    I've now achieved my goal of plotting the route of my world tour using Google Earth. @bill10 gave me the way to do it but after investigating I couldn't work out how to achieve it.

     

    You shoulda hit me up Ray I would have been more than willing to help you out with the "ADD PATH" option. But you found a way to get it done, good job.

    NOT a stupid question!

    Check this out for some basic info:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flap_(aeronautics)

    As to what flap settings to use for the C421 check out the Aircraft's Operating Manual.

    I haven't bought the scenery yet but I believe, I,ve seen the screenshots, that the scenery is a take on what the airport WILL look like in the future.

    The last runway, of the real life O'Hare Modernization Program, being built now is 9C/27C. The scenery contains this future runway. The scenery also contains a Western Terminal which hasn't been built.  The configuration of the taxiways, on the northside, are also different in the scenery than in real life. Which is why they don't match the charts.

    The MCDU with its navigation database won't have 9C/27C since its not complete and operational.

    If you google O'Hare Modernization Program you can find lots of information about the future look of the airport.

    Hi Folks,

    I use Chaseplane and jack my position in the cockpit a little higher over the glare shield - I'm tall... When the attitude of the aircraft is level - it seems the view out the front appears to be too steep of a decent to correlate properly... What's the parameter to play with this angle - the view as it relates to the model - the one in the aircraft.cfg or panel.cfg ? I want the default reference view to be looking a little more straight out the front - more aligned with the horizon in level flight...

    Thanks...

    Regards,

    Scott

    I used to fiddle around with this in FS9, so it has been awhile, but I believe its in the panel.cfg file

    view_forward_dir     Enables you to change the default value of the view direction. Enter values for Pitch, Bank, and Heading.

    Hello Sky56 .... sorry for the late reply.

    cmpbellsjc gave you a great answer!  I would add that before you try to network some addons make SURE the networking of your 2 computers is spot on and working.

    Get the folder permissions, windows defender exclusions and so fourth working BEFORE you attempt to network your addons. This will save you some headaches down the road.

    #3 If you are talking about AiviaSoft's  EFB its works great in a networked config. The manual has an in depth process to get you up and running.

    Not sure about 3 or 4 either since I don’t use those products.

    As stated above the performance gain is probably minimal at best but the ability to use Aiviasoft's EFB moving map and have the Active Sky window open on a separate screen is why I have my setup networked.

    Hello Sky56,

    I have an FSX setup that has FSX on one machine and multiple addon's on another machine. I have Active Sky, FSUIPC Wide Client, AiviaSoft EFB along with PFPX and Navigraph Charts. Of course the last two are not networked, they run stand alone, but the others are networked.  I mainly have it setup this way so to have the addon windows open so I can refer to them during a flight.

    What addon's do you want networked?

    If the comment on that web site  "a version that does not require registration" is true it is an illegal and hacked copy. There are many other untruths on that page, such as "there is nothing to compare with it for FSX" because the same developer has produced one although development is ongoing. That is the reason why (much to everybody's disappointment, the FS9 software was discontinued.

    The developer has confirmed there are no "free to use" versions of FSNavigator other than an occasional randomly generated free registration which was offered at the time as an incentive.

    Hopefully Brian still has his original registration information.

    Here is a link to v4.7:

    John,

     I believe Bob's site just has a download of the same fsnav470.zip file as the site you linked. If I remember correctly you get 20 sessions free before you must pay and register the software.

    If a horse race always had 10 brown colored horses and one day someone brought a different colored one and said it would for sure win, some of you in here would shoot the horse in the stall before it even got to the starting gate.

    Might be the best post ever.
