September 25, 20187 yr Hi I'm currently using FsMovMap2 Pro and I'm having trouble seeing some of the features. It doesn't always show the flight plan, and it doesn't always show up the airports unless you're very close. Anyway, does anyone have an alternative to FsMovMap2 Pro? I do like it, but I just would like to see an alternative. Thanks, Gaz How does Moses make his coffee? Hebrews it. I took the shell off my racing snail, thinking it would make him run faster. If anything, that made him more sluggish. Gaz on Facebook
September 25, 20187 yr I use Navigraph Charts. I like with its map function I can overlay some approach charts and the airport diagrams are helpful when taxiing. Is it done yet? When will it be released? Will it be freeware or payware? How much will it cost? Any updates on the progress? Will it work for Xbox? Can I be a beta tester? How's the performance in VR?
September 25, 20187 yr Hi Gaz, If you happen to live and fly in North America - FltPlan GO is the best thing since sliced bread... It's a completely FREE moving map EFB and is the ONLY source of FREE georeferenced approach plates and taxi diagrams I've ever seen... It has both plates on sectional or stand alone modes... Been using it for years - it supports FSX, P3D, and XP on Apple, Android, and Windows tablets... Love it... https://flttrack.fltplan.com/FltPlanInfo/FltPlan-Free-Services.html Regards, Scott Edited September 25, 20187 yr by scottb613
September 25, 20187 yr Just tried to get that FltPlan Go. What a nonsensical drawn-out MS-linked process ! Gave up bothering with it. Rick Almeida
September 25, 20187 yr Err... You register (for free) on their website, you DL the (free) app to your tablet, and you download the (free) utility which links P3D to the tablet. MS-linked? Well, the utility does run on the PC, but that's 'cause P3D does. 🙂 This is a real world app, so its use model is very much real world as well but that's part of the appeal to me. Nevertheless, they officially support sims (FSX/P3D and XP) and it works very very well. A top recommendation from me as well - with the one proviso that its north america only.

September 25, 20187 yr I fully agree with Scott, oh! and Scott too, about Fltplan.com and its Fltplan Go app. If you do a search here on Avsim you should come up with a couple of detailed review messages I posted some time back, including understanding of how it links up. It is not an nonsensical drawn out process. It just requires establishing a link between your flight sim computer and the Fltplan Go app on your tablet with both connected to the same wireless network. You must establish an account (free) and to get the maximum benefit you must plan and save your flight plans at Fltplan.com. Once saved at the web site, and signed in via the app, the flight plans are available in the app. You can also access the web site via the app. Here is a link to my 2015 topic. The resulting topic continues for 8 pages and there are great tips as far in as pages 7 and 8, as features have continued to grow. https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/471387-fltplan-go-app-for-ipad-way-cool/ Edited September 25, 20187 yr by fppilot Frank Patton Corsair 5000D Airflow Case; MSI B650 Tomahawk MOB; Ryzen 7 7800 X3D CPU; ASUS RTX 4080 Super; NZXT 360mm liquid cooler; Corsair Vengeance 64GB DDR5 4800 MHz RAM; RMX850X Gold PSU;; ASUS VG289 4K 27" Display; Honeycomb Alpha & Bravo, Crosswind 3's w/dampener.

September 25, 20187 yr Hi Folks, The other great benefit of your FREE FltPlan account is they have performance profiles for just about every GA and BizJet (a few airliners) aircraft ever made - so you can get some real world fuel burns and time performance with your flight plan as well... Regards, Scott
September 25, 20187 yr Author I appear to have caused a bit of an argument, and I'm sorry for that. I didn't mention, I don't live in North America - I live in the UK, so I'm guessing one of those apps won't help. Maybe I should simply stick to what I have... Gaz How does Moses make his coffee?
