    Forgot type of senery I required information on

    Hi Everyone, who has helped me with getting back to Flight sim (THANK YOU)  I have now purchased FS Navigator and FSUIPC (wide) as recommended. and they work fine on GPS I can once again Fly the default Barron over the VFR real Scenery I had left from the last exploits on FSX.

    UK 2000 as sent me my Previous airports and and a couple of those have been added .

    As I am just flying on flight following  and watching the map for my position Then call in to the require Airport to land (WONDERFULL ) But I am missing the severn bridges and other landmark as i fly over 

    I have found that Simarket have a program that woul be perfect , But it does not mension FSX but says it is compatable with VFR real Scenery.

    Does anyone know it it will be OK and work on FSX.

    Had to edit Brain miss 🙃 function' the program function  function   VF-N.RYALL SOUTHWEST ENGLAND LANDMARK SCENERY.

    Thank you all again .

    Rex.

    Hi Rex.

    im useless at spelling, but hope my post is of some use to you 

    I s just come back to swimming after many years away, .

    The use of iPad  and Air Nav Pro for car navigation, the iPad must have a slot in the side of it for a SIM card, but no SIM card required. The iPad has its onboard sensors 3G .a second hand iPad but make sure it has a slot on it for a SIM card.

    Hello 

    I use Plan G this is free a ware map and displays a moving aeroplane.

    Can be connected to Interface FSUIPC and used on a second monitor, Thw connection of this map on a second monitor is very easy.

    I also use Flight Sim Commander, this is payware, But well worth the money, both of the maps mentioned will run on the same computer in a sub panel but computer must be in window mode, not full screen mode. It as above can use FSUIPC to run on second monitor, found connection more difficult but probably the better of the two not by much.

    The third option is I think very good, But it payware and used but reall Pilots   For navigation, You need an iPad or iPhone, the Android version is cheaper but not finished. I connect via you router or wi fi to a port number on the computer, it’s quite simple to do and works well, you have you moving map on the iPad screen together with lots of currant met info. Plus you can load a flight plan, and lots of other things.

    It’s called Air Nav Pro and in the Apple store, You also have to by the maps but there are currant Topo maps, 

    just turn you pc on make up a flight plan, turn iPad on and all is on the screen with pc talking to iPad just like a Topo GPS, And you can use it in the car for navigation no SIM card required, The beauty of this one is there’s no GPS charge, just buy the maps they go out of date after a year but you can use them for life.

    Hi Trubshaw.

    Flight sim commander,That reminded me,It was the program I used after FS Navigator I uused on XP. but as what is left of my grey matter after ten years of aphasia treatment I stugel to read and concentate of swaping and changeing files so to purchase  a CD/DVD and to just install is my only hope .One of my son in laws is a full time tecy for a large local company so I am saveing the downloads and read me for hopefull him to find time to trave down here to Emoor to assist me😂

    Not sure of your definition of a moving map.

    Perhaps you are looking for features that LNM hasn't implemented or just need help setting it up?

    In that case a list of your wants might help fellow simmers recommend something closer to what you re looking for.

    Hi airernie

    When i started FS I use FS navigator ,But that will not work  om win7 pro 64bit.

    Thank you for your reply

    Looks like a great aircraft.  Sorry, I don't have it.  When you say you are trying to set it up for a

     

    flight, do you mean getting the FMC and all the stuff programmed in, along with all of the

     

    start up procedures?  I'm hoping someone who has this aircraft will jump in and give you

     

    a hand. 

     

     

    Good luck, Rex! ^_^

    Hi again  yes it came with lots of things to do and setup as you say . If there is one thing I have lernt with age and my problems is patience,and the ability to accept mental defeat with grace :P

    regards and thank you

    Hi all

    I have amazed myself ,What with the help of AVSIM members I have recalled most of my past knowlage of Microsoft Flight Simulator  but the part of my brain that lets me lern new ways is out of reach. I can fly the small planes  useing Microsoft flight planners on ILS and free flight following.But my downloaded focker as got me beat. I can not Set it up for use on my PC it is loaded into FSX airplanes and can load it in Current Aircraft But no way can I understand how to set it up for a flight.Load the diferent windows in the cabin. I have realy tried, but I just can not cope with all the instuctions.my brain just wont accept them into my memory. But once they are set up I can still remember how I used to Fly Project Focker in FS2004.

    Can I pay for a FSX expert to enter my PC with team Viewer and set it up for me.

    Best regards

    Hi P

    Yes I have been doing that when I was useing Plan-G Map.  but now I have got FS Tramp and the fly to here app I have got used to sitting back and flying all over the south of the UK visting places I used to Pitch my tent and twitch as In Birdwatching :blush:  I visited Sky a few days ago and flew over the mountan I ticked off the Golden eagle and flew along the sea cliffs I tick the Sea eagle. FSX as more to offer than than people who dont use Flight Simulator realise. Most people when you say your pc hoggy is simulating Flying an aicraft they think it is just a boys toy arcade game   Utill you sit them down with Piper J3 Cub explain a few basics put their hand on the throttle contol and their other on the joy stick and say off you go giving them instuction. :LMAO:

    Hi thank you both

    I now have sorted it out and all is well for anyone that purchase an ASUS moniter The button to use is the 5th from the right and must be held depressed untill you see a change A few seconds.

    This is all I made that call to ASUS tecnical pay helpline and ater a few minutes I was conected to a lady and explained verbaly what I had done and could not change the input  She waffeled on for quite a while about compatability I told her the model numbers so she could check compatability of these very latest ASUS mnoniters and she said she did not have them listed :angry: I the not so politly told her she was total incapable to help and said good-by.

     

    All you recieve in the box is a very limited quick start quick start sheet with no informationof about changeing the input signal and a multi language Guarantee booklet.?? from ASUS these days,and download information is also not very informative. my previous small moniter you just kept pressing the input button untill your input recever showed DVI. Once all the set up was complete and the input was showing HDMI no signal recieved  I tried all the buttons avalable numerouse time with no effect.

    Thank you both for your correct responce.

    Regards

    Rex


    Now that I can see what is on the Screen and setting it up I see on the menu they point out the input select button. :blush:  surely that woman should have know that. :wacko:
