Hello-Max has retired from virtual glider development.You can find a lot of answers and downloads at http://www.virtualsoaring.org/ http://x-c.home.att.net/ and http://www.fsglider.de/frset_e.htm.Cheers

It's in the Tips and Tricks section at FSGlider.

Here is a link:http://www.fsglider.de/Select English as the display language - the flag at the bottom of the screenSelect the English Tips and Trick on the left of the page.What you are after is about half-way down the page which will then display. The viewer and two manuals are available.Hope this is helpful

Many thanks guys I have it now.I have now to work out how to use it.I can't seem to get the info into my GPS/NavWould appreciate any helpRegards

[Guest James451]

The flight viewer writes to the GPS-NAV file in the main FS9 folder. The GPS/NAV reads this for waypoints and tasks. Make sure you have L-NAV files, modules and FS9cfg set up right too.Cheers

Hi there, apologies for not replying sooner.I have got all the instructions I could find but I cannot find anything on how to actually configure, well anything.I have been able to use the GPS-Nav but only by entering the data manually.I can find nothing on setting up or configuring the L-NAV.Would you be kind enough to give me a full explanation of how to configure all these things.Many thanks.RegardsRichard.

Sorry edit time expired. [ you don't get very long]As far as I can tell the guages in the gliders are working fine.Except I can't find how to change the date in the L-NAV, its this sort of thing I can't find any info on.Also although I have the Veiwer instructions they don't actually tell HOW to set up a flight.I have been able to create a TASK but then don't seem to be able to proceed from there to get the task into the GPS-NAV.All very frustrating as I know I am almost there.RegardsRichard.

AFAIK date can't be changed.Press the send button on top row to overwrite GPS-NAV DAT file with new task.The cai-set-manual tells you how to operate the L-NAV and GPS-NAV including how to start a task.Cheers.
