February 4, 201115 yr If you have a need for a moving map using actual charts (US), this is what you have waited for, and it's FREE !http://www.blueskyscenery.com/index.htmlIt also works on a networked computer so you dont waste resources on your FS machineThank you Blue Sky! Jay
February 4, 201115 yr Thank you Blue Sky!Hey, hey Mr BlueWe're so pleased to be with you,look around see what you do,everybody smiles at you etc.The thing I like about these moving map apps is disabling the aircraft position and then using vor/ndb/fmc etc to determine where I think I am and then enabling the aircraft position to see if I am right!
February 5, 201115 yr Yeah; thanks! Good to see, that you like it. It also works on a networked computer so you dont waste resources on your FS machineAre you using it with WideFS? I would still need confirmation, that it works with WideFS without any problems as I'm personally flying just on a single machine setup.Hey, hey Mr BlueWe're so pleased to be with you,look around see what you do,everybody smiles at you etc.That's nice! I like that. :( :( :biggrin:And from another thread (http://forum.avsim.net/topic/325809-yet-another-free-jewel/):Only US ones though, I think, not Europe where I fly. The reason is that the US government provides those charts for free, unlike any european country or organisation.Yes, that's true. If any organization would provide this kind of map service for any other country, I would be pleased to integrate it.Getting an error downloading a file from the internet. 404/website not found.That is probably due to the fact, that you flew outside of US airspace. Or the map service was down. Sometimes also the NOAA weather server is down (if you use the weather radar). --------------------------- Blue Skies, Gottfried www.blueskyscenery.com

The first few days I got an error box that said it couldnt find FSUIPC, then it just started working ok. Jay
February 5, 201115 yr Hi, I would like to give this a try, but the server has my ip address confused and said I had downloaded too much. I looked at the ip and it not mine so it must be my AT&T gateway id or something. Any ideas on how to get this? If someone could email it to me that would be great but not sure the size of the download. I have gmail and I am not sure what the size limit is.RegardsBob Officially retired

February 7, 201115 yr Wow, what a nice little addition, Thanks BlueSky!! I really like the refresh rate on the aircraft symbol and the AI allowing some very smooth movement across the map.RegardsBob It is only 866 KB in size - PM me with your e-mail address. Officially retired
