So much joy and excitement...

..may soon be made illegal!

After my many years of enjoying FS Navigator in my FS 2000, FS 2002, and FS 2004 flight Sims, Helge Schroeder has now made the same wonderful program available for FSX enthusiasts, called; "FS Tramp"...>>>

http://www.fstramp.com/

A wonderful addition to FSX, and highly recommended!

It has opened a renewed interest in my FSX which I didn't have before, after enjoying the same program in my trusty FS 2004!... :-*...!

Give it a try, (free demo for a while), it opens an all-new World in FSX with all the data it supplies for Radio Navigation, airfield details, moving map, airfield layout,....and..the location of all the fuel pumps!

Wonderful stuff!

Paul...FS 2004...FSX...and a Big Grin!... ;D...!

P.S...I found I needed BOTH SP 1, AND SP 2 installed for the program to display!
I also changed the default Hot Key to F9, the same as FS Nav!

FSNav was a wonderful program.

This one is certainly not cheap, but...very tempting.

It really is an excellent program...

...as well as showing the Airfield layout and the Fuel Pump locations, it also displays the other Pilots appearing in Multiplayer mode!

So you wont get lost again!

Paul...FS 2004+FS Nav+Plan-G+Tramp/FSX+Plan-G+Tramp!

I use both FS Nav and Plan-G v2.0.5, for my FS 2004, but for FSX I find that Tramp shows the positions of all the Fuel Pumps, where installed, (important for me), and also has a built-in "Multiplayer" option (like FS Nav).
Tramp also updates the contents of the page much quicker than Plan-G.
I like running BOTH Tramp AND Plan-G to get the best of both programs.
(Plan-G v 2.0.5 contains the various (very nice!) Google Satellite Map variations).
Most/all of my flights still use FS 2004, so I am still experimenting with Tramp and Plan-G on FSX!

My advice would be; give BOTH Tramp AND Plan-G a try on FSX, (and FS 2004!).

Paul... 8-)....!

Does it run in FSX full screen?

I hate anything that requires window mode  :'(

Thank you so much for that info. Pretty much will skip this one then.

Yes, windowed mode for me is a no go, tried it, hate it.

I just cannot see why devs could not just add it into fullscreen, heck the devs who made GSX, FsP etc. could do it, why not movig map devs  :'(

Such a pitty though, would have loved a map working in fullscreen.

I get lost all the time in FSX  :-[

Windowed mode is not so much the problem, Plan-G also has to be run in windowed mode anyhow. Will give it a further try when I'm back home.

Carlo... ;)...!

As FS Tramp runs inside The Flight Sim, (the same as FS Nav), you may find that it loads and updates much quicker than Plan-G, which runs external to the Flight Sim!

Paul.

Tip: I assigned the F9 key to FS Tramp, the same as FS Nav!...familiarity!... ;D...1
