January 1, 20224 yr Stumbled across this app while browsing msfs youtube videos. A virtual tablet at a fraction of the cost of a real tablet. Runs from within MSFS and be called up using the in-game panel or a shortcut key (default is V) Does a bunch of cool things you'd expect an addon like this to do: - map, map filters, weather, airports, etc. Allows upload of pdfs for inflight viewing - charts, manuals, etc. Requires setting up two api keys for Bing maps and weather - the website provides detailled instructions on how to do this. No impact on framerates. Thumbs up from me! Link to the addon: https://sky4sim.com/sky4sim-pad/ Review and tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upy2n8bQ778
January 1, 20224 yr That looks really good. I think I will get it. I like the look of the map layers and the way it is resizable. Thanks for the heads-up! Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind). I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

January 1, 20224 yr it needs to run as its on app on a separate monitor. In game apps take to much desktop space and If you window them your framerates are cut in half Denwagg Steam MSFS 2020.

January 1, 20224 yr I'm having problems with it, as the navdata update process is very messy and it delivers missing information on several airports. The developers are also certainly not fast to offer solutions.

January 2, 20224 yr I use it in VR to have some pdf documents handy. The flight planning is limited to traditional navaid. Also good to consult weather in VR ( the GTN750 can also provide this information). PierreP3D when its freezing in Quebec....well, that's most of the time...C-GDXL based at CYQB for real flying when its warming up...

I had to contact the Little Navmap developer who also developed the open source database extractor being used by Sky4Sim, and he recognized there's a bug in the database extractor that will probably be fixed in the next Little Navmap update (told me in months). The guys at Sky4Sim remains silent.

February 2, 20224 yr @edpatino Ed, so then you must also have the same missing info in LNM, yes? PS - they did get back to me today regarding the lack of teleporting, but they do not intend on adding this feature, currently. Dave Kalin Excel Classes Computer Lessons
