I am looking for a good, easy to use, free radar to keep track of multiplayer in FS9.

Thanks in advance.

Our Chums over at WSP (Worlds Serious Pilots), use a version of Google Mapping which shows the positions of all their Pilots who are flying on line in their various Multiplayer Servers in "real time" (updating).
An excellent idea.

It is possible to zoom down to them, and see the Google Scenery around them, Airfields, etc...

I wonder if it can be incorporated into Sim V's Multiplayer Server...(Sam?).... ::)...!

We do have this:

I can access it through the webpage function of my FS9 Kneeboard.

Thanks for the link Shane, I'll check that out.

That's the one!... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

I think the Gauge that Shane refers to, only covers AI Aircraft...not our Multiplayer Aircraft?

The Google Map updates at intervals. The FS Nav Radar Map updates continuously, in real time.

Yeah Shane, that's not exactly what I'm looking for. I want something with a map that I can watch other players flying around airports so I can act as ATC.

I don't know of any maps you can use in game like the google one.

I do know that radar gauge will show multiplayer planes, because I've used the stripped down version (center display only) for that very purpose.  ;)

If you have multiple monitors, you could have the google type map open on one, with FS running on the other. I do this with my FSNavigator, it helps me keep up with Fozzer on his lovely tours of SOCAL.  :)

B-Valvs,

For ATC needs, try the radar screen program on this page. Don't forget the service pack below it.

Jakes,

Yes, a Traffic Collision Avoidance System. A very quick look pulled up this gauge on fs.com, but I'm sure we have a few here too.

@flightsim.com


Other than that, a standalone gauge is great too! As far as that goes, I'm guessing that you are thinking of employing that certain green radar one that everyone seems to use, but if I may mention a very nice variant of that....it is a similar system but is in color. Green for non conflict aircraft, white for nearby aircraft on the ground, yellow for possible conflict, and red for imminent conflict/collision threat.
It is found in the Chinook by Mark Adams and Tom Woods, on this page (fourth from top):
http://www.simviation.com/fs2004helicopters13.htm

It is a really excellent interpretation of a TCAS system.


Yes John, it does.  :)

This is the exact one I use, but it is identical to the one linked to above, minus the fancy border.

Looking for the GPS thing...give me a minute...
