PSXT and foreflight interference

[cessnap 0]

When zooming in on foreflight to the taxiway, the screen rotates around when the aircraft is taxiing so it's difficult to follow the path of the aircraft.

What has that to do with PSXT?

Try changing your foreflight setting from "aircraft heading" is up to north is up. I suspect the exact same happens when you taxi IRL. And btw, how does this have anything to do with PSXT?

It only happens when I am running PSXT.

Changing to North up does work, thanks.

Maybe it only happens too when you are using your micro wave 😉

Glad that worked...sounded like your aircraft icon was fixed, and the map was rotating around the icon - exactly why I use north up on all in-aircraft nav systems that allow it. After all, the earth doesn't move relative to your aircraft, your aircraft moves relative to the earth

Yes it only happens with PSXT because without PSXT foreflight won't show your aircraft movements. It's PSXT that sends the aircraft position data to foreflight but foreflight is moving the map/aircraft icon, not PSXT.

No, PSXT sends the aircraft position and heading to RT.

PSXT has no notion of or connection with ForeFlight.

Ah yes I see there are settings in RT for foreflight connection to RT - OOPS.

I thought RT sends position and heading to PSXT and PSXT injects into MSFS via SimConnect.

No, PSXT is leading wrt the the user aircraft position, RT follows.  

PSXT let the Simulator spawn ai aircraft via SimConnect. About the user aircraft it collects some information via Simconnect (user on ground, model, ..), but it does not set anything about the user aircraft via Simconnect.
