Yes. Sorry. I was agreeing with you. Increasing to a full second would still be good enough and reduce stuttering.

Yeah. I see. It was just some brain fart from me, that it maybe could help to increase and scatter the queries a bit more ^^

Right now we don't really know how Asobo will behave in terms of updates and fixes. So I am grasping for every straw.

[Gabe777 132]

No worries. It's a bit frustrating for everyone.

We all want stuff to work but we'll have to be patient.

I reckon it will be worth it though. Just gonna take time ! 😀

with 1000ms it is still annoying to fly.  

for now i just disabled Fetch AI or multiplayer aircraft to remove all stutters.

 

[Gabe777 132]

So disabling those allows you use the default polling rate OK ?

Thnx

What XML file? Simconnect? You don't need that. See here for networked stuff:

Can someone help with getting this to work with MSFS 2020. I can turn on the program and start FS20 and it says connected. In terms of the LNM though, I cant search for aiports, I can't select airports as Departure or Destination etc. Those options are greyed out.

Sorry if this is a duplicate question - I looked through to see but my blind eyes did not find it.  

I have any existing X-Plane 11 configuration with Little Navconnect on a Windows 10 computer, and LNM running on a Mac.  I now have installed MSFS 2020 on the Windows computer and looking for instructions on how to enable the LNM connection on the Mac to MSFS 2020 using simconnect.  I have downloaded it - but now not sure which system it should be on.  

Thank you in advance.

I guess I'm blind cuz I cannot find this in the Options menu, or anywhere else. All I see are the two icons for AI and they're a toggle on/off.

Hey Alex,

I just took a look at the MFS files.
There is an "fs-base-nav" folder with tons of BGL files. Maybe a clue? :)

Errr ... well ... yes. Thanks. I'm aleady stuck deep in this folder and others and trying to find out what has changed inside the BGL files. At least I can see airports, aprons and runways already.
Progressing slowly but steadily. Looks like the first half of one percent of all the work is done.😉

This is an option in the connection dialog (Tools -> Flight Simulator Connection).

See pinned post here:

SimConnect (https://www.littlenavmap.org/downloads/SimConnect/) has to be installed on the flying computer. It is for Windows only anyway. It is the same procedure like for FSX/P3D.
On the remote computer go to LNM menu -> "scenery library " -> "Navigraph" and select "Use Navigraph for all features". This will give you airports. LNM cannot read the MSFS library yet. Working on it.

See line above about scenery library. This should help
