- | * First and foremost: Stay calm. =) | ||
- | * Copy the coordinates from the Yacaars LAT and LON fields or write them down on a piece of paper. Also note your current altitude. | ||
- | * Check the **Fuel in FTW** field in Yaacars. IF this reads " | ||
- | * Check the Yacaars log for keywords like WARP or REFUEL. If you see those, the flight will not be salvageable. | ||
- | * In Yaacars, suspend the flight. | ||

+ | |||
+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | |||
+ | | ||
+ | |||
+ | * The next step is the sim restart. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Select the coordinates from the copied LAT and LONG numbers from Yaacars as the starting point. The user has to find out how to do this in detail for the different sims. (Here the plane can even be on the ground or in a radius of a few NM from the actual point, FTW is tolerant). | ||
+ | * When the sim has loaded and you are no longer in the menu, pause the sim. | ||
+ | * In Yaacars under " | ||
+ | * Transfer the displayed fuel value into the sim, and continue the flight as usual with "start flight" | ||
+ | |||
+ | * It should be noted that this feature is experimental. It has worked in countless tests, but there are a lot of variables involved that we cannot influence. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
- | * Restart your SIM and position your flight approximately at the location where you crashed and also at the same altitude. | ||
- | * In Yaacars, retrieve the flight plan and configure your flight as per the values shown. | ||
- | * Continue your flight. Good luck! |
