Hey Guys,Now I dont know if i'm late on the band wagon here, but I have come across something simply amazing!!!!!!!Its a program from nasa called World Wind... It allows you to view any part of the world from any angle & 3D (Elevations)There is also an aeronautical addon that i came across that has every airport, airway High / low, Vor, NDB, localisers, frequencys... U name it.Now my reason for posting here is cause I am new to FMC based navigation and well its a good way to see where u are going, u can add a few extra waypoints for sight seeing and you can see where you would have flown over!!!..... Good for us newbies....Have a look at my attachemnt for an example... I have used denver as an example!!!Moderators Im not trying to flog this Prog in any way... I just thought that this interested the PMDG Community!!http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/ (Link to the program)http://www.worldwindcentral.com/wiki/Aeronautical (Aero Add on)Hope you like this as much as I do!!!!!Aidan RiceHome Port YBBN
