Old FS Nav Version work in FS9??

[Guest lobo13]

I've not been simming for awhile now, and am starting up again. I went to look for the latest in FS Navigator because I loved using it in FS2002. I see it is no longer available.I have an old version 3.0, and that's all. I've forgotten how to set it up in FS2002, and I see now that AVSIM doesn't even have a fourm for FS2002??But, I now want to set up this version to be used in FS9. Can this be done? If so, can anyone show me how, or threads that might explain how? I've searched, but found none.Thanks!!Lobo :)

Greetings.Yes, FSNav 3.0 will work fine with FS9 - I've used it for a couple of years. You can download the program and the accessory FS2000 databases from http://www.simviation.com/fs2000utilities_nav1.htm, following the installation instructions in the download. The FSNAV.dll and FSNAV.cnt files go into 'modules', and the 'FSNavigator' folder as a whole also goes in there. Make sure you install the additional databases as they cover pretty much what's in FS9. Don't forget to install the databases into FSNav on first use - I think it prompts you anyway. The only slight disparity is that some of the ATIS and VOR frequencies have changed since FS2000, so if your instrumentation doesn't repond, then you can check the frequencies on the FS map.Only one oddity: if you're flying a jet on auto-follow, the VS setting goes haywire when you get to BOD, but what I do is set it to off, and descend using the autopilot controls. (Anybody know a fix for this?)Post further if you need any more help.;)
