When I request Taxi from ATC I am given a route to the departure runway. If I have the appropriate Assistance option set to make the taxi route visible I then have a graphic to lead me in the correct direction. Similarly after landing, when I request taxi to the gate (or parking) I can again get guidance. I'm wondering if such paths can be shown on the Navmap and on the remote map. I realise that the infomation may not be provided by MSFS and so may not be possible. If the information is there then, perhaps this could be considered for a future enhancement. Trevor

The default keyboard command for 'ARM AUTO THROTTLE' in the Autopilot section is Left Shift R. I have this bound to a button on my TM Warthog. It works for PMDG, Fly by Wire and the default MSFS aircraft. I'll try later today to see if the binding is a toggle - from memory I think it is.

Bingo - That was the solution. I had tried YES (all caps) but not your suggestion of "Yes" and believe it or not, I did read the manual which still says yes (all small letters). Many Thanks

I have updated to the latest release of FSLTL Injector V1.3.2 using the FBW Installer. I have checked that the "silent":"yes" option is coded in the configuration file. It now gives me the prompt at startup. It's as though the option is ignored. I know it's not a big deal just to press enter but ... Any ideas please. Trevor

Alt+Shift+T Menu Map -- Delete Aircraft Trail

Worked perfectly - Many Thanks Trevor

I am experimenting with the new FSLTL release and I want to start the Injector as part of my semi automated start up routines. I have a batch program to start my Joystick, TrackIR and Little Navmap software before it starts MSFS . My other routines are started by the FSUIPC7 software which is triggered by MSFS. I can start the FSLTL Injector program using FSUIPC7 BUT when it starts it opens a window and I have to hit enter for the program to accept my parameters and start the injection process. Is there an option which I can code for the "....\Community\fsltl-traffic-injector\fsltl-trafficinjector.exe" command which will remove the need for me to hit the enter key ?? MSFS has a "-FastLaunch" flag and I am looking for something similar. I have searched for any documentation which may give details of such a flag but without success. Trevor

Another option for you ... Start File Explorer Enter in the search bar 'shell:appsfolder' (no quotes) You get icons for the all the apps Find Microsoft Flight Simulator and right click on it Select the option to Create a Shortcut You get a message about not being able to create one here - do you want one on the desktop Say yes and there you are. You can then modify the shortcut to perhaps run as administrator or move it somewhere else.

Have you tried changing the theme ? In an earlier post Alexander explained why OpenStreetMap is giving the problems you see - server access has been withdrawn (without notice). The advice is to select a different map theme Select Menu Item View at the bottom of the list of options select Theme Then pick a theme which is NOT openstreetmap. I chose StamenTerrain. Using that theme I get parking spaces !!

The settings for the throttle detents are definitely set in the EFB of the FBW A320. I strongly recommend looking at the tutorial available from 'flightsimtoday'. For the reverse thrust I do NOT use the EFB. In fact in the EFB I turn off any reverse thrust settings. To set reverse thrust I make use of the fact that in the Flight Sim if you press the 'Decrease Throttle' command ( F2 on the keyboard ) and keep it pressed then the throttle will go into reverse thrust. So I assign these to the reverser switches on the Hotas Throttle. The switches are numbers 29 and 30 so both of these are assigned to 'Decrease Throttle'. I should say that I do not split the throttle so I have not experimented with using separate throttles. This method also makes reverse thrust work on any aircraft with such a reverser facility. Moving the throttle away from the reversers area disengages reverse. Using this method does not allow for any control of the amount of reverse thrust applied. When engaged the reverse power increases to its maximum allowed value until it is switched off. For me this is an acceptable compromise.

Another alternative is to change the location of each of the folders (Documents, Pictures etc) back to the C Drive BUT do NOT take the option you are given to move the files. In this way Windows does not see your D drive as holding the data. Do your clean install and afterwards move the folders back to the D drive. I have not found an easy way to change the location - such as a powershell script - so each folder has to be changed manually. This is a bit of a fag but better a bit of work than lose your data.

I am trying the new 2.6.14 Little Navconnect on both an Android Tablet and a Windows Laptop. I use Firefox as my browser. The user manual has not yet been updated so I used the guidance provided in the release notes. I have a couple of questions .. What does the 'Here' button do ? When I press it nothing seems to happen !! I appreciate that I have to turn 'center is aircraft' OFF before I can pan about the map. This is logical !! It also seems that I have to switch it off before I can Zoom. This does not seem logical to me. Is this working as designed ? Trevor

Alex You are right it was Beta 12. My reason for reinstalling was not only for the LNM test. I normally reinstall my whole system from scratch every 12 months. This is usually after the first major release of Windows each year. This year Windows 10 21H1 has only minor changes so I am living with it until 21H2 comes later in the Fall or Winter. I have found through the years thay Windows is so bad at keeping itself clean that a reinstall helps with my system's performance and cures any odd glitches I may have. It takes me about 3 days ( I have a lot of software installed) but I am retired so it is time well spent for me. My FS2020 install was quite old hence the reinstall. Back to LNM -- I tried this morning to load the plan generated from the save option in FS2020 and it did not work !! Even with a plan generated by Asobo. Something is not quite right their end !! When they sort it out it will be very useful. When Beta12 is released I will, of course, install it. Thanks for your prompt reply - all the best.

Alex Thanks for giving me access to Beta 16. I have been testing it just looking at the start position problem. My process has been Uninstal Microsoft Flight Simulator (FS2020) and remove all files. Best to start testing with a clean system. Install FS2020 - Note I use my G: drive - a SSD. Start FS2020 and install all the optional files. Install ORBX EGNM - Leeds/Bradford - my local airport - into the Community folder. Install the LittleNavMap Beta 16 Rebuild the database from FS2020 Use SimBrief to generate a plan flying from EGCC (Manchester) to EGNT (Newcastle) - note SimBrief does not set departure gates. Run LNM importing the Simbrief plan. Note this step is really optional but I like SimBrief. Set a start position at Gate 22. Save the plan in LNM format - this allows me to follow my test flight on my tablet. Export the plan in FS2020 Format Start FS2020 and use the LOAD option pointing to the exported format Note at this point the departure from EGCC is showing as a Runway. At this point it appears that LNM is in error BUT --- see later Use the dropdown to change to Gate 22. Use Load/Save (space bar) to save the plan. The save operation restarts the flight and this time we are positioned at the gate. End the simulator. I then examined each of the saved plan files using Notepad. The exported format DOES contain the necessary statements for a gate start but does not seem to work in FS2020. (Step 13) The plan saved in FS2020 with the gate included DOES work !! (Step 16) Next I used a file compare program to compare the 2 files and though there are differences the statements about the departure gate are not flagged up as different. Something in the LNM exported format is not triggering the start at gate facility but I can't spot it. By the way the compare program showed a discrepancy with the way LNM exports Waypoints. The FS saved plan shows the altitute at each waypoint but the LNM version shows each waypoint with an altitude of 11000 which is the cruising altitude in this plan. I have the files available but cannot find a way of attaching them to this post. Finally the new Beta16 - I ran the LNM connected view on my Android tablet during my test flight. For me a BIG BIG improvement.

Further to my post of yesterday ... I tested my .pln with the included departure gate and it did position my aircraft in a Cold & Dark state at EGNM. Out of interest I then edited the pln file with Notepad and made the departure <DeparturePosition>GATE 8</DeparturePosition> rather than include the extra 'Parking NONE' and to my surprise this also worked. I even tried it with 'Gate 8', which is the way it is shown in LittleNavMap, and that too worked.
