WORKINGTITLE Working Title CJ4 v0.11.0 - CHARTS, VNAV WINDOW, DATALINK...

[badger2000 168]

Hi all

This looks great.  Can't wait to download it this evening. 

 

Quick question though.  As someone that hasn't used navigraph charts before would I be right in thinking that it's the FMS Data subscription I would need @ €25.90 per annum and not the ultimate subscription @ €74.90.  I might be tempted at the lower price but don't want to end up with something that's not sufficient.

 

Thanks

For charts you need the full subscription

Charts are definitely more pricey than just the nav data, but I have to credit Navigraph for making a great API that allows (relatively) easy deployment, and for providing georeferenced charts to allow this feature to work. We do intend to incorporate the default charts when they become available as well down the road, but right now this was our best option. Note that you can just try it out for a month on the monthly plan instead of committing the the annual plan if you want to give it a go and see if it's worth it to you.

Hmmm, this one doesn't seem to be working for me...switched to the previous version which continues to work great.

Can you give some more details on this?

MS and Boeing (who now owns Foreflight and Jeppesen) are both based in Seattle. MSFS even features their aircraft in the game... Wouldn't it be fantastic if they could partner to get the chart/nav data in this thing? Seems like a no brainer given it is used natively in the Garmins featured in MSFS as well.

Pretty impressive Navigraph is so entrepreneurial and taking advantage of this opportunity.

Here's a "simulation" aspect: as in real life there's a lot of costs adding to the price per hour in aviation. We are simulating worldwide IFR flights here, and you'll defintely need some sort of subscription for charts and avionics if you were doing these flights in real life. I just checked with Jeppesen and the worldwide annual service for digital charts will set you back 14.434,- US$ - and you can add a substantial amount for the aviation databases for your avionics. I guess Navigraph is making good money with their subscriptions, but they provide good value imho as you can use the subscription on the IPad, with SimBrief and several other applications like the CJ4 or the Milviz B350i (in P3D). As for the CJ4: I just tried the charts feature and it's working great - outstanding work!

Weird. I deleted the original download and got another one, thinking maybe it had been corrupted the first time. I also started the aircraft from cold and dark, as opposed to on the runway.

Not sure which of those made the difference, but it's working great now;

A huge and hearty thanks to the fantastic developers of this awesome mod. It's unbelievable that it's being offered at no cost.
