FSX-MS Any FSnavigator lovers out there..check this out

[ajpongress 467]

now i am assuming people are having issues with this in DX9 FSX...Has anyone tried it in DX10 FSX, because i suspect it will handle the window issue a lot better in dx10

 

Why do you think it's better in dx10? Have you tried it in dx10 fullscreen without issues?

Has anyone paid for it yet please and do you see more facilities after payment?

 

I see no PDF instructions?

Can anyone who has this working in full screen post what they did to get it working?

If I move the window in full screen, it continually redraws itself over the same window corrupting the display.

 

Someone said in an earlier thread they had it working in full screen, but I don't see how.

I have it working fullscreen but I am using DX10

Remember - the docs state that it is NOT working properly in fullscreen so it will be a hit or miss. I have found that when a developer says something doesn't work, it is generally not a good idea to try to force it to work. I have seen systems trashed with that type of activity.If an errant program starts randomly writing to memory or HDD, you are asking for trouble. May I suggest leaving it to the developer who knows his own code to work out the issues? Some may not care if the reformat and reinstall due to an error but others would have a problem.

I emailed the developer, and he replied that he can't make it work in full screen.

From his email, it sounded like he gave up trying to make it work so unless he changes his mind and works on it again, or until someone else finds an alternate solution, most full screen users are out of luck.

It runs within FSX, and has airport parking maps.

FINALLY.

 

..and also the exact positions of any Fuel Pumps on the Airfield...the same as FS Nav!

 

I paid around £35 for FS Nav when it was first released...so 30 Euros for Tramp would be a bargain now!

 

Paul....FS Nav for FS 2004....Tramp for FSX!.... :Bug: ...!

Same here. Followed all instructions to the letter, and I always load FSX in windowed mode. When I try to switch to FS Tramp, the map appears for a split second, then it, along with FSX, disappears. Its a straight and immediate crash to desktop without error messages or restarting. Event viewer lists terrain.dll as the faulting module, except one time when it was fs-traffic.dll.

I regret jumping the gun,and buying this. I was banking on the rep of the origional FS Nav author.

Oh well, that was a loss.

[doorstep 46]

I think it's a fantastic program and have already purchased. It has a lot of features that FSnav didn't have. B)

I really hope that Helge manages to sort a few problems out, and doesn't got disillusioned by too many negative comments regarding Tramp for FSX, which I suspect what happened, (amongst other things), and prevented the programmed port-over from FS Nav to FSX at the time.

 

Paul...FS Nav for FS 2004 + Tramp for FSX... :biggrin: ...!

 

P.S...My "Tramp" works fine with FSX in; "Windowed Mode", which I think is necessary when running in Multiplayer Mode with FS Host (FSHostClient), anyway!

[ajpongress 467]

Just a word of caution to all:

 

I can't get the trial to run either like others in this thread. After emailing the developer, he told me that any problems with his software is caused by unstable overclocked hardware.

Well...I don't have any overclocked hardware.

 

I've since emailed him back three times telling him this and politely asking for help to troubleshoot his trial product. As of today, all emails have gone unanswered and ignored.

Obviously I'm not spending any money on FSTramp at this point, and based on the complete lack of help from the developer and his "it's not my problem, it's yours" attitude, I never will.

 

It looks like FSCommander is the only way I'll get a moving map. Too bad too, because if FSTramp worked I would have bought it just because it runs within FSX.

yep...same thing here...its what i like to call a "garbage dump app", left for dead by its developer but still left on the marketplace for sales.
