display.
Toolbars allow you to easily select the appropriate tool for the desired task. Object property
windows are constantly displayed with information updated in real time without the need to close
the window or click an OK button after every change.
Object property windows can be dragged to other locations, or closed completely if desired.
Runways are accurately rendered with all attributes displayed, such as runway numbers, markings and
navigation aids like VASI and PAPI and ILS feathers.
Runway and Taxiway lighting are accurately and realistically rendered.
All aspects of the airport tower can be adjusted from the viewpoint to the scenery object used
to display the tower within FSX.
Jetways are fully supported and rendered to display their position and heading relative to their
parking location. Changes to the gate name and number of a parking location will also be updated
in the appropriate jetway, ensuring your jetways stay associated with your gates.
Scenery Objects are fully supported. You can add as many scenery objects to your airport as
desired. Many stock FSX scenery objects can be automatically added, such as fuel stations or
navigation stations.
The use of background images is supported, allowing you to import an background image and
use it as a template to trace your airport.
Background images can be drawn below the airport diagram, or superimposed as a transparent layer.
Vehicle parking locations are displayed using the unique truck icon.
Fuel triggers and fuel scenery objects can be added to a parking location through the click
of a button, allowing you to create everything necessary for a fully functional refueling
station at your airport.
The Taxiway Sign Wizard is designed to make creating taxiways easy. You no longer have to
type in variouos cryptic symbols and hope you get it right. This wizard displays your
taxiway sign exactly as it will appear in FSX and provides buttons for the various options.
FSX Planner gives you fined grained control over exactly what parts of the airport should
be written to the bgl file, which parts should be deleted from the stock airports, and what
exclusion rectangles you want to incorporate into your design.
FSX Planner provides an easy way to manage the complex approach data. Each type of approach leg
contains color coded labels letti you know exactly what information is needed for the chosen leg
type.

Frequencies Dialog.
