"Is Skyvector worldwide? "

sure, check it out:

skyvector.com

and has several weather overlays, and TFRs for the US. unfortunately no geo-referenced airport diagrams.

I know about the web site.  Use it often.  The question was about the in-sim moving map that is in beta.

If someone is looking for best payware quality, try FS Tramp, similar to the old pal FS Navigator, but updated and now compatible with MSFS (previously compatible with FSX, P3D and X-Plane). It runs together with MSFS via SimConnect.

Cheers, Ed

Does this mean it can be running networked now?

Kind regards, Michael

Not sure. I never tried. But for sure it doesn't run on a browser.

To get more info, I suggest asking directly to the developer (Helge Shroeder) at support (http://www.fstramp.com/)

I asked him a few years ago and the answer was it will NEVER run networked. This may or may not still apply. Given I use FS-FlightControl I can live with this, although it's sure a good program.

Kind regards, Michael

OK..  Is Skyvector worldwide?  That will be a great advantage if so.

 

Enroute charts are worldwide, approach and departure procedures are not.

It would be really nice if some of these freeware web app type moving map authors could work together in a kind of meta-team similar to what we have with the Working Title G1000.

Seems like there is a new one with slightly different features coming along every couple of weeks.

It uses a Web service and a Chrome Extension.

You can see it working here:

Man I love you for posting this, works like a charm.

 

FYI - in works with Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge

Thanks for sharing. It's amazing which add-ons MSFS initiated. As far as I read, this can't be running on a networked machine right now which I would prefer, less because of the resources it consumes but because it blocks view onto the scenery/panel.

But given it's simconnect-based and runs in a browser, I would expect this can be done, wouldn't it?

Kind regards, Michael

It's meant for a multi-monitor setup. So yeah if you only have a single monitor and don't ever pop out glass panels..  

The only reason it runs a web service is to allow an existing browser app like SkyVector to attach to MSFS.

It consumes a very tiny amount of resources. There should not be any performance decrease whatsoever

Good  for  sharing  but  for  those  that have  navigraph  charts have this  function  already  which has  more  features  and  can  have  running  on a  different screen

I have Navigraph as well. It is a great product. SkyVector is freeware and so is my add-on, so it's intended for a different community

It works with Edge really?  I didn't even think to try it 😀

I agree. Running 3 different web services to get different features from the sim doesn't make sense. Same thing happened with GTAV RP.  We will get there at some point.

The github is missing some files. There is no bin folder and there is no FsWebService.exe according to the doc. Unless I am missing something?

Did you get my posts to the release files? Is it working for you now?

Working great thanks.

Apologize for the multiple posts here.  The multiquote feature does not seem to be working.

-------------------

I note a Layers icon in the top border menu.  Are IFR map layers available, such as High and Low enroute maps?  And the import and export of flight plans mentioned, are those to be routines for .pln files or .flt files?

Those are weather and nav layers. Map layers are the pill shaped buttons bellow layers icon.

I just released an add-on that allows you to convert exported .fpl files into .PLN for direct loading into MSFS 2020 Git it HERE
