October 2, 201114 yr Hey all, Just wondering - can anyone suggest any way to record a flight path and overlay it over charts/plates? Also, it would be good if you can also view this in real time. I've seen a bit about AivlaSoft's EFB, but it may be a bit of overkill as I just fly GA. It's also a bit on the expensive side, and requires a subscription to keep current with charts. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks,Andrew H e l p k e e p A V S I M f l y i n g

October 2, 201114 yr Author Thanks guys. Al - can EFB record? My primary goal here is to begin practicing more precise navigation, and would like to be able to compare my flight path to nav charts/plates after the fact. I didn't see that as a function on their website. cheersAndrew H e l p k e e p A V S I M f l y i n g
October 2, 201114 yr Im sure FlightSim Commander9 allow you that, i think it makes a file you open in google earth. Regards Luke M
October 2, 201114 yr Author Ok, maybe I wasn't clear: I'd like to -overlay- my flight path onto various charts and plates :) thanks,Andrew H e l p k e e p A V S I M f l y i n g
October 2, 201114 yr Commercial Member You can use the above program to record a flight to be displayed in google earth, then use the following KML file to display sectionals/terminals etc into google earth: http://www.gelib.com...ited-states.kml If you're hoping to have it overlaid on a approach plate you are probably out of luck. GEO Referenced approach plates are expensive and I doubt any FS programs have that capability. Noah Bryant
October 2, 201114 yr Author Thanks Noah. I think if EFB recorded, that would work, as it shows flight path over approach plates, including a profile view. I'll probably email them to find out if there is a way to do this. Andrew H e l p k e e p A V S I M f l y i n g
