When u say link flight plans, does that mean FSX ATC will read whats in RXPs FP?

 

I don't believe so..

Too bad RXP can't get a 2012 Database.

Bert,

 

Somehow I did not manage to get the revision history page.

 

1. Using the link takes you to the Appcast page for ver 1499?

No mention of ver 1600.

 

2. Clicking on 1499 takes you to Appcast page for 1600.

Not logical.

 

3. Which then gives release info for ver 1499, not ver 1600?

 

What am I missing here?

Best Regards,

Andy,

 

I was using FireFox.

So I tried Internet Explorer ... It worked!

 

So, as you instructed, I will go fix FireFox. But, this is the first time I have noticed the any type of problem with FireFox.

Thanks for the help here.

Best Regards,

Vaughan Martell  PP-ASEL KDTW

I don't think it is a problem with the browser, just an old item in the cache.

 

I use Firefox as well, and it works fine.

Bert

It truely works well. I have the RXP in the F1 pilatus. The flight plan shows up in the other GPS units. Very nice!

I am not seeing the LinkGPS parameter in my RXPGNS.ini file ("find" function doesn't return anything either) after installing the 1.6 update. Any suggestions?

You need to manually edit the RXPGNS.ini file for any airplane where you intend to use the feature. Just add LinkGPS=On and you're good to go.
